Tash Candyce certainly made a splash from the very first moment she appeared on The Bachelors.
From taking her adorable dog on her first date with Jed to outing fellow contestant Jess for having an open relationship with someone on the ‘outside’. Not to mention when Tash along with Marj and CJ dramatically left the mansion (although, Tash is returning to The Bachelors tonight, January 18)…

Tash shared with New Idea that the main reason why she and the other two left The Bachelors was Jasmine. Unsurprising for anyone who’s watched, as they’ll know that Tash and Jasmine had an intense feud during Tash’s time on the reality show.
First, Jasmine called Tash a “f**king b**ch” for telling Jed and Felix about Jess’ open relationship (and this led to a literal screaming match between the two during a rose ceremony). Then Tash told all of the contestants on the show that Jasmine had an OnlyFans, something she had confided in Tash early on.
Finally, Jasmine felt like her Bachelor Jed wasn’t the right man for her, especially if he had a connection with Tash. So, Jasmine approached Thomas and asked him to consider her as a love interest and low and behold, later that night, Jasmine rejected Jed’s rose but did get a rose from Thomas, meaning she successfully switched Bachelors and got to stay in the mansion.
And this was the last straw for Tash; she left The Bachelors the very next morning.
“I think we had enough at that rose ceremony because Jasmine was still staying in, and so I was like, ‘If this girl stays in, I can’t deal with her anymore’. She was just like a blow fly when you’re trying to eat a main meal. Like those internet browsers that just keep popping up and you’re like ‘close, close’. She was a bit of a virus, or I probably shouldn’t say that with COVID at the moment,” Tash told us.
The 31-year old also shared her thoughts on Jasmine swapping from Jed to Thomas with us and said, “I think it’s actually bulls**t. I feel like she’s just trying to stay in the house to get a rose because obviously Jed and I have a great connection and she couldn’t compete with that.”

Tash went on to share, “I’d definitely say Jasmine was the most difficult person to get along with in the house because she was like a blow fly that just wouldn’t leave me alone.”
We also asked whether Tash had any regrets about sharing Jasmine’s OnlyFans secret with the other The Bachelors contestants. In true Tash fashion, she didn’t, but she also claimed that the other girls already knew about Jasmine’s OnlyFans and were just “acting” for the cameras.
“No. To be honest, all the girls knew about her having an Only Fans account, so 10/10 acting from those girls. Yeah, I didn’t bring it up to Jed. Everyone knew about it. So that’s that.”
Of course, The Bachelors wrapped up filming quite a while ago so we wondered whether Tash and Jasmine had managed to bury the hatchet. When we asked Tash though, she said, “Who? No!”
The Bachelors airs on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 7.30pm on 10 and 10Play.
