Despite being one of Jed’s front runners on The Bachelors, Tash Candyce has revealed that she didn’t want to sleep with him. 

Throughout the first week of the show, it was clear that Tash Candyce was one of Jed’s favourite women. He was besotted as soon as he met her, and took her on a single date early on. He even stood up for her after she exposed co-stars Jasmine’s OnlyFans and Jessica’s relationship preferences of being polyamorous.

However, just hours after telling the other women that she was going to “win”, Tash packed her bags and dramatically exited the show. Her reason? She quit the show in protest of Jasmine getting a rose, sensationally claiming that The Bachelors was rigged.

Now, Tash has revealed that she actually wasn’t that into Jed, and said that she didn’t want to sleep with him. The reality star was asked by Kyle and Jackie O this morning if the real reason she left the show was related to her lack of attraction to Jed.

You didn’t want to sleep with that bloke[Jed],” Kyle asked. “No,” Tash responded.

She added, “No, there was no chemistry. I was just there to stir the pot.”

Tash locked horns with co-star Jasmine throughout her time on The Bachelors. In recent episodes, contestant Jasmine decided that her current lead choice, Jed, wasn’t the best match for her. The revelation came after contestant Tash exposed Jasmine for having an OnlyFans account on last week’s episode. In the scenes following Jasmine’s breach of privacy, Jed didn’t provide her with the emotional support she needed.

As a result, Jasmine began to wonder if fellow The Bachelors lead Thomas was a better match for her. Jasmine approached Thomas to ask if he’d be willing to get to know her. However, he quickly shut down the idea. Regardless, when Jed offered Jasmine a rose at the rose ceremony, she declined it and returned to the podium with the hope that Thomas would offer her one. Lo and Behold, Thomas took Jed’s spare rose and gave it to Jasmine, which means one of his ladies, Marnie, was sent home.

Some of the women – namely Tash Candyce, Marjorie Griffiths and CJ – were left less than happy when Jasmine received the rose and quit the show last night in protest.
