A new report claims that The Bachelor Australia mansion could be a “breeding ground for coronavirus”.
The Daily Mail reports that the new season is being filmed with Australian Survivor: All Stars’ Locky Gilbert being announced as this season’s star.

However the publication says production could face issues because of coronavirus fears and the fact that filming takes place in “cramped conditions”.
The U.S. season of The Bachelorette has been postponed because of the fast spreading COVID-19 virus.
“There have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on any of our productions, but the health and safety of our employees, casts and crews remains our top priority,” Warner Bros. revealed on Friday.
Nikki Ferris, a star on the Matt Agnew’s season of the hit reality-TV show, talked to the publication about her concerns.
“You sleep in bunk beds and live in each other’s pockets,’ Nikki said. ‘As you can imagine, 28 women [at the start of the season] sharing four bedrooms and four bathrooms is just asking for a s**t storm.”
“It’s like a hostel. If there was a group date, one person would be on the toilet, another in the shower and another doing makeup all in the same bathroom. We had a cleaner come just once a week”.
Perth-born adventure tour guide Locky, 30, first appeared on Survivor in 2017.
Back in February he said he would consider The Bachelor role if offered to him as it took part in a parody version of The Bachelor.
