James Susler accuses ‘wife’ Joanne Todd of cheating with Jake Edwards on Married At First Sight

Joanne Todd took Jake Edwards’ photo to bed with her on Wednesday’s episode of Married At First Sight.

The 39-year-old barber climbed into bed alongside ‘husband’ James Susler clutching Jake’s photo after he accused her of having an affair with the former footballer. 

After ranking Jake, 32, above James in terms of attractiveness, the upset businessman asked Joanne why she’d rated his fellow MAFS groom above him.

‘Jake is first because I like his mind and how he is, and when I had a conversation with him, it was just easy,’ she explained.

‘I didn’t feel like I had to think before I spoke, we were on the same wavelength kind of thing.’

An upset James, 44, confessed he ‘liked Jake until now’, and said Joanne’s ranking had made him ‘feel a little bit insecure’.

The couple later got into an argument about it, with James saying he was worried after Joanne told him, ‘Jake wouldn’t go for a girl like me anyway.’

‘Why would you say that? Are you trying to say that if Jake went for you, you’d capitalise on this opportunity?’ he asked.

‘She keeps talking about Jake, she keeps wandering out of the room, going missing for half an hour, an hour. I don’t know where she is.

‘It just gives me reason to question her, doubt her, second guess her, and she’s not trustworthy.’ 

James then sat down with Joanne for a ‘chat’, asking her outright if she was cheating with Jake.

‘You’re actually making me feel very insecure, and I don’t appreciate it… You’re being a bit shady,’ he told her.

'She keeps talking about Jake, she keeps wandering out of the room, going missing for half an hour, an hour. I don't know where she is,' said James

‘As far as I know, you could be f**king in Jake’s room, flirting with Jake.’

A disbelieving Joanne insisted she’d only ever had ‘a 10-minute conversation with Jake’, and would never cheat.

‘You’re making things up that aren’t happening. Stop making me look like a bad person when I haven’t done anything wrong, James,’ Joanne told him.

Added James: ‘Your actions make me feel like I can’t trust you. You just need to earn my trust. Because right now, you don’t have my trust.’

A furious Joanne then told James she’d ‘sit in here like a good little wife and shut the f**k up and not go anywhere or talk to anybody’.  

After later working things out, James and Joanne were able to laugh about the whole situation.

'Your actions make me feel like I can't trust you. You just need to earn my trust. Because right now, you don't have my trust,' he told her

As they climbed into bed, Joanne pulled out Jake’s photo and jokingly told James: ‘Good night to you and good night to him.’

Her prank prompted James to burst out laughing, before telling Joanne: ‘He’s so cute! I just want to kiss him.’

He then gave Jake’s photo a kiss, before handing it back to Joanne. 

'You're making things up that aren't happening. Stop making me look like a bad person when I haven't done anything wrong, James,' Joanne told him
