Bachelor producers give Locklan ‘Locky’ Gilbert a ‘talking to’ after Survivor star was hooking-up with too many girls on the series… as a recent post hints he may not have found love
Bachelor Locklan ‘Locky’ Gilbert has apparently been eyeing off many of the female contestants on the upcoming series.
According to a report in Confidential on Sunday, the 30-year-old has been hooking-up with many of the stars, with producers giving him a ‘talking to’ to tone it down.
‘No one is shocked by Locky being so keen,’ an insider told the publication.

The source added that all of the female contestants this season are very attractive: ‘The girls this year are smoking hot.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel 10 for comment.
The whispers come after Locky raised eyebrows with a Mother’s Day post earlier this month, that appeared to prove he hasn’t found love on the show.
Locky shared a photo of flowers he had purchased for his mother: ‘There is only one woman special enough for this amount of flowers.’

In earlier reports, he was seen enjoying the company of former Married At First Sight bride, Aleks Markovic. He went on to say the pair were just friends.
The Survivor star famously ‘blindsided’ his ex-girlfriend Brooke Jowett, who said she was ‘hurt’ when finding out about his new role through Channel 10’s official announcement in March.
He was also previously linked to Love Island Australia star Jordan Cayless.
Despite ’employing extra precautions’ amid the coronavirus pandemic, Channel 10 and Warner Brothers decided to halt production of The Bachelor back in March.

The network said the decision came after considering all other available options and revealed plans to resume filming as soon as it is deemed safe.
Filming Locky’s season began in early March. It’s unclear what measures were put in place to reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus.
Photos taken during filming saw Locky on a number of group dates and single dates.

At one point, the cast went into self-isolation and filmed ‘virtual dates’ over Zoom, but it’s unclear how long this continued for.
The wider narrative of the coronavirus pandemic will ‘form part of the story’ of The Bachelor’s eighth season.
A premiere date is yet to be announced.
