What do Harry Styles, Mark Wahlberg, Zac Efron and The Bachelor Locky Gilbert have in common?
They all have a third nipple, of course.
Confidential can reveal Gilbert has what is referenced in medical terms as polymastia, polythelia or a supernumerary nipple, which is basically the presence of multiple nipples.
“I’m a proud member of the Triple Nipple Club,” Gilbert told Confidential. “I’m in good company with the likes of Mark Wahlberg, Harry Styles and Zac Efron.”
Gilbert’s additional appendage has had plenty of screen time already on this season of The Bachelor, most notably when the reality star and romantic hopeful Bella Varelis went on a one-on-one date swimming in Sydney Harbour.
And as a contestant on two seasons of Survivor Australia, wearing very little, his third nipple it had plenty of airtime although eagle eyes have until now not noticed the extra nipple.
It was on a Confidential photo shoot where Gilbert got his shirt off that this scribe noticed the mark.
A supernumerary nipple is a condition occurring in humans and mammals, where nipples (additional to the two normal nipples) appear along the two vertical milk lines that start in the armpit and go down each side of the body to the groin. They can range in different shapes and sizes with some simply appearing as a small blemish and ranging through to a full milk-bearing breast.
Celebrities with third nipples have been well documented, although usually only when they make revelations in interviews.
Men and women have third nipples with other familiar international faces including Lily Allen, Tilda Swinton, Carrie Underwood and Joanna Kruper.
In 2017, Kylie Jenner of the Kardashians fame, was questioned as to whether or not she had a third nipple when fans noted a strange bump on her right knee.
Meanwhile, Bachelor straight talker Areeba Emmanuel has backed nurse Irena Srbinovska to win the series.
Emmanuel all but confirmed Gilbert is not her type while ruling out series favourite Bella Varelis because she is “too obvious”.
“Where is the suspense?” Emmanuel questioned when chatting to Confidential. “In all honesty, if I was making the show and Bella won, I would be like, ‘oh okay’. I think Irena (will win). I think Bella is too obvious, there is way too much connection already. Irena is a sweet girl.”
Home loan officer Emmanuel has been one of the standout contestants in the first few episodes, largely due to a blow up with Queenslander Zoe-Clare McDonald.
The 25-year-old was at the centre of a heated argument when McDonald took umbrage to her interrupting her one-on-one time with Gilbert.
“I will call people on their bullshit. I am not going to hold back at all,” Emmanuel said. “I have no filter and I am not going to apologise as well because this is who I am. I just do me, I don’t care.”
McDonald “took ill” at the end of the episode with some online speculating her outburst was due to drinking too much.
She also complained heavily that the other female contestants didn’t like her because of her red hair.
“Honestly I am not going to comment on whether she was drunk or not,” Emannuel explained.
“It was quite funny. It is funny because not once did anyone mention anything about the colour of her hair so I don’t know where she got that from and what was going on there. It is her own insecurity. We had so many blondes there, and so many brunette’s there and she was the only red head but no one once mentioned her hair.”
