Ben Willoughby, the returning star, has given his approval to Fraser. He also let slip an unexpected link to Fraser’s partner. As the Lead Deckhand, he spilled the beans exclusively to E!. “Oddly enough, I was pals with his boyfriend before they even met or started dating,” he said. “So, I’ve known both Fraser and his current partner individually. I reckon they’re perfect for each other. They’re a cheeky pair, well-matched.”
Now, about Ben’s season 11 boatmances, he confessed to having a thing for ladies from both the interior and deck teams. “It wouldn’t be me if there wasn’t a boatmance or two,” he quipped. “When I stepped on board this season, I was feeling pretty confident. I thought, ‘I might be the head deck here, so I’m getting some attention from the ladies early on.’”
He added, “I’ve never had a work romance with someone in the same department, so that’s a new challenge for me. It’s uncharted territory, so I have to find my way.”
Tune in to see the romances unfold when Below Deck airs again on Monday, Feb. 5, at 9 p.m. on Bravo. And don’t stop reading to look back at the most unforgettable guests in Below Deck history.
