A Bachelorette contestant has been slammed on social media for appearing to angle for a threesome with both Bachelorettes.

On last night's episode, Glenn Richards appeared to have misunderstood the new "double Bachelorette" set-up after new Bachelorette Lily McManus was introduced.

"I haven't had two women at the same time yet, this could be my chance," he told the camera.

After asking original Bachelorette Lesina Nakhid-Schuster if she and Lily were "together", the personal trainer then asked the doctor if she and Lily were looking for a man "each" or if it was a "two for one" deal.

He then pressed Lesina to clarify if she and Lily were "just friends".

Viewers took to social media to criticise the contestant.

"Glenn has got to go," wrote one on Facebook.

"Urghhhh why is Glenn from The Bachelorette such a creep?!" wrote another.

In a statement provided by broadcaster TVNZ, Richards said he was "just trying to have some fun with the situation".

"I'm a light-hearted kind of guy and I love a bit of banter, and that's obviously not coming through on the show unfortunately," he said.

"I was joking around with those comments and definitely didn't mean anything by it, or to cause any offence – especially to Lily or Lesina."
