The Bachelor’s Locky Gilbert gets hot and heavy with frontrunner Irena Srbinovska during a steamy date

Irena Srbinovska is one of the frontrunners to win Locky Gilbert’s heart on The Bachelor this season.

And it’s easy to see why Locky is so smitten with the stunning nurse judging by their physical chemistry together.

In photos taken from a romantic date between the pair while filming the show in July, a bikini-clad Irena, 31, straddles the Australian Survivor hunk underneath a waterfall.

Locky, who was shirtless, flaunted his ripped abs and chiselled chest in nothing more than a pair of board shorts.

The couple certainly looked hot and heavy as they embraced each other in the water and kissed passionately.

Filming ended for The Bachelor six weeks ago, and Locky claims he hasn’t been able to see his ladylove since their ‘secret rendezvous’ after the finale.

He told KIIS FM’s Kyle And Jackie ‘O’ show: ‘We had the rendezvous after the show, but because of COVID-19 and being locked up in a house in Perth, we haven’t seen each other yet and it doesn’t look likely to see each other until after the show.’

With Locky based in Perth, it would make it difficult for him to travel between states freely with COVID-19 quarantines, restrictions and rules.

His other rumoured finalist, Bella Varelis, has remained in New South Wales.
