It's been two years since they both walked down the aisle and it seems that relations between fellow brides Jules Robinson and Melissa Lucarelli are not as they once were...

Warning: MAFSA spoilers ahead.

Yep, Jules may have touchingly asked Melissa to be her for-real bridesmaid on Married at First Sight Australia but it has since been revealed that the 38 year old decided to relieve her co-star of her bridesmaid duties... ouch.

Susie had a rollercoaster of a ride on MAFS. Her husband was trying it on with Jessika, she was supposedly trying it on with Jessika's husband Mick - you couldn't write this stuff.

Just LOOK at that winged liner.

On-screen, Melissa and Jules seemed thick as thieves but, reading out a savage (if you ask us) exchange of text messages between the pair on The Kyle and Jackie O radio show, it was revealed that Jules had told her former pal, "Just because I said it on a show, doesn't mean I have to do it.

"People said a lot of things on that show, but this is real life. I won't be answering any media questions about this. I just want it to blow over and it will be forgotten about."

When questioned further about her decision, the mum-of-one (to Oliver) accused Melissa of being a "s--t friend."

Something has definitely gone down here...

In the texts, Jules implied that Melissa had been talking about her behind her back but, when addressing the situation publicly, merely said, "When it got to the time, I just felt that it wasn't... it didn't feel right.

"We hadn't really seen each other and I just really wanted my close friends to be there, to be by my side, and my best friends. So that was my decision."

Shedding light on the situation from her side on the radio show, Melissa said she had been "shocked" when she found out, and added that she had to get in touch with Jules after the bride-to-be (now married) failed to tell her that she wouldn't be in the wedding party.

She said, "I have absolutely no idea what happened. I was asked to be a bridesmaid in such a public way.

"The reason she asked us [her and Heidi Latcham] was because we had seen them fall in love, and we'd formed a bond in the experiment."

Awkward...
