It took precisely one day of Married at First Sight‘s “Intimacy Week” for participant Poppy to pack her bags.
The mother-of-two left the experiment behind on Monday night’s episode, telling producers she missed her two-year-old twins.
Luke was devastated. And Australia was devastated for him.
Side note… Watch episode one of MAFS Experts: Uncut. Post continues below.
Viewers were convinced there was more to Poppy’s decision than explained – i.e. she actually just didn’t like Luke.
Which – as has now been revealed – is right.
“I’ve said from the beginning that I’m not going to stick around for something that isn’t going to be absolute true love,” Poppy told Channel Nine in an interview released on their YouTube channel. “It would have been like flogging a dead horse and it would have become so much more toxic.
“I have no regrets,” she added.
“He just annoyed the sh*t out of me constantly,” Poppy said of her TV husband Luke. “He was so overly positive. I was clearly struggling at times and he was so positive about it and that just made me want to throw him down a staircase.”

I just read the other article about Poppy's deleted FB post where she talks about how Luke was a "complete dickhead" behind the scenes and now in this article, she's saying they got along better off camera. Which is it?
He may have been overly positive but she was overly negative and selfish.. She wasn’t ready for this. It was obvious and I wish she had walked away before screwing everyone else especially luke around. It wasn’t fair. And she was generally overreacting so on that she was right. He was genuine and trying and she wasn’t into him, she said he was a nice guy but clearly wasn’t attracted to him so it was never going to work.
