Rumoured Bachelor winner Holly Kingston is actually an actress

She’s rumoured to win Bachelor Jimmy Nicholson’s heart, but it’s been revealed that Holly Kingston is actually an actress.

In addition to securing the first ‘date’ during Wednesday’s premiere episode, Holly’s profile on IMDb – an online database for people in the entertainment industry – was revealed.

According to IMDb, the 27-year-old is an ‘actress’, despite her career being listed as ‘marketing manager’ on the show.

In addition to acting, Holly has also worked as an ambassador for charity Weave Youth & Community Services, where she was also listed as an ‘actress’.

After arriving at The Bachelor mansion, Holly swiftly pulled Jimmy, 31, aside, convincing him to take a ‘breather’. 

‘I feel like this is a crazy night for you. What are your thoughts on taking a little breather?’ she coyly asked him.

She then lured him away to ‘a good little wine bar’, leaving the airline pilot momentarily stunned.

‘Having this little sit down with Holly over a glass of wine, I’m just feeling really relaxed. It’s flirty, it’s fun. This feels like a real first date,’ he reflected. 

Acknowledging their spark, Holly added: ‘He’s so lovely and just makes you feel so comfortable… Oh, he’s nice. I like him.’  

Betting odds suggest the outcome of The Bachelor may have been leaked, leading to speculation there could be an internal mole hunt to find the alleged culprit.

Online bookmakers are already tipping one contestant to win with very short odds – which suggests a degree of insider knowledge.

As of Wednesday morning, precisely 12 hours before the season launch, Holly had odds of $1.95 on Sportsbet and just $1.15 on TAB.

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

It’s possible one of these insiders leaked the result, causing a surge in online bets.

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

What’s more, Daily Mail Australia previously reported Jimmy was instantly attracted to Holly after ‘falling for her infectious smile’, citing a production insider.

Numbers game: However, there are several other reasons why Holly may have such short odds. For example, the bookies may have researched her chances of winning based on fan speculation online or by analysing trailers and other publicity material
