Tori Adams and Jack Dunkley are on the back foot again this week when they drop a bomb at the dinner party – only for some of their Married At First Sight Australia co-stars to question whether they’re telling the truth.
“Jack and I slept together,” Tori insists to us. “Timothy [Smith] immediately said, ‘No you didn’t.’ I said, ‘Were you there? Because in the room I was in, it definitely happened.’”
This week, it’s “Homestays Week”, a chance to escape the pressures of the relationship experiment in Jack’s home town on the Gold Coast. It allows Melbourne business development manager Tori, 27, and personal trainer Jack, 34, to finally sleep together after weeks of speculation about why they hadn’t already.
“We had a nice dinner by the water, the weather was warm, it was very relaxing and it was the perfect set-up to get it done,” laughs Tori, adding that the luxurious Skye Suites, where the participants stay in Sydney, “aren’t the most romantic setting”.
Now that the couple has sealed the deal, they start discussing their future at the dinner table, declaring they are on “the exact same page”, which infuriates Perth bride Lauren Dunn, who says she wants Tori to realise who Jack “truly is”.
Tori recalls, “I said to her, ‘Are you questioning my intelligence? I’m not an idiot, so don’t treat me like one.’ These comments are from people who can’t hug their husband, can’t sleep in the same room and who hang out with their ex – they’re hypocrites.”
Tori doesn’t believe PR guru Lauren, 32, has her best interests at heart and changes her morals depending on who’s in the firing line. But none of it matters, she says, because she has Jack.
“The other participants were relentless. They went at us week after week. But Jack and I left the dinner party hand in hand every week, to the same apartment, the same room, the same bed… Jack and I will have the last laugh.”
