There’s production shut down due to coronavirus restrictions, wild dates both in real life and via video call and one huge cat fight.

WATCH: The first teaser for The Bachelor ‘love in lockdown’ is here.

After the show was shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions, anticipation was high amongst fans who awaited a new-look season.

“The outside world brings everything to a halt,” host Osher Gunsberg says before telling Locky: “We have to stop production, we can’t keep everybody safe.”

Cue the Xoom dates…and animal-themed onesies.

From group dates dressed up on the couch, to wearing nothing at all in a steamy bubble bath video call, it looks like love in lockdown isn’t all bad for Locky.

But while Locky is making the most of his time with the ladies, no matter the circumstance, tensions are rising in the mansion.

While we’re accustomed to a few clashes between women, this season appears to be one of the most dramatic yet.

“If she rocks up to the cocktail party, I will lose my sh*t,” Laura says, before Areeba storms out of a cocktail party saying: “If you betray me, you’ll wish you never did.”

Cut to another woman dressed in a dazzling gold dress who tells another to “shut up” before storming out screaming: “You are trash, you are trash, you are trash. That’s it. Your fake hair, your fake lashes, your fake tits.”

Woah.
