Despite months of careful planning and secret meetings at Channel 5 HQ, the winner of the series has already begun circulating.

Daily Star Online can reveal that contestant Tonique Campbell brazenly told party-goers in Freedom nightclub who ends up coupled with hunk Alex Marks.

A source spilled: "Tonique was out in Soho last week and started openly telling people who won the show.

"She didn't seem to care who could hear her."

The news will come as a massive blow to Channel 5 who had been determined to keep the news under wraps.

A TV insider added: "This leak is hugely embarrassing for Channel 5.

"With Big Brother out of the picture The Bachelor UK was their big programme and has been pushed loads on social media.

"For the winner of the show to have leaked before the first episode has even aired is disastrous."

Daily Star Online have decided not to reveal the outcome of the show.

The programme, which kicks off tonight at 10pm on Channel 5, is being hosted by former TOWIE star Mark Wright.

The gig will be Mark's first UK TV stint since he called time on his life in Los Angeles as a host on Extra TV.

Speaking on Loose Women about the show, the 32-year-old said: "Always said to Alex just follow your heart.

"He’s a very well-to-do man, he’s a gentleman, he’s got a great job, and he was always at times thinking he should choose this girl because that’s what would suit him better and that’s what would suit his family better."

He added to hosts Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield: "I always said to him, 'Picture sending home both of those girls, but which one would upset you most'.

"What I love about this series is in the final, which you’ll have to wait two weeks for, the girl that he chooses is the girl he followed his heart from the start, who you probably wouldn’t expect.’
