MAFS Jacqui’s ‘High-Class’ Home Exposed as $200 Airbnb Filled with Kmart Décor
Married At First Sight’s Jacqui Burfoot has been caught out in an embarrassing Homestays Week lie.
It’s been uncovered by Daily Mail Australia that the opulent Manly residence where Ryan Donnelly visited her on Monday night wasn’t owned by her, but rather it was an Airbnb rental property.
The 29-year-old jewellery store owner returned to the Northern Beaches for the episode and was filmed rolling her suitcase through the front door of what was supposedly her home.
However, the property was in fact a $200-a-night Airbnb rental.
A voiceover described the residence as ‘Jacqui’s home’, but in reality it was a two-story rental arranged by producers.
The deception didn’t end there either, as it was also a completely different home from the one shown during her wedding backstory.
According to a production insider, Jacqui’s actual living situation was deemed ‘too small’ and impractical for filming.
‘She had roommates living at her house and it was in a messy state, and she didn’t feel comfortable with it,’ a source tells Daily Mail Australia.
Ryan and Jacqui were told to avoid revealing that the structure was false and instead, act as if it truly belonged to Jacqui.
The source added the decision was ironic given Jacqui’s later criticisms of Ryan’s real home.
‘Which is pretty hypocritical because when they went to Ryan’s, Jacqui was given full freedom to attack his living conditions,’ they said.
In addition, Married at First Sight fans have pointed out that the home they were shown on the show was filled with Kmart furniture, despite Jacqui repeatedly describing herself as ‘high class’. This discrepancy has sparked debate among viewers about the authenticity of the reality TV show.
The Homestay Week aims to provide a peek into the everyday routines of Married at First Sight participants, making it seem as if viewers are residing in their real homes.
Given my own modest living space, a shared apartment in Manly, producers decided on a visually captivating option instead.
‘Her real bedroom was tiny, and the camera crew couldn’t fit in her apartment. Her roommates’ stuff was everywhere and they would’ve had to be asked to leave for filming,’ the insider added.
Despite the controversy, the episode still managed to deliver its fair share of drama.
Jacqui and Ryan had a heated discussion about Ryan’s facial hair, rekindling their persistent argument about why Ryan insisted on growing his beard instead of shaving it off.
The argument escalated in the backyard, proving that even in a dreamy Northern Beaches setting, their issues couldn’t be escaped.
In the meantime, it becomes clear that Jacqui’s visit to Ryan’s residence in Campbelltown, a suburb located in western Sydney, could potentially escalate tensions to unprecedented levels.
As a lifestyle expert, I must admit that I was hesitant to attend this gathering due to concerns about my perceived elitism potentially overshadowing the event. However, I decided to approach it with an open mind and a genuine desire to learn and connect with others.
‘He told her, “Look, if you come here, maybe think about what you’re going to say and try not to be too judgmental, because my house is clean,”‘ the insider claimed.
However, that didn’t stop Jacqui from nitpicking every detail of his home. She allegedly ‘walked through pointing out everything she didn’t like’ and even wrote a to-do list for Ryan on a whiteboard.
‘She literally wrote a list – like a teacher scolding a student,’ the source said.
Her criticisms didn’t stop there. Jacqui reportedly mocked Ryan for only having two eggs in his fridge, ridiculed his artwork, and even insulted his souvenir collection, likening his home to ‘an old person’s house’.
But perhaps the biggest insult of all?
‘She ripped into him for having just one pillow on his bed. Ryan had actually bought her a brand-new pillow before she arrived, but it still wasn’t good enough,’ the insider revealed.
