The Bachelor spoiler: The winner of Locky Gilbert’s heart is ‘LEAKED’ after the first two episodes air

The Bachelor‘s Irena Srbinovska and Bella Varelis were ‘leaked’ as the joint favourites to win Locky Gilbert’s heart before the start of the season.

And with only two episodes aired so far, it seems the two horse race is no longer, according TAB’s latest betting odds

As of Friday morning, the bookmaker has nurse Irena, 31, as the clear front runner and likely winner at $1.40.

Irena and Locky shared incredible chemistry during the photo shoot group date on Thursday.

Irena played his girlfriend at a family lunch. 

Meanwhile, media marketer marketer Bella, 25, has been placed as the runner-up by TAB with her odds at $2.25, despite scoring the first single date and first kiss with the thrill-seeking hunk.

Following in third place is Special Needs Teacher Steph Harper, 26 – who impressed Locky with her humour when she dressed up as a man for the photo shoot date on Thursday night – coming in at $7.

Sportsbet also appears to have the same results for The Bachelor’s top two with Irena still on top at $1.75, followed by Bella at $2.50.

But, trailing behind in third place is fundraising coordinator Marlaina McPhillips, 31, at $5.50 to win.

Irena’s clear lead as the front runner comes after she and Bella were neck-and-neck at the start of the season.

Both eligible ladies had odds of $2.50 according TAB’s figures on Tuesday morning.

Irena and Bella’s extremely short odds suggest some degree of insider knowledge that one of these two women wins.

The Bachelor is filmed in advance and there are plenty of people – including the cast, crew and publicists – who know the outcome.

It’s possible one of these insiders leaked the result, causing a surge in online bets that resulted in Irena and Bella’s odds being slashed significantly.

Alternatively, somebody close to production may have let slip the ending to a friend, partner or family member, who in turn spread the news.

The Bachelor continues on Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10
