Filing of this season’s The Bachelor may be on hold due to the coronavirus lockdown, but that hasn’t stopped Locky Gilbert taking his love life into his own hands.

This year’s Bachie star has been busted getting close to Married At First Sight contestant Aleks Markovic, according to Daily Mail Australia after the reality TV pair met through mutual friends.
The publications report states that Locky accidentally appeared in the background of Aleks’ Instagram Live interview with boxer and socialite Kyron Dryden on Saturday.
The former Australian Survivor star also recently started following Aleks on Instagram.
However, according to Aleks, the pair are just good friends.
‘I was with Locky on Saturday night. He’s a friend of a friend, super nice guy,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
She also confirmed he had been with her when she filmed her Instagram Live at a friend’s house over the weekend.
The news comes after The Bachelor host Osher Gunsberg stunned fans by admitting that the popular series may be off our screens for a long time, after production was forced to a standstill following coronavirus lockdown laws being implemented in March.
‘We are on hiatus. I don’t know what’s going to happen… and I don’t think they [the producers] do either,’ Osher explained on the Shameless podcast earlier this week.
When asked what his plans had been for 2020 before ‘everything went to s**t’, Osher, 46, revealed he’d expected to spend several months working on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
However it is uncertain when either productions will resume filming due to the current global climate.
While Osher admitted that he had been excited to help Locky find love, and that the Bachelor franchise had employed many people who are now out of work, the health and safety of all crew involved comes first.
At the end of the day, I couldn’t give a s**t [about money]. I’d go live in a caravan. I’ll be able to make enough money again eventually,’ he said.
‘But I can’t buy my kids new lungs, and if one of them were to die, I can’t buy that. The economic argument goes out the window.’
