SPOILER ALERT: The Bachelors fan favourite is already ruled out of finale – after she was spotted checking out of Melbourne apartment in tears with handbag full of roses
She's the glamorous tech specialist tipped as one of model Ben Waddell's frontrunners in Ten's new season of The Bachelors.
But it looks like things will end in heartbreak for Natalie Benson, who was pictured checking out of an Airbnb ahead of the show's finale.
Ny Breaking Australia has obtained exclusive photos of the 27-year-old looking dejected as she left her accommodation on July 31.
Natalie was spotted carrying a handbag full of roses, a sign that she had just left the bachelor pad, not in triumph but in tears.
According to the onlooker who took the photos, Nat looked “visibly upset and exhausted” and said she was “ready to go home” when asked if she was moving into the apartment complex.

For comparison, 60 Minutes had 485,000 viewers, while David Attenborough's Planet Earth III attracted 336,000 visitors.
That result represents a steep 27 percent drop from the last Bachelor finale, which aired in January.
The debut episode introduced eligible Bachelors Luke Bateman, Wesley Senna Cortes, and Ben Waddel to the audience.

The season 10 finale starring Jed McIntosh, Felix Von Hofe and Thomas Malucelli had an audience of just 358,000 viewers in five cities.
In its heyday of 2018, The Bachelor would draw nearly a million metro viewers per episode.
In season 10, episodes regularly dropped below 300,000.
While the trio hopes to win the heart of one of the women vying for their attention, the premiere episode failed to win the hearts of the audience.
Angry viewers quickly took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about the debut.
“I've never seen three mediocre men in my life,” wrote one disappointed viewer.
“You could find more attractive men on King Street at 4am and that's saying something,” another added.
