She may have packed her bags on Monday’s episode, but Poppy Jennings actually returned to Married At First Sight several times after splitting from Luke Eglin.
The 38-year-old photographer, who has publicly blasted the experts for pairing her with Luke, rejoined the cast for a girls’ night on November 26, eight weeks after quitting during Intimacy Week.
She then reunited with her ex-‘husband’ for the reunion episodes, which were filmed on January 15 and 16.

In Daily Mail Australia’s exclusive footage, Poppy can be seen crying during a tense conversation with a producer at the girls’ night in Glebe, Sydney.
‘Poppy stormed off in tears after all hell started breaking loose between the women,’ an onlooker said.
‘She spent time alone away from the cameras making a phone call, before a producer sat with her and calmed her down. Things got quite tense.’

It wasn’t until the MAFS reunion on January 15 that Poppy and Luke came face to face for the first time since splitting up in September.
Luke looked downcast as he arrived at the studio, where all of the season’s couples were welcomed back for a debrief with the relationship experts.
On Tuesday, Poppy claimed that a ‘controversial’ incident had occurred with Luke during filming in September but she ‘isn’t allowed to talk about it’.

Hours after their final scenes aired on Monday, Poppy accused Luke in a lengthy Facebook post of making her feel ‘uncomfortable’.
She claimed there were incidents that happened during filming that were ‘too controversial’ to be shown on television.
‘I couldn’t say what was happening behind the scenes, as it was too controversial, so let’s just play her ugly crying and whinging over her kids,’ she wrote.
‘F**k, I’d probably hate me too! From what I heard that’s all they play of me!’

Luke has since responded to Poppy’s extraordinary claims about their break-up, saying he wishes her well and won’t be taking part in a public slanging match.
He told The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday: ‘I am not going to make any comments because, honestly, the best way to react is not to react.
‘To be honest, Poppy is a good person and the best of luck to her. I am not going to comment on anything because it is not worth it, it really isn’t.

‘Honestly, she just needs to move on like I have and that is it. We are finished on the show and that is as far as it goes.’
