When the lovestruck hopefuls packed their bags and left the Bachelor mansion due to the coronavirus lock down earlier this year, they held onto every hope they’d return to fight for Locky Gilbert’s love.
But speaking to Woman’s Day, a close source reveals the handsome Survivor star, 30, almost threw away the entire show after a boozy night in his home town of Perth left the girls reeling!
Locky’s wild night out in Perth is about to cause chaos on the show.
(Image: Ten)Attending a party and getting wild with a bevy of women, including Married At First Sight star Aleks Markovic in May, Locky’s wandering eye and loose lips are said to have almost derailed the show.
“He had seven girls in the running when he left and he mentioned on numerous occasions he wasn’t into any of them!” dishes our source.
“He openly said he was going through the motions of filming and going on Zoom dates to appease producers,” the source reveals.
Things are said to have become so loose the girls were left fuming on set when they found out about Locky’s antics.
The frontrunners felt nothing short of “betrayed”.
“Locky admitted he didn’t know if the show would resume filming, he tried to assure the girls it was nothing and that he genuinely thought the show was over,” spills the source, who says his attitude “leaves a lot to be desired”.
Locky had his eyes on Aleks from Married at First Sight!
(Image: Instagram)Since being announced as Australia’s Bachelor in March, Locky has been met with rumours he entered the show for the wrong reasons – most notably when his Survivor co-star Brooke Jowett said she was “blindsided” when she heard the news about his new gig just days after they’d planned a romantic trip to Bali together.
With rumours that he kissed multiple girls on set, even Locky admits he’s ”a lovable dude, I like being physical, I like getting to know people”.
Our source adds: “The thing is with Locky – he’s just a bit of fun. I don’t think he knows what he wants and I definitely don’t see him settling down with anyone.”

(Image: Instagram)Paige made headlines last week for her “wild” night out with Shane Warne!
But speaking to Woman’s Day, she sets the record straight on their rumoured fling.
“I’ve known Shane for a while and was invited to his New Year’s Eve party… it was definitely a wild night!” laughs the Victorian-based beauty, 31.
“Shane’s a great host – he makes sure everyone’s enjoying themselves.”
While admitting the pair are still in touch, she says she’s not romantically interested.
“I’m not sure Shane’s backyard is big enough to house my pet pig,” she joked.
