Married At First Sight's Jacqui Burfoot requests free flowers from followers - after TV bride was busted posing as her own fan in latest social media gaffe
Married At First Sight's Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice have asked their followers to send flowers after the memorable TV bride made an embarrassing online gaffe. On Wednesday, the newly engaged couple took to Instagram to direct their combined 130,000 fans to a florist in their state of Tasmania. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. If anyone wants to send us flowers anytime @westtamarflowers have our address on file!!" Jacqui and Clint wrote in the caption of a video with the couple's dogs.

The request came after Jacqui was caught red-handed posing as her own fan when she asked her followers to buy her a coffee. The former lawyer recently downloaded the app Buy Me A Coffee, which allows content creators to receive fan donations for a cup of the liquid gold. MAFS season 10 groom Harrison Boon later shared a screenshot of her Buy Me A Coffee account, where the Kiwi asked her followers to donate a minimum of eight dollars - $2.50 more than the national average for a cup of coffee. However, Jacqui's request did not appear to resonate with her fans, as her account had only one supporter, Jacqui herself, at the time of writing. "Jacqui has downloaded the app where her fans can buy her a coffee. But no one would buy Jacqui a coffee for $8 because, who in their right mind would," Harrison said on TikTok. "So, Jacqui decided to become a supporter of herself, and what did Jacqui's message to herself say, you might ask?" "Jacqui writes, in the third person, to herself, 'Thank you for all the laughs. You were our favourite bride of all time. Never a dull moment'." Last month, revealed Jacqui and Clint asked media to pay them up to $500 despite having "several millions" worth of assets. The bride-to-be said the couple had been "slammed" by the media and decided to charge $100 for a comment and up to $500 for an interview.

Since her tumultuous relationship with TV husband Ryan Donnelly ended, Jacqui has expanded her hip pockets through her personal website links. The website lists a Tasmanian PO Box for correspondence and contains a link to her jewellery business for "collabs." The 30-year-old also sells Cameos to fans and increased her price for a video to $111.09 from around $30. Ryan Donnelly reacts to Jacqui's final vows.

From 2008 through 2014, Clint won around $43,000 on the PGA Tour Canada and competed in other golf tournaments. Jacqui and Clint gained national attention when they officially confirmed their couple status during the penultimate episode of MAFS season 12. About four months later, the professional got on one knee to present Jacqui with a $30,000 5-carat ring from Simon Curwood Jewellers.

Controversial Married At First Sight star Jacqui Burfoot is caught out making embarrassing online gaffe
Married At First Sight star Jacqui Burfoot has been caught red-handed making a rather embarrassing online gaffe. Jacqui, 29, became known as one of the most controversial brides in recent MAFS memory due to her tumultuous relationship with ex-Ryan Donnelly. And now Jacqui has been busted posing as her own number one fan by a fellow Married At First Sight star. Harrison Boon, who starred on the 2023 season, took to TikTok this week to call out the jewellery maven for supporting her own fan funding campaign. 'She's [Jacqui] downloaded this app called Buy Me A Coffee,' Harrison began the clip. Continuing, the reality star gave viewers the low-down on the platform, explaining that it was a 'fun and easy' way for fans to support their favorite stars. 'Fans being the important word here,' Harrison added cheekily. He then went on to share a screenshot of Jacqui's Buy Me A Coffee page which is calling for a minimum donation of $8 - a tad higher than the national average of $5.50 for a cup of joe. It appears that Jacqui's coffee request has not resonated with fans. At the time of publishing, the page only had one follower - Jacqui herself. 'Jacqui has downloaded the app where her fans can buy her a coffee. But no one would buy Jacqui a coffee for $8 because, who in their right mind would,' Harrison said. Harrison then pointed out that Jacqui herself had commented on the page in an effort to drum up hype. 'So, Jacqui decided to become a supporter of herself and what did Jacqui's message to herself say, you might ask?' he said. 'Jacqui writes, in the third person, to herself, "Thank you for all the laughs. You were our favourite bride of all time. Never a dull moment."' Harrison Boon , who starred on the 2023 season, took to TikTok this week to call out the jewellery maven for supporting her own fan funding campaign Barely able to contain his laughter, Harrison added that this incident may just be the tipping point for the controversial reality star. Jacqui's funding faux pas comes after she and fiancé Clint Rice revealed intimate details about when they plan on tying the knot, as well as exciting baby news. The happy couple, who got engaged during a MAFS viewing party early last month, took to Instagram to answer some burning questions from their fans. When one follower asked if the pair had set a wedding date, Jacqui revealed they are hoping to tie the knot early next year, before revealing they are already talking about having children. 'We haven't set a wedding date yet, but we're hoping it will be between January and March next year,' she said as the couple sat on their couch together in Clint's lavish Tasmanian home. 'We're actually ready for kids and babies. Personally, I want to get married before I get pregnant. I don't want to be dealing with the drama of being pregnant and having a wedding dress be altered throughout my pregnancy. 'We're very keen to get married ASAP.'
