Jack Dunkley’s married friend Lizz has hit back at wild speculation she is ‘in love’ with the MAFS groom after her shock grilling of his bride Tori Adams.
Lizz featured in Tuesday night’s episode of the Channel Nine dating show when Jack, 34, brought Tori, 27, to the Gold Coast to see his home and meet his friends.
However, Tori quickly came under fire from Jack’s friend and personal training client Lizz, who didn’t shy away from making her doubts about the couple known.
She shocked fans by slamming Tori as ‘basic’ and accusing her of only being with personal trainer Jack because of his six-pack, leaving the bride enraged.
Lizz’s confrontational remarks prompted wild speculation on social media she is secretly ‘in love’ with Jack, however she has now hit back at the claims.

Lizz – who is married with two children – took to Instagram after the scenes aired to share a photograph of her and Jack as she poked fun at the online comments.
She joked she was sharing a snap of herself and her ‘secret lover’ as she firmly shut down the remarks.
She wrote: ‘For all my newly acquired fans, so that you no longer have to comment on photos of our beautiful baby girls or my dearly departed Dad, here’s a cheeky behind the scenes photo of my secret lover and me [love heart emoji / crying laughing emoji].’
Lizz is married to her husband Stas and they welcomed their second child together in June last year. They also share another child and Lizz frequently shares sweet family snaps to her social media.
Tuesday’s shock scenes on MAFS saw Lizz boldly accuse Tori of sleeping with her male friends and slam her as ‘basic’ in a tense confrontation.

Lizz first voiced her concerns after Jack and Tori told her they hadn’t yet had sex, describing it as a ‘red flag’ as she remained unconvinced about their connection.
‘You don’t buy a pair of shoes without trying them on first, come on,’ she said of their lack of intimacy. ‘They’re married they should be having sex, it seems like a red flag for me.’
‘I just don’t think that’s the right girl for him. I don’t want him to settle and I don’t think he should have to settle for anything less than his fairytale ending,’ she added.
Lizz then grilled Tori about her friendships, to which the bride replied: ‘I have a lot of male friends, I’ve always been one of the boys.’
Lizz then brazenly said: ‘I don’t want to stereotype but I feel like when I come across a girl that only has guy friends, and they’re like “I’m one of the boys”, it’s usually because they’re sleeping with the boys.’

Tori insisted she hadn’t slept with anyone in her friendship group, with Lizz then saying maybe she was the ‘exception’ to the rule.
Lizz insisted she wasn’t a ‘fan’ of Tori’s and said to camera: ‘I don’t see it translating to the real world, I don’t see it going long term and I hope Jack can see that.’
She also questioned Tori on her wedding vows, claiming they came across as ‘bossy’ and said she wouldn’t want to be friends with her based off the speech.
‘I feel like anyone that makes their coffee order their personality is not my type of person,’ Lizz said, referring to Tori mentioning looking forward to having lattes with Jack in her vows.
‘I got the impression you’re basic,’ she added.

In another jaw-dropping remark, Lizz then said: ‘You’ve been single for a while, Jack’s got a six-pack, maybe you’re trying to make it work for the wrong reasons.’
But Tori insisted: ‘I don’t put my energy into things that I don’t want to put my energy into.
‘I wouldn’t be making this work to save face, I gave up a lot to be here, so if it wasn’t working, I’d leave you respectfully, and resume life on the outside.’
Reacting to the shocking grilling, Tori said to camera: ‘So many things were said where I was like who are you? I don’t know what Lizz was trying to achieve, her line of questioning was so negative. All it did was p*** me off.’
