With just a couple of weeks remaining on The Horny Badger’s Quest For A Mate, last night we said goodbye to Shannon.

Shannon received the very first date and after that… well, we didn’t see a whole lot of her again.

She bid a very emotional goodbye to Nick last night, telling him he should’ve given her another chance and saying that she regretted the fact they never kissed.

Punkee spoke to Shannon about her time in the mansion and whether she’d do it all again.

On her time with Nick:

“It ended up being nearly three months from my first date to my last rose ceremony. I did some pretty cool things for Nick that didn’t go to air. I did a big canvas art thing, and I did another one where Nick was playing the guitar and I was singing to him!”

“I had no idea who [Nick was] before I entered the house. I had never watched rugby in my life. I was attracted to him because he made me laugh. Like you don’t have to look good at all, if you can make me laugh that’s how I’ll fall head over heels.”

On Dasha’s breakdown in last night’s ep:

“Dash and I got along like a house on fire and we had conversations afterwards and she was confused about what Nick was looking for and that’s what she was really cut up about.”

On moving on:

“As soon as I got out, I was straight back on the plane to Adelaide, went on a week camping trip and I was fully OK! Snapping back into reality is pretty unusual, but I snapped back and moved forward pretty quickly because I had enough time to reflect on it all.”

On doing reality TV again:

“I wouldn’t even think twice, I think Bachelor in Paradise would be way better – more men!”
