Married At First Sight certainly stirred up the drama at Wednesday’s Dinner Party when Eden Harper revealed co-star Sara Mesa’s secret date with her ex-boyfriend.
The controversy unfolded when Eden, 28, revealed her partner Jayden Eynaud had come across a compromising message on her phone, sparking a tense confrontation.
Eden approached Mesa with a choice: come clean to Tim about her actions, or face the possibility that Eden and Jayden would reveal the truth themselves.
“I feel like Jayden and I have been arguing for a whole week,” Eden began.
“It’s frustrating because whatever we argue about, we both morally agree on the same thing. But last weekend we were texting and Jayden saw a message from you on my phone. And I’m not willing to protect you from losing Jayden.”

Eden then explained, “I’m now going to give you the opportunity to tell Tim what you did last weekend. Otherwise we’ll do it, because I won’t protect you anymore.’
At first, Mesa tried to downplay the encounter by telling Tim that she had only encountered her ex by chance.
However, under pressure from Eden to reveal the full story, Mesa confessed that she had actively met her ex, although she insisted it was not a date.

“Sara, (Jayden”) saw the messages. And I won’t lie to you anymore. I’m not,” she insisted.
“Okay, so my ex and I are actually still friends,” she then explained. ‘I told Tim that I’m friends with all my friends and that you were having dinner with him.
Tim’s response was visceral and immediate; he physically distanced himself from Mesa, visibly shaken by the confession.
“You told me the whole thing about your note (during Confession Week) was about how you were treated by your ex,” Tim asked heartbroken.
The situation escalated when Jayden explained the contents of the message he saw, which suggested Mesa was trying to impress her ex with her appearance.
Despite Mesa’s attempts to justify the encounter as an innocent exchange between friends, Tim was unconvinced and visibly distraught, ultimately dismissing her explanation as “bulls**t.”

“No, I asked you if you still talk to him and you said no,” Tim continued.
“You said we have the same friends so we could run into each other here and there…but you didn’t say you still talk to him.”
The confrontation reached a boiling point when, after Eden and Jayden left the couple to discuss the matter privately, Mesa tried to reassure Tim that nothing untoward had happened during her meeting with her ex.
However, her assurances fell on deaf ears as a skeptical Tim walked away from the conversation, putting their relationship in jeopardy.
Married At First Sight continues on Sunday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
