The Bachelorette EXCLUSIVE: The surprising reason why producers have banned this year's cast from visiting one of Sydney's most popular beaches
It's no secret that reality stars are encouraged to keep a low profile while their season airs.
And this year, producers are going to extreme efforts to avoid contestants from the new season of The Bachelorette from spoiling the series.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal this season's Bachelorette stars have been warned to stay clear of Sydney's Bondi Beach, which is a known celebrity hotspot.

'They've given us a list of places we can't be spotted at,' a contestant revealed.
'Bondi Beach, The Bucket List, Coogee Pavilion, and Bill's are all off-limits...,' the source claimed.
Last year, contestants Timm Hanly and Ciarran Stott, were 'pretty much living at the paparazzi spot' and frequently mingling with female tourists - seemingly spoiling that they didn't end up with Angie Kent.

But it seems the warnings aren't enough to stop this year's Bachelorette contestants from being spotted at the popular suburb.
'It won't work for many of us. I live around the corner, and others work close by,' the source added.
The warning comes just days after Sydney-based contestant Pascal Wallace was spotted enjoying a night out with Adelaide's Andrew Thomas at Totti’s Bondi.
It's understood Andrew had flown down for the Labour Day weekend.

Earlier this year, bookies favourite Bella Varelis proved she didn't win the series after she flaunted her friendship with fellow contestant Bec Cvilikas.
The pair were regularly spotted having brunch in Sydney's Bondi, which is hardly the sort of behaviour you'd expect from love rivals.
