Nicole Campbell has a new boyfriend after being brutally dumped via Zoom on The Bachelor 

Nicole Campbell fought back tears when she was brutally dumped by Bachelor Locklan ‘Locky’ Gilbert over Zoom on Wednesday night’s episode.

But the professional dancer, 26, can confirm she’s far from heartbroken now.

Appearing on KIIS FM’s Kyle And Jackie O Show on Thursday, Nicole confessed: ‘I actually met someone not too long after finishing filming.’

Nicole said she and her new partner were required to keep their romance a secret until her dumping had officially aired on TV. 

While she chose not to disclose the mystery man’s identity, she joked that while he has avoided watching The Bachelor, he’s been incredibly supportive of her.

Nicole, who got the triple threat rose in the premiere of the season, said her intense feelings toward Locky begun to fade once the cast were forced to leave the mansion due to the outbreak of coronavirus. 

‘What people don’t know is there was a massive period of time in between leaving the mansion and commencing the ‘Love In Lockdown’ virtual dating,’ she said.

Nicole said due to the time spent apart, she and Locky ‘fizzled out’.

‘When we got back to filming “Love In lockdown”, I was just like *groans* I don’t think it’s there,’ she admitted. 

‘As soon as you stop filming in the mansion, and as soon as you’re out of the bubble, it snaps you back into reality. Yeah he was cool, but nah.’

Her sister Maddy, who appeared in Wednesday’s ‘Love In Lockdown’ episode to meet and interrogate Locky, commented on her sister’s dumping via Instagram Story.

‘Always was and always will be too good for this show,’ she wrote.  

The Bachelor continues on Thursday from 7:30pm on Channel 10
