The Bachelor spoiler: Locky Gilbert’s winner is ‘LEAKED by a production insider’ just days before the season premiere

Has the The Bachelor 2020 winner been leaked just days before Locky GIlbert’s season premiere? 

TAB’s latest betting odds certainly suggest so.

As of Tuesday morning, the bookmaker has nurse Irena Srbinovsk, 31, and media  marketer Bella Varelis, 25, as joint favourites to win Locky’s heart.

Both Irena and Bella have odds of $2.50 – less than half that of aspiring actress Marlaina McPhillips – who at $6 is the only other contestant in single figures. 

Irena and Bella’s extremely short odds suggest some degree of insider knowledge that one of these two women wins. 

The Bachelor is filmed in advance and there are plenty of people – including the cast, crew and publicists – who know the outcome.

Strong contender: Sportsbet has Marlaina McPhillips, 31, (pictured) as the open favourite to win with odds of $3.50. However, bookmaker TAB has her at second place - behind equal winners Bella and Irena

It’s possible one of these insiders leaked the result, causing a surge in online bets that resulted in Irena and Bella’s odds being slashed significantly. 

Alternatively, somebody close to production may have let slip the ending to a friend, partner or family member, who in turn spread the news.  

Meanwhile, bookmaker Sportsbet has Marlaina, 31, as the opening favourite at $3.50.   

Sportsbet odds place real estate agent Gemma White, 28, (pictured) at second place with odds of $4.50

Locky will debut as The Bachelor on August 12 from 7:30pm on Channel 10.
