MARRIED At First Sight's axed groom Luke Worley has dubbed arch-rival Jordan Gayle a "scumbag" after claiming he deliberately targeted his bride when she was "vulnerable."
The Essex lad, 31, spoke out on TOWIE star Jordan Brook's YouTube series, , after scenes showing his programme eviction were aired.
Luke was paired with Jay in the matchmaking experiment, with the Married At First Sight duo previously hailed the show's golden couple.
Yet things turned awkward after Luke called out Jay's "people pleasing" tendencies and lack of desire to "call him out."
In a chat with the lads, he mentioned the discord, before saying "if you could rob a bank you would" - suggesting if something could be got away with, it would happen.
Last week, viewers witnessed Jay in tears as his comment re-surfaced, before the experts called time on their stint on the show on Monday, after it was revealed Luke had punched Jordan.

Fans have previously raged over Luke and Jordan's spat, branding it "embarrassing."
In the candid YouTube chat, businessman Luke spilled the beans on Jordan and hammered home the fact they "f***ing hate each other."
He said: "We went to the retreat, and this is how I know he is a scumbag ..."
Luke then addressed a medical issue which forced him to leave the dinner party at the retreat prematurely, and explained: "As soon as I left, basically Jordan twisted it, saying that I said if I could cheat and get away with it I would do with Jay

"He made sure, just as I went," before TOWIE's Jordan exclaimed: "As a man's man, he has dropped you in it."
Luke replied: "Not even dropped me in it, he has twisted it."
He added: "He has said something totally out of context to Jay, made her cry, made her upset, she leaves the dinner party in tears it all kicks off.
"While she is vulnerable by the way without her husband.
"He waited for me to go - he wouldn't have said that with me being there.
"He knows it's going to cause drama because I wasn't there - so she is an easy target to pick on."
He then accused Jordan of trying to "ruin" his relationship before promising: "Trust me if someone upsets my missus they are going to get a slap."
Producers were reportedly left with no choice but to drop Luke after the physical confrontation.
The bust-up also brought the curtain down on Jay's time on the show - as she was forced to leave courtesy of her husband's antics.
A show insider told : "Luke and Jordan struggled to get along from the moment they met, but no one was expecting them to clash like they eventually did."
A Channel 4 Spokesperson said: “The wellbeing of cast and crew is our utmost priority at all times throughout production and beyond.
