WATCH: Locky says he’d consider being the next Bachelor

The Perth-born adventure tour guide, 30, who first appeared on Survivor in 2017, is currently in a romance-showmance with fellow campmate, Melbourne-based personal trainer, Brooke Jowett.

Brooke told a local publication earlier today that “distance” was an issue for the pair and that they both identify as “single”.

But she added: “It’s still on the cards. We haven’t completely written it off, it’s just very complicated with the distance. It’s such an obstacle.”

It comes after Locky said he would consider The Bachelor role if offered to him as it took part in a parody version of The Bachelor in early February.

Aaron ‘AK’ Knight took on the role of Bachie host, Osher Gunsberg when single ladies Daisy Richardson, Phoebe Timmins and Brooke asked him to help them find Locky a match.

“Like, I don’t know…I can’t… I’m like, this is bad. It’s not ‘The Bachelor On Survivor’,” a nervous Locky said to camera.

Doing his best Osher impression, AK said: “Ladies. Locky … We’ve had a fantastic 25 days. But, unfortunately, tonight the experience will end for one of you.”

Playing along, Locky said to the group of women: “So it’s been a long time. I’ve actually had so much fun with all of you. So I’m gonna give you…” he said, as he handed each of the ladies a single palm leaf.

A source told New Idea last month: “Locky only went on the show to pick up chicks and make his ex-girlfriend, Love Island star, Jordan Cayless jealous … He hated the fact that she went on Love Island just weeks after they broke up and thought he would go on Survivor and make sure he hooked up with someone just to get back at her.”

Meanwhile, on Tuesday’s episode of Survivor All-Star Moana sent a very loud Locky to the jury.

He was the first jury member after the two tribes merged and was sure Sharn would be sent packing, but instead, he was blindsided by some of his own.

“I did not see that coming,” he told viewers after his torch was extinguished.
