In an explosive finale, Married At First Sight fans saw Jake Edwards and Beck Zemek at the centre of a secret cheating scandal – and it was all caught on camera.
WATCH BELOW: Mafs’ Beck Is Caught Out Kissing A Mystery Man
In Sunday night’s episode, Jake and Beck took to the experts’ couch, where a video was played of Beck when she left the experiment to go back home to Perth, to check on her sick dog Oscar.
In the video, Beck was filming a diary cam when her phone fell to the bed, and then a man could be heard entering the room – to which the camera happened to catch them kissing right in the corner of the frame.
With his face blurred-out, Beck originally claimed that it was her “brother” who she was kissing, but then later admitted it was an “old burn” who helped her transport Oscar around.
“Emotion sparked and we shared a kiss,” Beck said in the episode.
Following the episode airing, Beck’s MAFS co-star Book Nile has taken to Instagram to come to her defence, writing a long message about the scandal.
“Tonight those of you who follow mafs will have seen what was revealed in regards to beck and the video of the kiss,” Booka wrote.
“In response to some of the vile sh** I have seen online since the episode aired, I am reaching out to ask those who read this to please PLEASE leave beck alone.”
Booka went on to say that the show “did not show the beck I know”, and that Beck has given her and fellow brides Beth and Alana, “unwavering support, love and strength”.
“I am by no means saying that beck didn’t make a mistake here. I am simply asking that you approach this situation with some basic human compassion,” she wrote.
Booka added that while she is not “defending” all of the choices Beck has made along the way, she asked viewers to “please remember that she is a human being”.
“Beck has had to endure a level of cyber bullying and cruelty from the public that I cannot even comprehend,” she wrote.
She went on to write that many MAFS participants over the season have had to “endure the same vile and often violent online abuse that I’m seeing beck receive”.
“Remember that no matter how well you think you’ve got a read on a person by watching them on tv, at the end of the day you don’t know them…especially not well enough to justify abusing them, degrading them, and actively subjecting them to horrific online commentary and abuse,” she said.
“I know beck. I know her better than anyone who’s based their opinion of her purely off this show. She deserves better than this. Please be kind,” she ended the message.
Meanwhile, Beck has shared her first Instagram post since the bombshell finale, but there was no mention of what had happened.
The reality star uploaded a photo of herself posing with her back to the camera on Sunday night.
“Wishing everyone nothing but the best, in their search for love,” she wrote alongside a heart emoji.
