Bachelor reject Nadine Kodsi makes extraordinary claims Locky Gilbert is ‘fed lines like a puppet’ via an earpiece while filming
Nadine Kodsi has made extraordinary claims about The Bachelor’s production after Locklan ‘Locky’ Gilbert sent her packing on day one.
The entrepreneur claimed she felt Locky was disingenuous on the red carpet and accused him of being a ‘production puppet’.
She told a podcast last week that Locky wore an earpiece on the show and was fed lines and conversation starters by producers during filming.

‘Locky is a puppet… I saw that from the first five minutes,’ Nadine, 30, said.
Nadine went on to claim her red carpet introduction was cut short from the premiere due to her astute production observations.
She recalled hearing production say to Locky via an earpiece to ‘tell her she’s beautiful, ask her what does she do, how does she feel’.

‘I actually said to him, “can you not speak for yourself?”‘ Nadine said she found the sound of the the production voices ‘extremely distracting’ when trying to form a genuine connection
Nadine said she found it ‘extremely distracting’ and immediately queried Locky on the purpose of the earpiece: ‘I actually said to him, “can you not speak for yourself? Do you have to listen to what they’re saying to you?”‘
She claimed Locky played dumb, before producers stepped in and asked for the duo to film the scene again.
‘They were like, “Nadine, you can’t talk about production, do it again!”‘ she said, insisting a lot of the reality TV show is ‘rehearsed’.
Interestingly, in one part of the aired episode Locky was seen with what appeared to be an ear piece in his left ear.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel 10 for comment.
