Married At First Sight star Jess O’Connor has said she was left suicidal after she found out her boyfriend had slept with her step-mum.
Jess, 31, has further detailed how she felt during those tough times when she was left contemplating suicide.
The Dental hygienist didn’t find love on the show after she was paired with Dreamboys stripper husband Pjay Finch – and didn’t have much luck with her relationship before that either.

Jess previously explained on the show that she had been with her ex, Danny, then 24, for four years and the pair even owned a house together.
He was a solid part of the family and didn’t think twice about going to bed early one night and leaving him drinking with her step-mum, Veronica, then 52.

Jess branded her as a “second mum” who had helped raise her since she was born.
She told The Sun: “My step-mum had been in my life for 25 years and she did that to me. She was like my second mum!”
The incident happened in January 2018 after a family meal out with her younger brother and sister too – who also lived there.
Jess explained to the publication how she woke up at 5am to find her partner missing from their bed.

Then when she went to go and look for him downstairs she found the dining room opened – which was only for special occasions- with “two glasses, an empty bottle of champagne, my boyfriend and step-mum’s phones, and two piles of clothes”.
Jess revealed how she “instantly knew what had happened” and could even see handprints on the table.
Her ex was asleep on the sofa when she confronted him and in shock, he pulled up her “lacy pants” instead of his own”.
During the heated debates, Danny left in Jess’ car while Veronica confessed to it all.

The MAFS beauty also shared how “traumatised” she was by what happened and then in her lowest moments recorded a suicide note.
She said it’s taken her five years to feel confident, and paid for therapy to get through it.
Jess’ dad did separate from her former step-mum and the pair have both moved on since the affair.
