Jamie Doran Has Accused ‘The Bachelor’ Australia Of Stealing His Beloved Navy Tuxedo For Locky

"Budget cuts at Channel 10? I mean, it was only the premiere?" - by Diandra Malivindi

Jamie Doran Has Accused ‘The Bachelor’ Australia Of Stealing His Beloved Navy Tuxedo For Locky

Despite this season of The Bachelor Australia being one of the most uneventful to date, it seems past contestants have taken to adding the drama themselves.

Enter: Jamie Doran.

The past Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise star has come forward to accuse Network 10 crew of repurposing his old suit for Locky Gilbert.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, the 40-year-old firefighter shared a side-by-side photo of himself during his time on Angie Kent's season of The Bachelorette, alongside a snap of Locky Gilbert during the premiere episode of the current season of the show.

Both men are sporting a navy blue suit with black lapels and a black bow tie, which was apparently enough for Jamie to add his own interesting conspiracy theory about the outfit.

"Ah, so that's where the suit I left in the crack house (mansion) went! You're welcome @lockygilbert," he wrote. "Budget cuts at Channel 10? I mean, it was only the premiere?"

He then tagged "The Crack House" as a location, alongside the best Bachelor gossip accounts, Bachie Funny, Bachie Memes AU and So Dramatic! Podcast.

Coming for blood, Doran commented on an Instagram post by Bachie Memes AU that compared the men and their suits, writing: “Not much money in a show that gets 500,000 viewers an episode, and less ratings than Antiques Roadshow.”

Why is Jamie and Locky wearing the same suite ? Producers couldn't change it up with a different colour ? #thebachelorau #thebachelor #bacheloraustralia

But while Doran seems adamant that his beloved suit was recycled for Gilbert, a closer analysis performed by Bachie Memes AU has spotted that Doran's suit has actually been a style staple since 2017—two years before he was even on the show.

Prior to Doran's appearance on the show, the infamous navy tuxedo has been worn by four other men, including: Josh Cox from Angie Kent's season of The Bachelorette, Dan Hobley from Ali Oetjen's season, plus Eden Schwenke and Stu Laundy from Sophie Monk's season.

Doran's accusations against Network 10 come soon after he revealed his plans to take legal action against the network and Warner Bros. Australia due to his poor portrayal on the show.

"This is not the news I wanted to post, but I feel I owe this to at least my family, friends, and also fans of The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise," Jamie wrote back in July.

"After lengthy consideration, I've decided to begin legal proceedings against Network 10 and Warner Bros Australia.

"I'm not going to comment on this any further for the time being and would appreciate it if people would respect my privacy."
