M-Net kicked off the reality series in South Africa, The Bachelor SA Season 1, in 2019 which saw Lee Thompson as the first bachelor. Now Thompson is planning to share, not only his life story, but also the truth behind the series. He promises that the book will not only lift a lot of weight off his shoulders but also put many rumours to rest.
Lee says he entered the show in the hopes of finding a partner. Looking back at the show and behind the scenes, he admits that he would have made different choices regarding the ladies he chose. He does give away that he was manipulated by production into not voting out certain ladies he, in fact, wanted out. In the book he will also be speaking about what truly happened between him and the final two ladies on, and after, the show. Lee was in a relationship with the final lady for about a month after the show ended. He also does still have friendships with some of the ladies.
