During the episode, Steph swapped her long blonde locks for a short curly wig, fake mustache and a grey suit.
‘So, the girls are walking in, and the first thing I see is… a dude,’ Locky said in a cutaway scene.
Despite drawing the short straw and being the only one dressed up as a man, Steph took it in her stride and ended up catching the Survivor star’s attention for all the right reasons.

It wasn’t only Locky who thought Steph was the star of the photo shoot, fans flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts on her costume too.
‘Steph’s done a pretty good job taking on the goofy dad role and showing Locky that she has a sense of humour, while all the other girls act a little too precious,’ said one user.
