Country singer Chase Rice is not happy with what happened this week on 'The Bachelor'. He came face to face with his ex, Victoria Fuller, after Peter Weber unknowingly took her to a private concert to see Chase. Needless to mention, it was a super awkward date.

"I was pissed. I was really p***ed off to be honest," Rice told Fritz in the Morning, "I was just going there to try and promote 'Lonely If You Are', and 'Eyes On You'. If there's anything I've ever wanted, it's to have nothing to do with the drama of that show. I know her, we spent a night together in Charlotte. She's a cool chick from what I know of her. I got no problem with her, I got no problem with him. I knew she was going on the show."

The date involved Chase singing love songs for the couple as they danced. However, Peter never knew about their past. It was only much later during dinner that Victoria told Pete that she and Chase had dated at some point.

Chase, however, said he had no idea that it was going to be his ex's date he would be playing at. "I was still pretty surprised. I told my manager and my publicist, and they were like 'Don't even worry about that. They're not going to do that to you, that's a weird coincidence but they're not going to, there's no way they're going to do that to you'," he said.

"The fact that they did that to me, it's over the top. It's unnecessary," Chase said, "I didn't expect it, but at the end of the day it happened. I don't know if it's the producers, or if they just got lucky as hell. I know what I think, but I'll let everybody figure out what they think."
