Married At First Sight took a sharp turn on Monday night when Jack Dunkley was confronted about his relationship status outside the experiment.
During a heated dinner party, fellow groom Jayden Eynaud decided to broach the subject.
‘Obviously everyone has seen the article about Jack,’ he began, setting the stage for a confrontation that left Jack rolling his eyes in anticipation.
The article in question stemmed from allegations by a woman named Courtney Jade, who claimed back in August that Jack had ended their relationship under false pretences to join MAFS.
Courtney’s Instagram post accused Jack of breaking up with her right after she met his family.
She went on to allege he fabricated a ‘work opportunity in America’ to cover up his participation in the show.
As the group tried to digest the news, Lucinda comically questioned, ‘Who’s Jack?’
Jack then defended himself by downplaying his previous relationship as ‘casual yet exclusive’ before dismissing Courtney as a ‘disgruntled ex’.
However, fellow contestants Sara Mesa and Richard Sauerman weren’t ready to let the matter slide.
They both highlighted inconsistencies in Jack’s story.
The plot thickened when Jack inadvertently revealed the timing of their breakup, which coincided with his involvement in MAFS.
Lauren Dunn, speaking to the cameras, expressed her frustration with Jack’s evasiveness.
‘I feel like I’m going to have a bee in my bonnet over this situation if he continues to just be full of it,’ she said.
Married At First Sight continues Tuesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
