1. "Locky wasn’t their first choice." Apparently Locky was actually the "Plan C Bachelor".

Locky Gilbert is the man handing out roses on this season ofThe Bachelor.

But apparently the formerAustralian Survivorstar wasn't Channel 10's first choice. In fact, according to the So Dramatic! podcast, he was actually... third.

"Locky has actually one-upped [Plan B Bachelorettes Elly and Becky Miles] because it turns out he is our Plan C Bachelor," host Megan Pustetto said.

"I am told from a very reliable Channel 10 source that Locky wasn’t their first choice. In fact, he wasn’t even their second choice, he was their third choice – aka their last resort because they had no one else and he was basically chucked into the role at the 11th hour."

According to the source, it was a struggle to try to find someone to fill the role.

"They had a number of hiccups and the first two contestants that were chosen both pulled out at the last minute," she added.

Just last week, Sharna Burgess announced she was also offered the role ofThe Bachelorettebut decided to turn it down. Elly Miles and her sister Becky have now landed the gig.

"It didn’t feel like it lined up right, but who’s to say that that next year it won’t? If I’m still 36 and single next year, I’ll be callingThe Bachelorlike, 'Okay, let’s do this! I need some help,'" she told theBig Demi Energypodcast.

The Bachelor continues Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel 10.

2. POTENTIAL SPOILERS INCOMING. A bunch of alleged Masked Singer contestants have been leaked.

We're only the second week into The Masked Singer and a bunch of spoilers have already been leaked. And yes, we are listening.

According to the So Dramatic! podcast, Julia Morris, Grant Denyer, Katie Noonan and Sophie Monk are all hiding under the masks.

The podcast also correctly guessed Christine Anu as the goldfish before Monday’s episode ofThe Masked Singerwent live. So either their intel is pretty good or they made a really lucky guess.

So far, fans have guessed Julia Morris as the celebrity hiding behind either the Dragonfly, Queen or Kitten mask. But we're already 100 per cent confident that Sophie Monk is the Dragonfly and Kate Miller-Heidke is the Queen.

Grant Denyer has also been suspected to be the Puppet. Meanwhile, Katie Noonan is suspected to either be the Sloth or the Queen.

The Masked Singer continues tonight at 7:30pm on Channel 10.

Yesterday, theBachelor in Paradisestar uploaded a photo of himself and Jess, alongside a smaller photo of the two of them on the reality TV show.

The caption wrote, "What. A. Week. Actually, what a year!

"Life works in swings and roundabouts. Who would have thought after the infamous dust-up of 2019 (top left) we would still be friends over 12 months later.

"@jess_glasgow, thank you for taking me into your home and showing me what life in Noosa has to offer. I don’t say this lightly: it has been one of the best weeks of my life.

"From surfboard factories to national parks walks and riverside bike rides you filled up each day, and from Mexican restaurants to ocean-front dining you showed me how to celebrate each night.

"Mate, you are a salt of the earth and I’m a better man for having your friendship. Now, get back to work to finance the week of leisure we just had!"
