Farmer Wants A Wife star Emma has spoken out about her shock exit from the show, revealing what really happened when Farmer Tom abruptly ended their connection.
Viewers were left reeling earlier this week when Tom told Emma he felt a stronger bond with the other women on his farm, despite her appearing to be the frontrunner in the race for his heart.
Adding salt to the wound, Tom didn’t even hug Emma before making a swift exit – a moment fans described as ‘brutal’.
Tom appeared to flee the scene before Emma’s car had even driven away, sparking outrage among viewers who accused him of being uncaring.
Emma has now broken her silence on the shock dumping and revealed what actually occurred behind the scenes.
‘I was left there for a couple of minutes by myself. Honestly, it’s good to take a minute to think about everything that just happened, I was kind of shocked,’ Emma told Yahoo Lifestyle.

‘It looks brutal, but in a way it just gave me that space to think, “Okay this is happening”. I got my thoughts together and then he walked me to the car within minutes.’
She then revealed what was her biggest regret from her time on the series – not being given the chance to farewell her female co-stars.
‘Maybe it was for the best, because it would just make everyone quite emotional and there was another elimination that night,’ she said.
‘I wasn’t expecting to make such good friends. It is long, tiring days filming, you get emotional at the end of the day. I wasn’t really expecting to have such a good time, I really enjoyed myself.’
Emma’s departure follows shock events last month, in which two contestants completely ditched the show after less than 24 hours on Farmer Tom’s regional property.
During the episode, lawyer Bridget, 34, and fitness coach Emmie-Rose, 29, bolted for the exit, without so much as saying goodbye to Tom.
In the second episode of the season, the New South Wales sheep farmer met eight women, before a round of speed dating to determine who he wanted to invite back to his Borambola farm.
Following the round of one-on-one dates, Farmer Tom eliminated three potential matches and invited Eliza, Emma, Emmie-Rose, Georgie and Bridget to spend more time with him.

Bridget and Emmie-Rose were filmed hopping into a taxi early in the morning, without providing an explanation for their Irish goodbye.
Instead, Tom was left blindsided when he woke up to three – not five – single ladies remaining on the farm.
Outraged viewers took to X and Instagram to slam the two women for each taking a chance away from a genuine participant.
‘I think they should have spoken to Tom and said their goodbyes. But it’s good they realised early that Tom or the farm wasn’t for them,’ one viewer commented on the official FWAW Instagram.
‘Had they not seen previous seasons? They knew exactly what they were walking into,’ another pointed out.
On their way out, the duo spoke about how they lost their spark with Tom following their solo speed dates in episode one.
However, Farmer Tom took the double ghosting on the chin, telling producers that he wishes the pair ‘all the best’.
