The Bachelor contestant Marlaina McPhillips wears a face mask as she steps out in Melbourne

She is currently vying for the heart of Locklan ‘Locky’ Gilbert on The Bachelor. 

And Marlaina McPhillips, 31, swapped her on-screen glamour for a more low-key look as she stepped out to run errands in Melbourne on Saturday. 

The aspiring actress kept things casual in black leggings and a leather jacket, while also ensuring to wear a face mask to help limit the spread of COVID-19.  

Marlaina teamed her off-duty look with a casual grey top and converse trainers as she chatted away on the phone while heading to the supermarket.

She relied on her naturally striking features by going make-up free and wore her wavy brunette tresses undone.

Earlier in the day, the beauty was dressed in another comfortable ensemble as she took out her rubbish.

Marlaina, who works as a fundraising co-ordinator by day, made her reality television debut on the season premiere of The Bachelor on Wednesday night.

It appears that Marlaina made quite the impression on hunky Locky as she is the fourth favourite to win his heart, according to TAB’s latest betting odds. 

Irena Srbinovska and Bella Varelis have remained been tipped as the top two finalists.

Marlaina is an aspiring actress who had a small role in the AACTA Award-winning mini-series The Rackaracka in 2016.

She hails from Perth and is a keen AFL fan who supports the West Coast Eagles.

The Bachelor continues Wednesday at 7:30 pm on Channel 10.
