Bachelor house mean girl Cat Henesey-Smith calls Nick ‘Honey-Badger’ Cummins ‘a prawn’

A CONTESTANT on The Bachelor has likened Nick “Honey-Badger” Cummins to a prawn and elaborated by adding “enjoy the body but throw away the head”.

LET’S call it a case of revenge prawn. Bachelor contestant Cat Henesey-Smith has revealed Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins has a hot body but a not-so-attractive head, in light of a failed kiss that will air on tonight’s episode of the reality dating show.

“I feel like it is more of a prawn situation,” she said. “I am serious, it is more of a good body but anything shoulder up is debatable.”

A “prawn” is a slang term described by Urban Dictionary as someone “that has a mad body but a bad face … it comes from when you eat a prawn, you eat the body and throw away the head”.

Confidential wonders if this revelation is the Bali-based fashion designer ruling herself out of the competition — or is she simply negging the former rugby player?

Either way, Henesey-Smith is also not a fan of Cummins’ trademark honey-blond locks.

“I am going to say no curls, I don’t like his hair,” she said. “I never told him that — but I told him with my eyes.”

Henesey-Smith, 24, has emerged as one of the more controversial contestants of the series, labelled one of “mean girls” for her frank honesty in the Bachelor mansion, where she’s formed a close bond with Romy Poulier and Alisha Aitken-Radburn.

In last night’s episode she came to blows with Shannon Baff and Blair Thomas.

“I would call it more honest,” she said of her straight-shooting personality. “I say things how they are, I call a spade a spade, so sue me.

“No one wants to be called mean and no one wants to be trolled on Instagram, but it is what it is and if anyone can take it, I can.

“I have a thick skin.”

Henesey-Smith explained she had been called “fat and ugly” by haters online.

“I went on the show knowing that I could get backlash or that it could turn positively,” she said.

“I don’t think I am mean. I can be upfront and honest, which can come across as mean, but there is also a lot more fun to my personality and I do have a very soft and caring side that isn’t being shown. I am not sure that will come out but that is OK, the people in my life that are important to me know who I am and that is all that matters.”
