The Bachelor: Viewers shocked at Locky and Izzy's 'X-rated' date

Thursday night's episode of The Bachelor was a strange one as Locky Gilbert and his chosen ladies began dating in lockdown via Zoom.

Viewers, however, were shocked when they saw the first virtual single date between Izzy Sharman-Firth and Locky, due to its X-rated nature.

Things started off innocently enough with the pair making tacos in their separate kitchens to enjoy together over Zoom, something they first spoke of on the red carpet (well, not the Zoom part), but then as they enjoyed their Mexican feast, Locky surprised Izzy by telling her they'd be having a bath together.

One might have assumed Izzy and Locky would be in swimwear while in the bath, however, this was not the case with viewers shocked after seeing Locky's bare bottom as he reached for a glass of wine.

"I am UNCOMFY with the angles I witnessed," one viewer wrote on Twitter.

Another joked: "Truly a miracle we didn't all cop [an] eyeful of testicle."

"Did anyone else rewind and watch Locky half getting out of the bath in slow motion or was that just me?" someone else said.

"[Whose] idea was it to have a virtual BATH date?? Cause no one asked," one fan wrote.

Another said: "To the poor channel 10 editors that had to meticulously edit Locky's junk out of this scene, I'm so sorry."

"Watching two people have a bath over Zoom is just as awkward and uncomfortable as you’d expect it to be," someone else wrote.

Izzy appeared to be enjoying the date, especially when Locky stood up, with many viewers complaining about how often the reality contestant was left hysterically laughing.

One user said: "This is very boring TV. And I feel Izzy's laugh is totally fake, it has to be... sorry Locky's just not that funny."

At one point Izzy complained that there were "too many bubbles" in Locky's bath and then asked him about a tattoo he has on his leg, to which he responded: "Are you just getting me to stand up?"

She joked: "Yeah, I'd just like to see a little bit more of your skin."

Locky then raised his leg in the air, creating what could have been a very awkward situation, thankfully, there really were a lot of bubbles in both of their baths.
