For the first time, Ben Higgins is opening up about a health scare he experienced while on The Bachelor.
While searching for his happily ever after in 2016, the best-selling author wasn’t exactly feeling his best. In fact, he had a parasite in his gut that hit right when filming started.
“The craziest thing that ever happened to me on this franchise, that I can speak to openly now, is I had a massive parasite the whole time I was on the show,” he shared on the Fubo Sports podcast Drinks With Binks. “I was in Honduras—which is a country I love—for a wedding. I get a parasite in my gut.”
Ben continued, “I have an incredible stomach flu for the three months of the season, I lose 30 lbs. from start to finish.”
So how did the Bachelor Nation member hide it for so long as he searched for love with JoJo Fletcher, Lauren Bushnell, Amanda Stanton and other contestants?
