The Bachelor’s Zoe-Clare shares a positive message to the remaining girls

She was sent home on Wednesday night’s episode of The Bachelor after failing to win Locky Gilbert’s heart. 

But on Thursday, Zoe-Clare McDonald sent a positive message to the remaining girls in the Bachie Mansion. 

Posting to Instagram, the 23-year-old explained that she had found some great ‘mates’ on the show and she wished the girls ‘love and happiness’.  

‘To all the amazing girls I now get to call some of my best mates, I’m so grateful we were all chosen to go through this experience together,’ she wrote. 

‘I wish nothing but love and happiness to all the women left in the running for Locky’s heart!’ 

Accompanying the post was a stunning selfie of the redheaded beauty. 

She flaunted her natural good looks with minimal makeup and appeared to have a filter on the photo.  

Zoe-Clare was sent home halfway through Wednesday’s episode, alongside fellow hopeful Clare Lange, 26 in a rose ceremony. 

But, the Queensland native appears to have taken it in her stride adding a cheeky comment about Locky to the caption on her post. 

‘Well after all my ‘snack’ references I realised Locky wasn’t going to be my last meal,’ she wrote. 

‘Cheers for all the support and love that’s been thrown my way, It hasn’t gone unnoticed,’ she added.  

 The Bachelor continues Thursday at 7.30pm on Channel Ten
