‘No I wouldn’t have though so, no,’ he said.

When asked if he expected such a reaction to the dating rumours, Jake said he was surprised by the ‘how big a cult following reality TV has’. 

Meanwhile, Jake has his own relationship with highly strung Beck to deal with on Married At First Sight, and things don’t seem to be going well for the pair.

Beck has rebuffed her husband’s advances, and even accused him of looking at her in a lewd manner on their wedding day.

Married At First Sight continues Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel Nine
