'He has often admitted he enjoys being in front of the camera and was looking forward to more TV opportunities centred around the things he likes, like travelling and adventure', an insider told the publication on Monday.  

The publication claimed several of the girls competing on The Bachelor were  unhappy after learning about Locky's quest for fame. 

'It caused a lot of issues with the girls - they were divided, some felt it was fine and others didn't want to become collateral damage for someone who just wanted to add to his acting reel,' the source alleged.
