Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins was slammed for not choosing anyone in the finale of the 2018 season of the reality dating program, but it seems upcoming The Bachelor Locky Gilbert is having trouble picking just one girl.
Sunday Confidential has heard whispers on the set of the Channel 10 reality show that the former Survivor contestant has hooked up with one too many contestants and had to be given a “talking to” by producers, who suggested he considered toning it down a bit.
A source, who did not wish to be named, has seen all the potential suitors and wasn’t surprised by Gilbert’s enthusiasm.
“No one is shocked by Locky being so keen,” they said.
“The girls this year are smoking hot.”
Another woman, who spent time with him in a social situation recently, added: “This does not surprise me at all. You could tell he was quite the ladies man when I spent time with him.”
And since returning home to Perth when production halted on the program, Gilbert has also been seen spending time with Married At First Sight’s Aleks Markovic, accidentally appearing in the background of Aleks’ Instagram Live interview with boxer and socialite Kyron Dryden.

One would think Gilbert’s ex-girlfriend Brooke Jowett would not be astonished by the rumours, with the former Survivor contestant having claimed to be blindsided by the announcement the 30-year-old had signed on to the show.
At the time, she hit out at him on social media, implying she thought she and Gilbert would explore their relationship and had even planned a trip to Bali.
“My side of our story,” she wrote.
“Yes, I’m hurt and a little blindsided (excuse the pun) but I wish the best for Locky, I always will.
“I guess we had different things planned in our heads for what was to come over the next few months but you can’t be mad at someone for doing what they feel is best for them, even if it does sting a little.”
Production on The Bachelor in Oxford Falls halted in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it is believed filming will begin again in the coming weeks.
Channel 10 head of entertainment Stephen Tate said at the time that Gilbert would continue to have “virtual dates” with the women in lockdown.
KERR SENIOR CHIMES IN ON ‘DREADFUL DIGS’
Turns out Sharon Bingle wasn’t the only model mum put out by the “dreadful” and “unacceptable” accommodation they were allocated after jetting into the country amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Miranda Kerr’s mother Therese Kerr was made to isolate at the TraveLodge last month after returning home from a trip to the US where she visited her daughter.
When asked by an Instagram follower about her experience, she had similar gripes as Lara Bingle’s mum Sharon.
“I would recommend you do not fly back to Sydney … instead fly to Melbourne because the Sydney accommodation is dreadful,” Mrs Kerr wrote on Instagram this week.
“Honestly … you’re not allowed out of the room the windows do not open so you don’t get any fresh air and sunshine, and there isn’t a balcony … I would recommend you order food items for yourself because the food is atrocious … you don’t have anything to cook with only a microwave and I personally don’t use microwave.”
The quality of the isolation accommodation provided to travellers has been a contentious issue. Bingle’s mum shared Instagram stories showing what food she was offered and a recorded message saying she should be in hospital.
“Here I am in this godforsaken hotel,” Mrs Bingle said while wearing a face mask. “I need to be in hospital.”
