The Australian Bachelor's Ebru Dallikavak has reportedly upset her colleagues over her appearance on the show.
The 31-year-old banker's unexplained absence from work left other colleagues 'fuming' as they reportedly had to pick up the slack, the Daily Mail reported.
Ms Dallikavak works for a Westpac bank in Melbourne. All the distractions at work led the Westpac Melbourne corporate office, management to issue a ban on discussing the show, news.com.au reported.
The brunette beauty who introduces herself to Bachelor Sam Wood by teasing "I'm here to be your Turkish delight", had only been working at the bank for less than six months before taking extended leave of absence.
An insider said overstretched colleagues deeply resented the company's approval of Ms Dallikavak's leave, which was initially unexplained.
"Then she comes back to work and people have been working back 'til 7 o'clock to cover her work, and they're p*****," news.com.au reported.
An insider at the head office told news.com.au: 'It's disgraceful'.
"At the end of the day, it's not her fault, because management's let her go. But people don't like it."
Ms Dallikavak was known around the office for her gum chewing, extreme dieting and attention to her physical appearance, news.com.au reported.
Despite all the criticism Ms Dallikavak counts her career achievements as her "biggest triumph".
"I am very proud of what I have achieved career wise and I am also proud of the person I have become today," Ms Dallikavak said.
The banker is one of 14 women still vying for the affections of Tasmanian entrepreneur Sam Wood in the third Australian season of the franchise, after five contenders were voted out.
