Elly And Becky Miles Had Their Phones Confiscated On 'The Bachelorette' Thanks To Locky’s Past Behaviour

Elly And Becky Miles Had Their Phones Confiscated On 'The Bachelorette' Thanks To Locky’s Past Behaviour

Some may have noticed that when Elly and Becky Miles were announced as the new Bachelorettes for 2020, both remained quite silent on social media.

And apparently, it was all because of little ol' Locky Gilbert.

According to reality TV podcast, So Dramatic!, the Miles sisters were only handed back their phones after filming the finale, which is why their social media presence as only been recent.

Crikey, this is actually happening! So bloody lucky to have my best friend right there along with me 👯🥰 @bacheloretteau is coming soon to @channel10au #BacheloretteAU @happylittlebeckymite

And it seems that a mobile phone ban is not a policy that Network 10 normally enforces when filming The Bachelor franchise. Typically, the contestants' phones are confiscated but not the Bachelor or Bachelorette themselves.

According to an insider on So Dramatic!, their phones were confiscated by the producers because they were nervous that the sisters would text other men during filming. The producers wanted to avoid even more scandals and spoilers that could bring the franchise undone—just like Locky's behaviour did.

During his time on The Bachelor, Locky was accused of texting and chatting to other women on Instagram while filming the Love in Lockdown episodes of the show.

While his season was airing, an insider told New Idea magazine that Locky’s “been sliding into the DMs of several women on Instagram,” and that he does this as an attempt to start dating them.

“He likes all of their photos to get their attention,” the insider added. “He sends them a cheeky message and, of course, they’re more than happy to reply, considering he’s Australia’s most eligible Bachelor.”

OMG!!!!! @travelsofclaire who was included in Locky's unhinged liking spree hit list just posted this Tik Tok video 😱😱😱😱 SAY. NO. MORE. I rest my case..... ☠️☠️ #thebachelorau #thebachelor

Back on September 14, Instagram influencer Claire Lucinda also confessed to being sent flirty messages from Locky, telling So Dramatic! that “he was asking for my Snapchat, he was DMing me every single day.”

It all makes sense now.
