One month has passed since Locky Gilbert dumped Bella Varelis on The Bachelor final,. however, in hindsight the runner-up says she is aware that she “dodged a massive bullet”.

During a candid YouTube Q&A this week, the 25-year-old told her fans that she is currently single, and would never take the Survivor star back given the opportunity.

“I’m actually really grateful Locky dumped me … and I’m just really excited for life,” she said.

“At the end of the day, I absolutely loved Locky and I really could see a future with him. Every relationship and every person that comes into your life is a lesson and Locky was just a big lesson for me.”

Bella claims she 'dodged a bullet' with Locky

Bella, who is a marketing manager, clarified that she is definitely single.

“Guys suck. I want to focus on myself at the moment.”

Bella revealed during the video that she would have rejected Locky at the finale, claiming that she couldn’t date somebody who was in love with two people at once.

Leading up to the dramatic finale, Locky, 30, expressed that he was in love with both Irena Srbinovska and Bella.

Despite Bella’s shady remarks, she did say that she was extremely happy for Locky and Irena.

“I’m happy for them both and I wish them the best, but I know this just wasn’t supposed to be my happily every after,” she said.

Locky and Irena, 31, moved to Locky’s hometown of Perth earlier this month.

Locky and Irena have been making the most of quarantine together

Since the move, the pair have had to isolate together in hotel quarantine, which will go for two weeks … which is the real test of their relationship to be honest!

However, they have kept themselves busy, making the most of the quality time they get to spend together.

Recently, they had a ‘date night’ together, where Irena actually sparked engagement rumours.
