In a startling turn of events, Sam Trask, who had been vying to become the Conservative candidate for Bridgend in South Wales, has announced he will no longer pursue the seat following the emergence of inappropriate comments he made on the MyFitnessPal app. The social and fitness tracking platform was used by Trask not only for tracking his exercise and diet but also for posting comments that have now come back to haunt him.

The revelations, brought to light by The Mirror, unveiled a series of sexual comments about women made by Trask several years ago. In light of the backlash, Trask swiftly decided to withdraw his candidacy. “These comments were made a number of years ago, and I recognise they are wholly inappropriate. For that I apologise and have decided to withdraw as a candidate,” he told The Mirror.
