As a result of the coronavirus, filming for many reality shows have had to be temporarily halted – including The Bachelor.
But now it appears production for the hit dating show is back on and leading man Locky Gilbert will be dating like no other Bachelor has before.
Brisbane radio host Matty Acton revealed on his breakfast show Stav, Abby and Matt that a friend of his is working from home and saw a date for the show being filmed, but not in the way you would expect.
“My mate texted me yesterday and said ‘You would’ve had a field day yesterday. In the back yard of my neighbour there was, on a picnic rug, a girl on a laptop with a TV crew.’ They’re filming and she was on a date with the Bachelor.” Matty explained to his co-hosts.
According to Matty’s source who spied from their balcony, all the girls were on the Zoom group date with Locky.
“This date in classic Bachelor style involved dress-up. Apparently all the girls had to wear onesies,” Matty added.
Matty’s friend then revealed that his neighbour sounded great on the date and really lovely but when the laptop closed, she turned on the producers saying how embarrassing it was to be on the date in a onesie.
To make matters even more awkward, the girl Matty’s neighbour overheard was dressed in a dog onesie and Locky had asked her to perform dog tricks.
Matty’s friend also said that Bachelor Locky “likes the sound of his own voice.”
“Apparently he talked a lot throughout the date,” Matty added.
This news follows a juicy revelation from Sunday Confidential by an anonymous source who spilled that former Survivor star Locky has hooked up with a fair few of the contestants already.
What’s more, the professional adventure guide had to be given a “talking to” by producers, who suggested he think about toning it down a bit.
“No one is shocked by Locky being so keen,” the source told the publication.
Channel Ten’s head of entertainment Stephen Tate had previously revealed that Locky would continue to have “virtual dates” with the women in lockdown whilst restrictions are still in place.
“We are on hiatus. I don’t know what’s going to happen… and I don’t think they [the producers] do either,” host Osher Gunsberg told journalists Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald on their Shameless podcast in April.
“People who are far more clever than I are trying to figure out what we’re going to do.”
