After having been labelled “needy” by his male co-stars and a “stage five clinger” by viewers of the reality dating show, Jamie Doran is set to once again go to great lengths this week to win The Bachelorette Angie Kent’s heart.

Jamie’s ‘clingy’ approach to dating may be more common than many realise, and in his case, could “sabotage the relationship” with the former Googlebox star.

Psychotherapist and relationship counsellor Melissa Ferrari told HuffPost Australia that the 39-year-old firefighter displays “traits of anxiety in his attachment to Angie” that fit into the category of ‘stage five clinger’.
