During an interview with The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Friday, the 25-year-old Bachelor runner-up confessed the shock advice her mum gave her after her heartbreaking split with Locky.
‘My mum actually did say to me, she was like, “The way to get over someone is to get under someone else.” And I was like, “Mum! You shouldn’t be saying that to me!”‘ Bella revealed.

She said she watched the emotional episode with her mum by her side, and revealed they ‘had a bit of a sleepover’.
‘It was really sweet! So, I didn’t wake up with a boy, I woke up with my mum. Not how I planned it,’ she added.
Bella admitted she was shocked that Locky didn’t choose her, and said their relationship was filled with ‘passion’ and they had an ‘electric connection’.

‘I wasn’t going to sit there and sell myself to him,’ she added, speaking about their split.
‘Looking back last night, I was kind of like, “I deserve someone who knows they want to be with me. I don’t want someone who’s going to question it up until the very last second.”‘
Throughout the show’s climatic finale, Locky repeatedly admitted he was torn between Bella and winner Irena Srbinovska, telling both women he loved them.
