As we get down to the nitty-gritty this season on The Bachelor, New Idea‘s on-set spy lifts the lid on what it’s really like living in the Bachie mansion, and shares some never-before-told secrets.

FLIRTING WITH PRODUCERS
Turns out, Locky wasn’t the only handsome singleton on set.
New Idea hears that some of the girls spent more time flirting with the hunky producers rather than the show’s leading man.
“There was a cute assistant on the show that the girls were obsessed with,” the spy dishes.
“They would flirt with him at every opportunity and were talking about how much hotter he was all the time! Some of the girls even found him on social media when they left the mansion and slid into his DMs!”
CASE OF THE EX
Locky’s former flame Jordan Cayless claims the pair were still very much in touch before he was announced as the Bachelor.
She tells us that she and Locky would speak often even after they broke up.
“We did stay in contact a little bit,” Jordan reveals.
“He messaged me in January … and a few weeks later he was named as the Bachelor!”
DIRTY TACTICS
They may all be wanting to find love, but The Bachelor is a competition at the end of the day.
So it comes as no surprise that some of the ladies were getting up to mischief and trying to win Locky over when the others weren’t watching.
“I sent Locky a gift during lockdown that I didn’t tell anyone about,” dishes one of the ladies.
Meanwhile, another contestant tells us that she had secret one-on-one chats with the Bachie.
“He said so many reassuring things to me, especially during lockdown…which I never felt the need to share with any of the other girls.”
NAKED IN THE HOUSE
According to one contestant, the girls would walk freely around the mansion naked! Izzy in particular was nude 99 per cent of the time.
“The girls became really close in the house and felt comfortable around each other, so they ended up just walking around naked most of the time, especially when they were getting ready or had just been spray-tanned. But it was awkward when crew arrived and they were told to cover up.”
FAST FOOD GALORE
One contestant tells us the girls would often do an online food order and could eat whatever they wanted.
“They have supplies for whatever they feel like cooking.”
But once COVID-19 hit, things changed.
“The deliveries were few and far between and we even begged one of the producers to order us Uber Eats.”
RAUNCHY POOL PARTIES
New Idea secured never-before-seen images of Locky and his ladies having an impromptu pool party at the mansion.
“Locky ran through the mansion in his undies while all of us girls were sitting and chatting, and then jumped into the pool,” one of the ladies revealed.
“Without thinking all of us girls ran out and jumped in after him.”
SECRET PHONE CALLS
The Bachelorettes are allowed to make private calls when they are in the mansion, but they were instructed to keep tight-lipped about what happens inside the house.
The Bachelor continues on Wednesday and Thursday nights at 7.30pm on Ten.
