1. “She was devastated.” There are whispers Locky Gilbert dumped his GF to go onThe Bachelor.

Ever since Locky Gilbert was announced as our nextBachelor, there’s beena lotof talk about his not-so past relationships.

And now there’s a new rumour doing the rounds that Locky dumped Charlie Octavia so he could go on the dating show.

You see, an inside source supposedly told Woman’s Day, that Locky broke up with Charlie just days before he went into lockdown for filming.

“She was devastated! Getting dumped by any means is horrible, but finding out he’sThe Bachelor… it was a big blow to her,” the source claims.

“She was absolutely smitten with him – they shared a really special bond… she thought he was The One.”

Well. That’s… a little awkward.

And apparently Charlie isn’t the only who was surprised by Locky’s decision to be the

Bachelor.

Locky’s

Australian Survivor

co-star, Brooke Jowett, shared in an Instagram post that she had been “blindsided” by Locky’s new reality TV venture.

“Yes, I’m hurt and a little blindsided (excuse the pun) but I wish the best for Locky, I always will. (Secretly I hope he stacks it and splits his pants on day one),” she wrote on Instagram.

“I guess we had different things planned in our heads for what was to come over the next few months but you can’t be mad at someone for doing what they feel is best for them, even if it does sting a little.”

She also hinted that the pair had planned a trip to Bali, but assured fans that there were no hard feelings on her side.

It looks like Locky may have a bit of explaining to do.

2. Oh. People are upset at Charlotte Crosby for supplying face masks at a bachelorette party and ‘mocking’ COVID-19.

I’m a Celebstar Charlotte Crosby has posted pictures of her friends wearing “Bali b****es” face masks at a bachelorette party before their girls’ trip. And understandably, people aren’t happy about it.

Charlotte was throwing a surprise party for her friend at The Palm in Sunderland and supplied the guests with the personalised black face masks ahead of their Bali holiday.

After posting the photo to Instagram, people immediately started calling her out for mocking the fear around coronavirus.

“When the hen do reveal goes amazing! Best friends forever. Bali b****es,” she captioned the post.

According to The Mirror,Charlotte started deleting negative comments but hasn’t removed the photo.

Yeah… we’re thinking matching party sashes may be the way to go next time.

3. A ‘source’ is sayingMAFS’Aleks was sent texts by Ivan’s friend… and they weren’t exactly welcoming.

Oh.

It looks like there might be trouble in paradise for one ofMarried at First Sight‘s most promising couples, Aleks Markovic and Ivan Sarakula, and it’s not what you’d expect.

According to a Now to Love source, Ivan is less than interested in his relationship with 26-year-old Markovic when the cameras are switched off.

“He was on FaceTime to another girl all throughout filming,” the source said.

“At all hours of the day he was caught up with this close female friend – it’s why he was so obsessed with his phone.”

To be clear, these arerumoursat the moment, we’re still holding out hope for our favourite couple.

4. Everything we learned from Zoë Foster Blake’sNew York Timesinterview.

As if we needed another reason to love Zoë Foster Blake more than we already do.

The New York Timesreleased a profile on the 39-year-old entrepreneur in honour of International Women’s Day and it is very inspiring.

Zoe moved to Sydney when she was 17 to pursue a degree in Media and Communications, before entering “the glory days of magazines.”

Although, creating her own skincare line was never a part of her plan.

“I’d never thought I’d start a business,” she said, referring to her brand, Go-To.

” I thought there was a huge gap in skincare for just something simple. It was legacy bands or really clinical brands or supermarket brands. I just wanted it to be simple and uncomplicated, clean, trustworthy products that you wouldn’t be wasting money on and would know which ingredients actually worked.”
