While appearing on the show, Zach revealed a particular tradition that exists on the reality series, The Bachelor, to hosts Ryan and Kelly Ripa, 52.
The 26-year-old explained that, ” in The Bachelor world and [The] Bachelorette world, the hug-jumps are a big deal.”
Following his statement, an excited Kelly declared that she wanted to see Ryan and Zach “demo[nstrate] it.”
A willing Ryan immediately got out of his seat that was beside the 52-year-old and asked the reality star “so what do I do?”
Instructing him, Zach replied: “Kind of like jump and I’ll carry you and then we do this quick little spin [Zach reenacted the spin they were about to do].”
The ex-American Idol host hurried Zach’s explanation, cutting him off to say: “Alright let’s go. Let’s get this over with.”
Gearing Ryan up for his big jump, Zach greeted him as if they were just meeting.
Zach said, “so good to see you Ryan,” right before the smiling ABC personality leaped into his arms, straddled him and hugged him, holding on as Zach twirled.
