You can't lie, Married At First Sight Australia's Jacqui Burfoot truly was the gift that kept on giving in series 12.

From crying on her wedding day because hubby Ryan Donnelly 'wasn't blond, didn't shave and didn't offer his jacket because she was cold', to secretly texting Jeff Gobbels behind her husband and Rhi Disljenkovic's back - Jacqui left EVERYONE (literally everyone) on their toes.

Her co-stars didn't know what was going on and even the experts had a million and one questions.

Fans have been divided with the MAFS star with one person tweeting, 'Jacqui just wants as much attention as she can get from the cameras. It's pathetic. #MAFSAU.'

Someone else wrote, 'I’m obsessed with Jacqui like she was born with reality TV I fear. Absolute entertainment. #MAFSAU.'

Another commented, 'She’s ridiculously childish. Was Jacqui ever in this for the right reasons or just her moment in TV.'

A fourth added, 'I honestly believe Jacqui is an actress so there’s entertainment on this show. No way she’s real #MAFSAUS.'

However in true Jacqui form she's spoken out about how she came across on the show and it seems that she's not letting it affect her.

'Some call it being unhinged,' she wrote on Instagram.

'Others call it being unfiltered, bold, raw, real, feisty & forthright. I call it trusting my intuition and being unapologetically me! ✨.'

On her jewellery Instagram account she posted a similar photo but captioned it, 'When someone tries to tell me I’m delulu... I’m like no babe, you believing this show is reality makes you delulu - get a grip! x.'

As well as crying on her wedding day and secretly texting Jeff, Jacqui also caused a stir when she burst in tears at Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias' wedding and then her marriagebecame a talking point when Ryan's bizarre x-rated comment during the lads intimacy session came to light.

Safe to say, Jacqui and Ryan are no longer together. They called time on their relationship during their final vows and in a shock plot twist, she's since recoupled with fellow groom Clint Rice and they're even engaged IRL.
