Bella Varelis is one of the bookies' favourites to win Locky Gilbert's heart on The Bachelor, but it's starting to look like she isn't the last woman standing.
The marketing consultant, 25, has seemingly proved she isn't dating Locky by flaunting her friendship with fellow contestant Bec Cvilikas - something winners rarely do.
The two women were spotted having brunch in Sydney's Bondi over the weekend, which is hardly the sort of behaviour you'd expect from two love rivals.

The pair were seen gossiping and laughing during their morning catch-up.
Even though Bachelor finalists are encouraged to keep a low profile while their season airs, Bella and Bec chose to dine at paparazzi hotspot Bills.
They made no effort to hide their friendship, choosing instead to sit in full view of passersby on a kerbside table.

The two women showed off their slender physiques in stylish activewear as they drank coffee and juice and enjoyed breakfast.
In August, paparazzi photos surfaced of the top-five rose ceremony, which included Bella, Bec, Izzy Sharman-Firth, Kaitlyn Hoppe and Irena Srbinovska.
Meanwhile, Bec appears to have formed a close bond with Bella following her tense falling out with Irena, which was shown on Thursday's episode.

On Thursday's episode Bella told Irena their friendship was over, because she could no longer trust her.
During the cocktail party, which was filmed in early July, Bella accused Irena of lying about her communication with Locky while the cast was in lockdown, and labelled her a 'manipulative little b***h'.
Fans are now convinced that Bella and Bec's newfound friendship is a major spoiler.

Hmm! Their closeness could be proof neither of them ends up with Locky, as the 'winner' is rarely seen with their former rivals in the lead-up to the finale
Their closeness could be proof neither of them ends up with Locky, as the 'winner' is rarely seen with their former rivals in the lead-up to the finale.
However, it's important to note that some former Bachelor winners have remained friends with their co-stars.
Laura Byrne from Matty Johnson's season, for example, was seen hanging out with top-four contestant Florence Moerenhout ahead of the 2017 finale.

Chelsie McLeod, who won Matt Agnew's heart on The Bachelor last year, also hung out with the cast from time to time.
Following Bella and Bec's brunch date, they walked Sydney's iconic Bondi and Bronte coastal track.
It comes after the So Dramatic! podcast reported that Bella wasn't given her cocktail party promotional photo last week as a 'punishment' for leaking spoilers.
