I was getting up at 4am every day [for the Capital Breakfast show, alongside Roman Kemp].

She elaborated: "It was a matter of course that I cancelled family holidays, going up to Newcastle, missed weddings... because I had to work all the time."

Tyler Cameron cautions 'Bachelor,' 'Bachelorette' stars who try to 'push an agenda'
Tyler Cameron quickly became one of the most popular contestants on The Bachelorette, being the runner up in Hannah Brown's Season 15. But six years after that experience, Cameron has become a home renovation pro, with his own Prime Video reality show Going Home with Tyler Cameron. And he's found love with girlfriend Tate Madden. Cameron says much of his time on The Bachelorette feels like a "blur," until someone like Litia Garr on Season 29 of The Bachelor reminds Cameron of experiences on the show, including that his hometown wasn't at his family's actual house. But when it comes to being a successful star on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, Cameron believes you need to be authentic. "Don't go on the show trying to become something. Go on the show just to have fun. And I think that was what I did. ... I just wanted to show up for an adventure. [When some people are on the show] you can tell they're trying to push an agenda. That just comes off cheesy, easy to pick out. Be yourself. The best way to go," Cameron said to Yahoo Canada, while in Toronto for a fitness and recovery event with Celsius, which took place at Barry's and Othership last week (his favourite Celsius flavour is green apple cherry). If you're wondering about Cameron's own fitness routine, he tries to do two workouts a day, although he admits he "rarely" hits that goal. But does everything from lifting weights, basketball, football, Peloton bike and treadmill, and pickleball. "Pickleball game is falling off. I just got so busy with renovations that I kind of put pickleball in the back burner. So my goal is to get back into the game," Cameron said. In terms of relaxation and recovery, that's something the Bachelorette alum knows he has to work on. "I'm always on the go ... and then I'll come in and crash," Cameron said. "Tate's all about me fuelling myself." "It's Celsius in the morning, sometimes. It's always after lunch. ... Not much recovery." In Cameron's post-Bachelorette life, he's worked to shield his relationship with Madden from the public, keeping things private before sharing their relationship with the world. Cameron is also particularly conscious of relationships that seem to only work when they're popular on social media. "Anything you do can be scrutinized or picked apart. ... When you go and make your relationship [public] on social media right away, kind of like Bachelorette is, you kind of lose track of what the relationship really is," Cameron said. "You just do things for the social media." "I see that with so many people, that their relationship is only as good as what it is on social media. Once it starts to not be popping on social media, they just end up breaking up. I don't want to be that kind of person." But Cameron and Madden also collaborate on home renovation projects, saying that his girlfriend has a "great eye" for design. "People love her eye. She's gone quirky in some spaces, I think our home, she kind of went full quirkiness," Cameron said. "We definitely sometimes battle and then usually she's right, 90 per cent of the time. ... She kind of leads the way in the design space. ... I've been doing a lot of Airbnbs and short term rentals, and just to hear the reviews of people like, 'this is the most well thought out design,' ... a little bit of design goes a long way." But Cameron isn't done with his reality TV home renovation content, working on getting another project off the ground soon. "We're working on it. We're hoping to get that going," Cameron said. "We're in talks with some ... networks and we're trying to figure out what's the next move for the show." In terms of what still appeals to Cameron about being on TV, he highlighted that he enjoys having the memories to look back on. "When we got to do my mom's house and we get to do stuff with my dad, and we get to do stuff with my brothers, [they're] cool moments that we'll always have on TV," Cameron said. His mom died in 2020 after a brain aneurysm. "I'm always grateful to be able to go back and look at those things. That's what excites me about picking up the cameras. ... A lot of those people from that show that we did are still really, really good friends of ours. Theo and Ashley, ... they come to all of our events. ... They're great friends now."
