Farmer Wants a Wife’s Sam Reitano quits the show after his grandfather’s death

Farmer Wants a Wife’s Sam Reitano quit the show on Sunday after the tragic death of his grandfather.

The tropical fruit farmer, 28, received a heartbreaking call from his mother telling him his grandfather had died from a heart attack.

Sam made the difficult decision to leave and broke the news to his remaining ladies, Emily, Riley and Sophie ahead of the group dinner. 

He told his women: ‘This week has been a really big week. I know we all came here to find love and I thought I could get through this but I can’t.’

Sam went on to tell the girls that he’s ‘enjoyed every moment’ he’s had with them but he needs to be with his family. 

‘Right now I need to attend to my family back at home and I’m going to have to call it quits,’ he said.

‘I’ve got to end this right now for myself. I’ve enjoyed every moment I’ve had with you all.’

The farmer also told Sophie he thought she was his perfect match until she told him she wasn’t interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with him.

‘You put the cherry on top but then you gave me this bombshell today and you broke my heart into pieces but that’s life. You can’t always get what you want,’ he said.

Sophie then apologised and explained she didn’t want to break Sam’s heart but she didn’t feel they had a romantic connection. 

‘I would of loved to not be in a situation where I had to break your heart and to have to do it when you and your family are going through what you’re going through,’ she explained.

‘Thank you to you and to your family because they opened their home… You’re all an amazing bunch of people,’ she added.
