MAFS UK's Jordan claims he had unaired confrontation with Duka at reunion dinner party

Married At First Sight UK star Jordan Emmett-Connelly has said he confronted Duka Cavolli about his behaviour over Chanita Stephenson at the reunion dinner.

Jordan and Chanita, both 29, were paired up on the E4 series but ended their romance during the process – arriving at the dinner separately in the penultimate episode.

Duka, 31, whose 'marriage' to Whitney Hughes, 31, didn't last in the experiment, attracted attention for seemingly flirting with Chanita at the event, which aired on Monday.

During an exchange, he told her: "Loving the hair. Loving the eyes as well". Chanita replied: "'Is this you moving to me Duka?" He however appeared to playfully brush the suggestion off.

Jordan later interrupted the pair and Duka subsequently teased: "One man's trash is another man's treasure". The remark prompted laughter from both Chanita and Jordan.

It has now been claimed that Jordan confronted Duka about his "disrespectful" behaviour at the event, though it's been reported that the exchange wasn't broadcast.

Jordan told the Daily Mail that he got annoyed over Duka seemingly making a move on Chanita, saying: "I've still got some feelings for her. I didn't like it to tell you the truth".

Jordan said he and been through the process with her and suggested that he found Duka's approach 'frustrating' because he had considred him to be a "close friend".

Jordan said that in an unaired scene from the reunion event he told Duka to "have some respect" and added that he later received an apology from his co-star on the E4 show.

Duka - who recently said he's now dating someone who wasn't a cast member - allegedly responded to Jordan's frustration at the event: "Sorry mate, it wasn't like that".

The Mirror approached Channel 4 for comment.

A spokesperson for Duka told us: "It was absolutely nothing. Me and Jordan are good friends."
