HAS Bachelorette frontrunner Luke McLeod been caught in the act?

The news comes only hours after McLeod confirmed he dated Laura Byrne, winner of The Bachelor.

“We did date for a couple of months, I swear to God it was a complete coincidence,” McLeod told Confidential of the pair both ending up on reality shows.

“She’s an amazing woman, we dated for a couple of months and realised we were better off being really good friends and that’s where things are at now. She’s been so supportive of my journey.”

Curiously, the business consultancy business McLeod runs is called Soul Society, which offers his services as a “soul consultant”, teaching “corporate calmness” and meditation.
