On the eve of "The Bachelor" new season premiere, host Chris Harrison confirmed that a male producer had a relationship with one of the female contestants during filming.

Harrison didn't identify the producer or the contestant.

"It was embarrassing for us and in fairness to Jake and for the other women, [we said], 'Let's nip this in the bud and take care of it.' And that's what we did," he said.

The contestant has since been kicked off the show and the producer had been fired. The explosive scandal will be addressed on the show.
