Taking to his Instagram Stories on Thursday, the Married At First Sight star implored his fans to ‘be kind’ after receiving hurtful DMs online.

During the open and honest discussion, recorded in the back seat of the car on the way back from Melbourne airport, Jake disclosed his biggest insecurity.
‘The thing I get bagged about a lot is my teeth,’ said the former AFL star, while pointing at his open mouth.
‘My teeth are my insecurity and I don’t smile in a lot of photos because of them,’ Jake continued.
‘I’ve even at one point considered getting them redone, but why would I give into people’s s**t?’

‘Be kind. If you’ve got nothing good to say, don’t say it at all.’
The plea came after trolls criticised the MAFS fan favourite’s singing voice.
Jake had posted several Instagram Stories of himself singing while strumming an acoustic guitar, leading multiple people to contact the reality TV star directly.
‘Omg are you tone deaf lol,’ read one hurtful DM, while another messaged Jake to tell him his ‘singing is TERRIBLE’.

Meanwhile, Jake’s ‘ex’ Beck Zemek appears to have debuted her new beau on Instagram.
The Bec Judd lookalike posted a video of the pair going snorkelling together on the weekend, after being asked by fans during an Instagram Q&A if she was single.
While she did not give away the identity of the man, she was seen holding hands with him underwater.
It comes after she left Jake heartbroken after she was busted kissing an old flame on camera during Married At First Sight’s finale, earlier this month.

‘But I’m not in a relationship. I’m a bit mortified about relationships at the moment to be honest,’ Beck explained.
During the finale episode, Beck had left Jake hurt and physically ill after she was busted kissing an old flame on camera.
Former AFL star Jake was visibly shaken while viewing the video and demanded to see it again, after Beck initially claimed it was her brother she was kissing in the clip.

During the explosive interview, Beck also revealed what her ‘husband’ Jake was really like behind the scenes.
‘I got an on-camera Jake and off-camera Jake. He enjoyed playing a really calm and nurturing person on-camera,’ she said.
‘He would say “I want to spend time with you and I want to be with you”. But as soon as the cameras are off, Jake was gone.’

She continued: ‘It was unauthentic and that’s what stirred me so much.’
Beck also revealed Jake had rejected her and refused to be intimate during the experiment.
‘I always walked around naked, invited him [into the shower] and tried to be intimate. And as soon as I would ask him to go in the shower, he’d go for a run,’ she explained.
