Steph Harper’s turn as a “dad” during a group photo-shoot date showed off her funny personality perfectly.
The 26-year-old The Bachelor star took hold of the role and made it her own, while the other bachelorette’s looked on stunned.
In fact, Harper was probably the perfect person to take on such a feat, as it not only showcased who she was as a person but also proved to Locky Gilbert, that she was willing to give anything a go.
Getting one of the worst costumes ever in existence (besides James Trethewie as a monk in Sophie Monk’s season of The Bachelorette, Timm Hanly as a lobster in Angie Kent’s season and Wazza’s chicken costume that promptly made him have a hissy fit and leave), Harper took control of the situation, making Gilbert laugh hysterically for at least half the episode.
In reality, Harper could not look any different from her “daddy” alter-ego and her Instagram is testament to that.
Hailing from Ocean Grove in Victoria, Harper is a special needs teacher who describes herself as “free-spirited”.
“If it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be,” she said of her relationship with Gilbert in her introduction interview.
“If he’s after a free-spirited, positive girl, then here I am. I’m quite spontaneous, free-spirited and try to remain positive in most situations.
“I also care a lot and become quite invested in people and things that I feel are very important to me, such as my work.”
We’re pretty sure after that display, Gilbert is already smitten…and so are we!
