Married At First Sight Jack Dunkley (pictured) sparked outrage at the latest dinner party in Wednesday’s episode when he told Jonathan McCullough to ‘muzzle’ his wife
The drama first kicked off when Lauren revealed that Jack had made a shock remark about Tori while chatting to Jono at the gym, leaving her completely outraged on her friend’s behalf.
She explained how Jack said if there is a couple swap situation in the experience, the boys have permission to sleep wit his wife, because he wasn’t attracted to her.
Last year, MAFS introduced the controversial ‘partner swap’ chellenge, which saw the participants exchange partners and share a bed together for a whole weekend.
At the dinner party, Lauren and some of the other brides then pulled Tori aside to make her aware of what Jack had said, leaving her looking downtrodden and upset.
Lauren relayed: ‘Jack told the boys something in the gym. He said, “If we get to couple’s swap week and we haven’t slept together, you guys can sleep with her”.’
Jack previously said he isn’t sexually attracted to his bride Tori, and Lauren brought the remarks to Tori’s attention as she shared her disapproval.

Speaking to camera about Tori’s reaciton, Lauren said: ‘She’s rattled, she looked upset. That’s the last thing I wanted to do but Jack needs to be put into the firing line with no wiggle room.’
Watching on, Jack could see Tori was upset and admitted he didn’t ‘trust’ anyone and accused Lauren of ‘looking for drama’, before dramatically confronting her in front of the group.
As Tori looked very uncomfortable, Jack turned on Lauren and asked: ‘I’m asking you, what you’ve said to my wife.’
Lauren quizzed him on his partner swap comment, with Jack arguing that he had only said it as a joke, despite insisting it was ‘inappropriate’ to repeat over dinner.
Jono looked unconvinced as he said: ‘It’s a weird joke to say, I didn’t take it as a joke.’
Meanwhile, Sara interjected: ‘The fact that you can’t even say it at the dinner table should be plain and simple that it’s not a joke.’
Upon hearing the comment, Lucinda fumed: ‘That sort of talk is disrespectful and degrading.’
The whole group quickly turned against him and voiced their disapproval over the shocking comment, as jaws dropped around the table.

In response, a shocked Lauren fumed: ‘You tell me to put a muzzle on me again, I’ll f**king show you who is going to need a muzzle’
Trying to defend himself, Jack argued: ‘Anything I would say to Jono, I would say in front of Tori, and she would say equal back.’
Backing Jack up, Tori insisted: ‘If Jack says it was a joke, I’m going to take it as a joke, I trust him.’
‘Jack and I joke about really s***ty things not intended for anyone else,’ she added.
Jack went on to deny that he had ever said he wasn’t attracted to Tori, despite having previously said he wasn’t ‘sexually attracted’ to her during a workshop.
Speaking to camera, Timothy insisted: ‘I heard that comment, he’s just deflecting and he’s not telling anyone the truth.’
Meanwhile, Jono told Jack: ‘You said, “We don’t have a sexual spark”. You are a sexual man.’
Jack fumed that Jono ‘broke the bro code’ by telling his wife Lauren what had been said as things got very tense around the table.
As Jack tried to speak to Jono, Lauren argued with him, prompting Jack to shockingly yell: ‘I’m not talking to you Lauren, shut your mouth! Can you muzzle your woman?’

The whole table descended into chaos after the shocking remark as Jono fumed: ‘Don’t f**king talk to her like that!’
Speaking to camera, Tristan said: ‘That’s not cool, my mum would beat me if I ever said that to a woman.’
Lucinda meanwhile added: ‘Not funny, not appropriate, not now, not ever, not to no one.’
Doubling down on his remark, Jack went on: ‘She needs it! She needs it!’ I can’t get a word in, because you will not shut your mouth.’
Lauren fumed: ‘You tell me to put a muzzle on me again, I’ll f**king show you who is going to need a muzzle.’
‘I’ve had enough of you, thank you very much,’ Jack said.
Unable to cope with the drama, Tori eventually stormed out of the dinner party.

‘I don’t know what to do, Jack said it was a joke, I don’t know who to believe.’
