Jacqui Burfoot shines in red on Instagram, celebrating her “biggest week in sales to date” at Jacqueline Lee Jewellery. But her reputation on Married at First Sight UK is in trouble. While fans cheered her style and success with comments like “Love red ❤️ stunning Jac 🔥” and “What a stunning dress!”, others weren’t so flattering in forums.
Reddit exploded after her latest MAFS episode. Viewers shared their honest thoughts on her actions during the show. “She’s mentally unwell and I kinda feel bad for her,” said one commenter. Others were less sympathetic, calling her “manipulative,” “delusional,” and even “sociopathic.” One user warned, “She grins like a Cheshire Cat when she is degrading and demeaning Ryan.”
Yet while Jacqui’s TV persona is under fire, her Instagram glows. Admirers flooded her feed with praise: “You look gorgeous Jacqui,” “Red suits you,” and “Supermodel.” The disconnect between her online success and on-screen controversies has fans asking—who is the real Jacqui?
Debate Splits MAFS UK Viewers
The MAFS community is deeply divided. Some insist Jacqui is a victim of harsh editing and poor producer oversight. “Her being on the show at this stage is simply cruel,” one Redditor noted. Another added, “She’s being exploited for entertainment value… the producers should never have let her on.”
Others disagree, insisting her manipulation is calculated. “She lies, negs, nags and begs without ever showing a pang of conscience,” one user claimed. “She may well have personality disorders—but she’s weaponizing them.” Another chimed in, “She lives for the drama and then turns on the waterworks—but the water’s been cut off.”
Viewers noted specific incidents. These included her changing Ryan’s grooming habits and causing drama at other weddings. Some drew parallels to past participants. “She reminds me of Madeleine from last year,” one fan noted, suggesting a recurring pattern of unstable casting choices.
Still, Jacqui’s supporters hold firm. “She’s not malicious, just misunderstood,” one wrote. Others noted signs of nervous laughter and possible deeper mental health issues. But with comments like “I love how f***ing mental she is… keep bringing the delulu darling,” even those enjoying the chaos admit it’s more spectacle than sincerity.
Married at First Sight UK: Selling Jewelry and Surviving Scandal
While social media is ablaze with criticism, Jacqui appears unfazed. Her brand, Jacqueline Lee Jewellery, is thriving. “Ooo la la, gorgeous dress!!! 💃🏼 congratulations gorg, keep on killing it! 💅🏼✨” read one comment. Another said it best: “Stunningly beautiful, red definitely suits you.”
Fans who once only knew Jacqui from reality TV are now celebrating her as a style icon. “Gorgeous in our Sapphire dress for hire ✨️,” one commenter wrote, while another asked, “What are you wearing to your engagement party?”—showing that despite the backlash, interest in Jacqui remains high.
Jacqui is either unfairly portrayed or just playing the reality TV game well. Either way, she’s the most talked-about name in MAFS UK right now. And with beauty, business, and buzz on her side, the final chapter in Jacqui’s story may be far from over.
