New South Wales’ Hunter Valley may have been the backdrop for Locky Gilbert professing his love for Irena Srbinovska in The Bachelor finale last week, but the reality TV couple aren’t the only people who have a special fondness for the location.

While runner-up Bella Varelis likely never wants to see the place again after being brutally dumped, it’s a completely different story for the show’s host Osher Gunsberg.
In late 2016, Osher and his wife Audrey Griffen tied the knot in the Hunter Valley in a three-day country wedding – a fact the TV host revealed to his fans by tweeting, “FYI this location is where Audrey and I got married.”
When one follower questioned whether the couple celebrated their honeymoon on Heron Island, Osher responded “I proposed on Heron Island.”
At Osher and Audrey’s romantic ceremony, the TV presenter pledged his love to the make-up artist – who he met behind the scenes while they were both working on The Bachelor – and her then 12-year-old daughter Georgia.
“It’s great. I’m just really, really happy, and I’m so lucky,” Osher told New Idea in the exclusive coverage of the nuptials at the time.
“I wrote some vows to Georgia as well as Audrey, because that’s the deal,” smiled the former Australian Idol host, once known as Andrew G.
“I’m not entering into a relationship with one person, I’m entering into a relationship with two!”
Around 200 guests, including The Bachelor couples Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski as well as Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich, attended the secret ceremony and were treated to a pre-wedding picnic, cricket match, swim and Fijian dinner at Wollombi Barnstay.
Since tying the knot, Osher and Audrey have gone on to welcome a son, named Wolfgang in August last year.
Meanwhile, this year’s Bachelor Locky and his chosen woman Irena have embarked on a road trip to Perth to start their new life together after finding love on the show.
