MARRIED At First Sight UK fans have slammed Luke Worley after he returned for the reunion dinner party and made Jay Howard cry.
Luke brutally told his ex-wife they were "not soulmates" during the reunion show, despite her still having feelings for him.
Jay struggled with her emotions as Luke told her there was no hope and she ended up bursting into tears and storming out.
After being handed the MAFS 'Honesty Box', Jay had asked her husband: "How do you feel about me right now?"
Luke replied: "When you feel like you put everything into something and then someone's told you you're not good enough..."

Jay interrupted: "No, I never said that. I never said that, Luke!"
But he continued: "It ain't right for me."
Jay then delivered the killer blow and added: "[Jay's] changed my life for the better but I don't think we're soulmates. That's the situation and it's tough."
Jay immediately let out a sob, ran out of the room and off the set of the E4 reality show.
"I can't do it, I can't do it," she cried, as her co-stars huddled round.
But incredibly, Jay returned within minutes and - much to the shock of fans - hugged Luke and began comforting HIM.
Even the experts discussed how 'sad' Luke's lack of compassion was as they watched from afar.
Charlene Douglas said to her colleagues: "I would like to have seen Luke comfort Jay because Jay is upset. Jay's saying, 'I really want this relationship and I'm grieving right now'.
"It's really sad that Jay is the one comforting Luke."
Mel Schilling, meanwhile, had also concluded: "For him to say something that is insinuating she did something hurtful to him is really just pouring salt in the wound."

Fans were horrified by what they were witnessing, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts.
One wrote: "I had high hopes for Luke as being a decent bloke but he's just another gaslighter. Jay deserves better."
Another added: "We all thought Brad was the narcissist, but Luke is so manipulative it's scary."
A third chimed in: "Why is Luke crying? #gaslightcentral."
And a forth fumed: "Omg, Luke, give Jay a hug or something, you cold ******d."
Meanwhile, Luke had already hinted that he was no longer with his wife Jay after posing on Instagram without his wedding ring.
Hours before Wednesday night's reunion show aired, he also confirmed he would be featuring in it despite being removed from the MAFS UK experiment after a bust-up with fellow show groom Jordan.
