Married At First Sight bride Tori Adams finally admitted she couldn’t ‘support’ her husband Jack Dunkley after stoically standing by him during weeks of drama.
Jack, 34, has repeatedly come under fire on the Channel Nine dating show for his shocking comments, including telling Jono McCullough to ‘muzzle’ his wife Lauren Dunn in a ‘sexist’ remark.
Tori, 27, has repeatedly supported her husband amid the controversary but was left shaken when more bombshell claims came to light in Tuesday’s tense episode.
Tori was first told by Sara Mesa that Jack had been ‘flirty’ with her, had ‘smacked her butt’ and kissed her on the cheek, but Tori later insisted she didn’t believe the claims.
However, in another hurdle for the couple, Timothy Smith then shared that Jack had made a ‘body-shaming’ comment about ‘whales’ while he was sunbathing with Lucinda Light and Tristan Black.

In an explosive row, Timothy revealed: ‘When we were at the pool yesterday, you had the audacity to walk in and go, “oh what are the whales here today”.’
It proved to be the last straw for Tori who insisted that she couldn’t stand by Jack as she slammed the remark as ‘malicious’ and ‘unacceptable’.
Amid the blazing row, Tori told Jack to ‘stop’ defending himself before storming off, as her partner followed her and continued to argue against the claims and win her over.
He insisted there wasn’t any ‘malice’ behind his remark as he said it was just a ‘joke’ and ‘banter’, before claiming the other couples were simply trying to target him.
But Tori said to camera: ‘I’ve always said Jack is not a malicious person, but that comment is completely malicious. I’ve never really felt a deep disappointment in him, but that I was like why, it’s just so unacceptable.’
Jack claimed: ‘I have a target on my back, they’ve gone and plotted, the guys who are having trouble in their relationships with their girls, and this is why they’re doing it obviously.’

But Tori argued: ‘It doesn’t matter who picked it up, it makes you look like a f**king idiot.’
Jack insisted he didn’t care about what anyone else thought because he was only on the show for Tori, and then said that all he could do was apologise and move on.
‘There’s only so many times you can say sorry before the word sorry doesn’t stick,’ Tori said to camera as she appeared rattled by Jack’s comments.
‘We are here with these people, none of them f**king like you, and the list is growing. It’s quite fatiguing to have all these things come out, I feel like I look like an idiot, because I’m backing him constantly.’
Jack said she didn’t have to support him just because they are married, prompting Tori to respond: ‘I can’t support that Jack. I cannot support that.’
It remains to be seen whether the couple will overcome the hurdle, after Jack has been accused of ‘sexism’ and confronted by the experts over his shocking remarks in recent weeks.
The latest row also follows Sunday’s commitment ceremony when he admitted he felt like Tori was more ‘into’ him, before she warned him not to waste her time in the experiment.
Tuesday’s tense scenes saw Timothy accuse personal trainer Jack of ‘body-shaming’ for making a remark about ‘whales’ when he saw some of his co-stars sunbathing at the Byron Bay retreat.

Fuming to the group, Timothy revealed: ‘You’re a s**t person and the reason you’re a s**t person – and I didn’t want to say – but when we were at the pool yesterday, you had the audacity to walk in and go “oh what are the whales here today”.’
Jack insisted: ‘It’s a f**king joke!’ but Sara raged: ‘That’s not a joke! A whale insinuates fat!’
Defending himself to the group, Jack said: ‘I would never directly call anyone a whale, these are cheap shots, there is banter happening all over the place.’
Admitting he made the remark, Jack insisted it had been taken out of context and added: ‘I honestly think I was probably saying it was Ridge.’
However, Timothy argued: ‘Ridge wasn’t there, that’s deflection again!’ as Ridge too failed to come to his aid.
Timothy was left completely fuming as the remark had been made within earshot of his close friend Tristan Black, who has been open with his body image struggles.
Reacting to the cruel comment, Tristan said to camera: ‘You know how s**t it is being the only dude who has body insecurities?
‘It’s the comments like that that f**k me up, I hate pools, I hate taking my shirt off and you’ve rocked up being like “look at all the whales here”.’

Jack again insisted that it was ‘all banter’ but Lauren Dunn said he shouldn’t be joking about certain things.
Jack then told her: ‘Just shut up!’ with Lauren reacting in exasperation following his controversial ‘muzzle’ remark directed at her just days earlier.
Tori said: ‘Jack, Jack, stop! I actually cannot sit here for much longer,’ before walking away from the blazing row.
Earlier in the episode, Jack had also been accused of being ‘flirty’ with Sara Mesa, with the bride and Lauren bringing it to Tori’s attention.
Sara accused Jack of ‘smacking’ her backside and kissing her neck as she claimed she had been left uncomfortable by his actions.
Sara said: ‘Maybe I’m in my head, but Jack’s been really flirty with me, and there was a comment made at the gym about him saying to Tim “you’ve got the hottest wife on the show”.
‘After that comment was made, we were in the hall and Tim and I were going to the spa and he said hello to Tim and Tim walked in front of me, and as I walked off, he kind of lightly smacked my butt.
However, Timothy Smith then shared that Jack had made a ‘body-shaming’ comment about ‘whales’ while he was sunbathing with Lucinda Light and Tristan Black, leaving Tori fuming
‘Then the second thing was, when we were at the dinner party, and he came to apologise to you and apologise to me, he kissed my neck.’
‘Those things happened that made me feel a certain way, and the only reason now I’m bringing it up is because of all the other things that happened,’ she added.
Tori was left upset after learning of the remarks and was quick to confront Jack, who insisted Sara’s claims were completely ‘ridiculous’.
He said: ‘I don’t want to comment on it. That’s so ridiculous,’ but Tori pushed him, saying: ‘I need something a bit more than that.’
Jack insisted: ‘I can’t stand Sara, you know I can’t stand Sara. She’s not my person at all, whatsoever.’
Clarifying his remarks, he went on: ‘I think I said she’s the most striking, she’d stand out the most like a red Ferrari. This is so out of context, she’s looking for some clout.’
Tori was then heard breaking down in tears behind closed doors as she said the constant drama and controversy was ‘draining’ her.
Jack argued: ‘You’ve heard my side and I think you know the s**t Sara is saying is BS. I’ve never had a conversation with Sara let alone have any ill-intent towards her.’
It proved to be the last straw for Tori who insisted that she couldn’t stand by Jack as she slammed the remark as ‘malicious’ and ‘unacceptable’
‘You’re lucky I’m thick-skinned and strong or you’d be screwed,’ Tori conceded as she continued to back her husband.
‘What the girls told me last night, I don’t believe that to be true. I know how Jack feels about Sara, I’ll be very shocked if there’s any truth to that,’ Tori added to camera.
‘Lauren and Sara are betting on this blowing up and not working, but I know what I’m doing.’
She insisted she would continue to ‘stick’ by Jack, but just hours later, the ‘body-shaming’ comment appeared to be the final straw for the bride.
Married At First Sight continues Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
