The Bachelor SPOILER: The very telling clue that ‘proves’ who wins Locky Gilbert’s heart… and who will be left heartbroken

There is now little doubt that Irena Srbinovska wins Locky Gilbert’s heart on The Bachelor, after the pair shared intense chemistry on Wednesday’s episode.

The 31-year-old nurse’s Sportsbet odds were slashed again overnight – from $1.60 to $1.50 – while those of her closest rival Bella Varelis lengthened from $2.85 to $3.25.

As previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have shown, betting odds are rarely wrong when it comes to predicting the winner.

The latest figures, which are either the result of insider knowledge or an influx of bets for Irena, all but confirm that she takes the crown.

As the odds continue to swing in Irena’s favour with each passing episode, it is looking more likely that Bella will be the heartbroken runner-up.

Interestingly, before The Bachelor premiere on August 12, she and Irena had been TAB’s joint favourites to win, with odds of $2.50 each.

It wasn’t until after the first episodes went to air that Irena emerged as the clear favourite and Bella’s odds started to lengthen.

It comes after Locky, 31, enjoyed a romantic date with Irena on Wednesday’s episode of The Bachelor.

The pair went fencing together, and the former Australian Survivor star was pleasantly surprised by Irena’s competitive streak.

They later kissed under the moonlight, after getting close while opening a bottle of champagne with a ceremonial sabre.

Locky told Irena that she makes him ‘feel so good’ when they’re together, and she replied: ‘Yeah, it’s strange, because I feel the same way.’

Irena then asked Locky if he was open to having children, and he responded: ‘I love kids, absolutely love kids. Being a dad would be so much fun.’

He added: ‘It’s so crazy how quick I’ve gained feelings for you. Every time I look at you, I just feel so good.’
