Fanny flutters and a penguin: Meet the outrageous girls of The Bachelor

The Bachelor’s Locklan ‘Locky’ Gilbert journey to find love got off to a dramatic start as he met his stunning line-up of ladies.

On Wednesday night’s premiere episode, the former Australian Survivor star, 30, was spoilt for choice as he met a bevvy of flirtatious beauties who pulled out the stops to impress him.  

Earlier in the night, Locky couldn’t contain his nerves as he told host Osher Günsberg: ‘Hopefully tonight I’ll meet the girl I want to marry.’

And the hunk was spoilt for choice when fiery red-head Zoe-Clare admitted he gave her ‘fanny flutters’, Rosemary arrived in a penguin suit and stunning Leilani  jokingly asked him if he wanted to ‘get Lei’d.’  

Things kicked off with stunning Steph, who immediately enjoyed a playful debate on how spicy they like their burritos. 

Locky’s spice levels were put to the test as next contestant Izzy forced him to eat a chilli for her. 

It was then time for professional dancer Nicole who looked incredible in a glamorous outfit as she asked Locky to do a dance with her.

‘I suck at dancing,’ Locky said, adding: I’m this big goofy guy!’ However, he proved himself wrong as partook in a sweet little dance with Nicole.

He then told the camera: ‘There was something about her. I felt warm with her’ 

Addressing her job as a nurse, Locky cheekily admitted: ‘She did get my pulse racing.’   

 

Fiery: Things took a dramatic turn as contestant Areeba exited the car. She confidently declared: 'I'm a boss at work, boss at home, and a boss in a relationship.'

Areeba continued: ‘I don’t let anyone get in my way. I’m competitive, and my game is to win the guy and get the rose . I don’t play games unless I know i’m going to win!’

‘I tend to do whatever I want. I’m fun bossy, and everything you dream off,’ she continued – while also executing the same assertive behaviour during her meeting with Locky.

Things loosened up as Rosemary arrived in a playful penguin costume. 

However, things took a fiery turn yet again Zoe-Clare declared: ‘I’m loud, blunt and a fiery red-head!

‘These girls in this house, I think they’re going to realise very quickly that I’m not going to stand for much. I will be calling people out on their rubbish. 

‘Don’t interrupt me when I’m having a conversation. Don’t come at me for no reason!’

Pricey: Contestant Laura didn't appear to get on Locky's good side as she said: ' I am a snob. I quite enjoy, you know, like, the Louis Vuitton handbag, nice Chanel earrings, like, a Porsche Cayenne Turbo.'

She confidently asked the hunk: ‘When we’re together, how much will you spend on my birthday present?’

Taken off-guard Locky explained: ‘I’m not massive on spending a heap of money on something.

‘I like more doing a gesture or going out on in nature.’
