Irena Srbinovska’s heart breaks on The Bachelor

‘All of Australia is crying right now!’ Irena Srbinovska’s heart breaks on The Bachelor after love rival Bella Varelis receives a rose from Locky Gilbert

The Bachelor’s Bella Varelis put on a confident performance at Thursday night’s cocktail party after receiving a rose from Locky Gilbert on their single date.

And it didn’t take long before Irena Srbinovska found herself overwhelmed with emotion, as she fled the scene and broke down in tears.

When the 31-year-old revealed her fears that Locky was ‘slipping away’ from her, hearts around the country broke for the mild-mannered nurse.

‘All of Australia is crying right now, Irena my heart breaks!’ one concerned viewer wrote on Twitter. 

Another tweeted: ‘Just want to give Irena a hug right now.’

Several viewers thought Locky wasn’t good enough for Irena – who is a frontline healthcare worker during the COVID-19 pandemic – and wanted the world to know it.

‘Irena doesn’t need Locky, she’s too good for him. So Bella can have him honestly,’ wrote one viewer. 

Another tweeted: ‘Irena is the epitome of grace. She’s too good for Locky, but I’d hate to see her heart broken.’ 

A third fan commented: ‘I’m team Irena, find another man because Locky AIN’T it!’ 

Later on Thursday’s episode, Kaitlyn Hoppe was sent home after failing to receive a rose from the former Australian Survivor star.
