Bachelor In Paradise's second shock walkout of the season

Tonight’s Bachelor In Paradise featured the second shock walkout for the season, with fan favourite James Trethewie deciding to leave the Fijian island on his own terms.

The 33-year-old only had eyes for Alex Nation, but seeing her pash Bill Goldsmith and then take Brooke Blurton on a date, was too complicated of a love square for Jimmy to handle.

“It’s just hard for me to be here while you’re exploring everything,” James told Alex at the cocktail party before the rose ceremony.

“What are you saying though?” Alex tried to clarify.

“I think I have to leave Paradise because I’ve been thinking about it all day,” he responded.

“The only person here that I feel I really wanted to explore a connection with was you. I don’t know if I can handle watching you exploring everyone else and you need to, because that’s how you feel.”

“I don’t want you to go though,” pleaded Alex, but James told her he knew in his heart that this was the right thing to do.

“I would rather you explore that and then when you’re out, call me,” he said.

It seems no love was lost between the pair, with Alex confessing: “I’m so thankful that I met you here.

“I’m so thankful for the time that I had with you because it was special. I feel like you were there for me and you just have the best heart, James. You just have the best heart.”

Earlier in the episode Bill told Alex he was “all in” with her, and no longer had an interest with Rachael Gouvignon.

Later it was date time, and Alex chose to take Brooke on a date, which led to the pair making coconut cocktails and eventually sharing a kiss.

However, Alex still gave her rose to Bill at the rose ceremony, while Brooke gave hers to American Alex Bordyukov.

Bachelor In Paradise continues at 7:30pm on Channel Ten.
