Married At First Sight’s Tori FINALLY says she ‘can’t support’ husband Jack as Timothy reveals his shock ‘body-shaming’ ‘whale’ comment in latest controversy to engulf the groom

Married At First Sight bride Tori Adams finally admitted she couldn’t ‘support’ her husband Jack Dunkley after stoically standing by him through weeks of drama.

Jack, 34, has repeatedly come under fire on dating show Channel Nine 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 controversy, but was shocked when even more shocking claims came to light in Tuesday’s tense episode.

Tori was first told by Sara Mesa that Jack had been “flirty” with her, “slapped her butt” and kissed her on the cheek, but Tori later insisted she did not believe the claims.

But in another hurdle for the couple, Timothy Smith then shared that Jack made a “body-shaming” comment about “whales” while sunbathing with Lucinda Light and Tristan Black.

In an explosive argument, Timothy revealed: ‘When we were at the pool yesterday you had the audacity to walk in and say ‘oh the whales are here today’.’

It proved to be the final straw for Tori, who insisted she couldn’t stand by Jack, labeling the comment ‘malicious’ and ‘unacceptable’.

Amid the blazing row, Tori told Jack to ‘stop’ defending himself before storming off, while her partner followed her and continued to argue against the claims and win her over.

He insisted there was no “malice” behind his comment, saying it was just a “joke” and “banter” before claiming the other couples were simply trying to target him.

But Tori told the camera: “I’ve always said Jack isn’t an evil person, but that comment is completely evil. I never really felt any deep disappointment in him, but to think why, that’s just so unacceptable.’

Jack claimed: ‘I’ve got a target on my back, they’ve gone and made plans, the boys having problems in their relationships with their girls, and this is clearly why they’re doing it.’

But Tori argued: ‘It doesn’t matter who picked it up, it makes you look like an idiot.’

Jack insisted that he didn’t care what anyone else thought because he was only on the show for Tori, then said all he could do was apologize and move on.

“You can only say sorry so many times before the word sorry doesn’t stick,” Tori said to the camera as she appeared shocked by Jack’s comments.

“We are here with these people, none of them are like you, and the list is growing. It’s quite exhausting to see all these things come out. I feel like I look like an idiot for supporting him all the time.”

Jack said she didn’t have to support him just because they’re married, to which Tori replied, “I can’t support that Jack.” I cannot support that.’

It remains to be seen whether the couple will overcome the hurdle after Jack was accused of ‘sexism’ and confronted by the experts over his shocking comments in recent weeks.

The latest row also follows Sunday’s commitment ceremony, when he admitted he felt Tori was more “into” him, before she warned him not to waste her time on the experiment.

In Tuesday’s tense scenes, Timothy accused personal trainer Jack of ‘body shaming’ for making a comment about ‘whales’ when he saw some of his co-stars sunbathing at the Byron Bay retreat.

Furious to the group, Timothy revealed, “You’re such a person and the reason why you’re such a person – and I didn’t want to say it – but when we were at the pool yesterday you had the audacity to get in to walk and say “oh the whales are here today”.’

Jack insisted, “It’s a fucking joke!” but Sara raged, “That’s no joke! A whale insinuates fat!’

Jack defended himself to the group and said, “I would never directly call anyone a whale, these are cheap shots, there’s banter all around.”

Jack admitted he made the comment, insisted it was taken out of context, and added, “I honestly think I probably said it was Ridge.”

However, Timothy argued, “Ridge wasn’t there, that’s another deflection!” because Ridge didn’t come to his rescue either.

Timothy was left completely furious when the comment was made within earshot of his close friend Tristan Black, who has been open about his struggles with body image.

In response to the cruel comment, Tristan told the camera, “Do you know how hard it is to be the only guy who has insecurities about his body?

‘It’s comments like that that confuses me, I hate swimming pools, I hate taking my shirt off and you’re excited and saying, ‘Look at all the whales here’.’

Jack again insisted it was ‘all in jest’, but Lauren Dunn told him not to joke about certain things.

Jack then told her, “Shut up!” with Lauren reacting with annoyance to his controversial ‘snout’ comment directed at her just days earlier.

Tori said, ‘Jack, Jack, stop! “I can’t really sit here much longer,” before walking away from the burning row.

Earlier in the episode, Jack was also accused of being “flirty” with Sara Mesa, with the bride and Lauren bringing it to Tori’s attention.

Sara accused Jack of ‘slapping’ her bottom and kissing her neck, claiming his actions made her feel uncomfortable.

Sara said: ‘Maybe it’s in my head, but Jack is very flirty with me, and a comment was made in the gym that he said to Tim, “You’ve got the hottest woman on the show.”

“After that comment was made, we were sitting in the hall and Tim and I went to the spa and he said hi to Tim and Tim walked in front of me, and as I walked away he smacked my butt a little bit.

“The second was that when we were at the dinner party and he came to apologize to you and me, he kissed my neck.”

“Things happened that made me feel a certain way, and the only reason I’m bringing it up now is because of all the other things that happened,” she added.

Tori was upset after hearing about the comments and quickly confronted 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 and said, “I need something more than that.”

Jack insisted, “I can’t stand Sara, you know I can’t stand Sara. She’s not my person at all.’

Clarifying his comments, he continued: “I think I said she is the most striking, she stands out the most like a red Ferrari. This is so out of context that she is looking for some influence.”

Tori was then heard breaking down in tears behind closed doors, saying the ongoing drama and controversy was “exhausting” her.

Jack argued, “You heard my side and I think you know Sara says it’s BS. I have never had a conversation with Sara, let alone had any ill intentions towards her.”

“You’re lucky I’m thick-skinned and strong, otherwise you’d be screwed,” Tori admitted as she continued to support her husband.

“What the girls told me last night, I don’t believe that’s true. I know how Jack feels about Sara, I’ll be very shocked if there’s any truth to that,” Tori added on camera.

“Lauren and Sara are betting this will blow up and not work, but I know what I’m doing.”

She insisted she would continue to ‘stay’ with Jack, but just hours later the ‘body-shaming’ comment seemed to be the final straw for the bride.

Married At First Sight continues on Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
