Farmer Wants a Wife: Leish caught sneaking into Ben’s bedroom at night

Emotions were running high on Sunday’s episode of Farmer Wants a Wife after one of the women was caught sneaking into a farmer’s bedroom late at night.

The ladies vying for the heart of NSW dairy farmer Ben, 27, discovered he was having ‘sneaky’ rendezvous with his favourite contestant, Leish.

Leish, 31, a hospital administrator from Queensland, had caught Ben’s eye right off the bat, and was invited to come to his farm 24 hours ahead of everyone else.

And this favouritism was obvious to all the contestants when Ben gravitated towards Leish after waking the women up at 3am to milk the cows.

Their feelings of jealousy later intensified when the ladies found out Leish had been ‘sneaking’ into Ben’s room for a goodnight kiss the previous two nights.

Despite her best efforts to keep their assignations a secret, the other women could hear what they were doing.

Confronting Leish in the kitchen the next morning, Lauren said: ‘Lauren I’m in the next room, so I can hear you sneaking in and out, do you know what I mean?’

Leish said they hadn’t slept together but had kissed in the bedroom.

‘We have kissed, um, and that’s that, but I am trying to keep our connection out of your faces,’ she explained.

Leish later told producers she was trying to strike the balance of building her connection with Ben while also being respectful to the other women.

Meanwhile, a sheepish-looking Ben entered the kitchen as the ladies were grilling Leish about their late-night kisses.

Brushing off their jealously, he said: ‘This is part of the journey we signed up for, you know? It was always going to happen.’

And despite Leish being his obvious favourite at this stage in the competition, he insisted he hadn’t ‘ruled out’ any of the others.

‘I’m going to pursue my connection with Leish, as much as I’m gonna try to get to know you girls as well,’ he said.

‘I don’t want to put you guys in an awkward position and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable here.’

Farmer Wants a Wife continues Monday at 7:30pm on Channel Seven.
