Her dramatic exit came after a rough week for the pair, in which Hugo allegedly called Tayla the “C-word” during a vulgar spray which was overheard in an accidental “butt-dial”.
According to Yahoo Lifestyle, Tayla actually followed through on her threat to leave once cameras stopped rolling back in October, and had to be begged by producers to return after disappearing “for hours”.
The controversial bride reportedly walked off the set.
“Tayla was adamant she was done and even packed her bags to return home,” a source told the publication.
“It threw production into chaos as bosses then had a limited amount of time to convince her to stay before everyone went to the retreat.
“The day after filming the commitment ceremony she disappeared into the city for hours and ignored all desperate calls from producers, everyone was starting to get concerned. She was one of the most controversial participants this season and producers were not going to let her leave.
“In the end they convinced her to stay by saying she has to see her storyline through or the public will turn on her. The producers worked her too well, she had no idea she was going to be portrayed negatively and thought Hugo would be the ‘villain’.”
