Guess we'd better start setting up contestant threads? @GuardianAngel could we please get a section for the girls?

FIRST PICS: New Bachelor Locky Gilbert gets very hands-on during a romantic date with a mystery brunette on Sydney Harbour as filming gets underway - and she's a dead ringer for his ex

Filming is underway for the new season of The Bachelor.

And on Monday, the man in question, Locky Gilbert, was getting very hands-on with a mystery brunette during a romantic date.

The 30-year-old threw his arms around the delighted lass as they enjoyed time aboard the Sir Thomas Sopwith at Rushcutters Bay on Sydney Harbour.

It appears the pair bonded as they enjoyed a sailing date on what was a sunny Sydney day.

..snipped because WE CAN SEE WHAT THEY'RE WEARING, DM!

The pair seemed to have good chemistry, and hugged heartily on the bow of the ornate boat.

She's a "YouTuber" (of course ) who previously dated Sam J from Georgia's season, apparently.

Her YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGRRscgH6vC_zXzRBvYq65A (with only FOUR uploads?!).

Followed by Lily (interesting).

Who's that girl? Locklan 'Locky' Gilbert's mystery woman on The Bachelor is revealed to be YouTuber Bella Varelis... and she once dated The Bachelorette's Samuel Johnston

Just a day after they were spotted filming scenes for the upcoming season of The Bachelor in Sydney, Locklan 'Locky' Gilbert's mystery woman has been revealed.

The 30-year-old newly appointed Bachelor enjoyed a yacht date with YouTube vlogger Bella Varelis on Monday.

Far too over-exposed to be F1 IMO (unless there are Carlin-style shenanigans going on)

@GuardianAngel could you please set up a contestants section for us?  TYIA

Honestly, she seems like a perfect default F1 if he’s not feeling it with anyone.

I've been watching the SM numbers of out known girls. Bella's post count is the same and she has LOST ~200 followers (probably because she stopped posting).

She also recently started following 6 accounts. That makes me think TPTB may have relaxed the SM rules to facilitate social connectivity during physical isolation.

They're pushing Bella really hard and focusing on his reaction to seeing her. F2 or F3 IMO.
