A Married At First Sight star appears to have taken aim at JJ Slater - days after the former reality contestant confirmed his romance with model Katie Price.

Recently, the 31-year-old Fashion Brand Owner, who hails Essex, shared loved-up snaps with the mother-of-five on their first vacation since going public with their relationship. JJ and Katie, 45, were pictured cosied up together in their skiing gear on the slopes in Bulgaria. Although JJ struggled to find love on the hit E4 reality show, his romance with Katie appears to be heating up.

Earlier this year, rumours emerged that the couple had been secretly dating after being spotted together at a bar in Newcastle. Things haven't been easy for JJ in recent months following his two failed attempts at romance on Married At First Sight.

The 31-year-old was first paired with blonde beauty Bianca Petronzi on the show, and then Ella Morgan. JJ had been open about his feelings towards Bianca from the start and confessed that she wasn't his usual type.

However, his fake marriage with the 29-year-old hair extension specialist came to a bitter end once it was revealed that JJ had been texting Ella behind her back. JJ and Ella were able to enter the experiment as a new couple following advice from the experts. Despite this, viewers and his co-star slammed the star for being unfaithful to Bianca during the process, but JJ later apologised for his actions.

After the cheating scandal was played out on screen, Bianca admitted it was a "hard watch" and later wrote on Instagram: "Tonight was the first time I witnessed Ella and JJ meeting up behind my back as I wasn’t even aware this scene happened. Relieving the experience is overwhelming and witnessing things I didn’t know hurts."

Now, contestant Nathaniel, who also appeared on the show, has taken a swipe at the former reality star as he cosied up to Bianca in a recent Instagram snap. Planting a kiss on his friend's cheek, the 36-year-old branded Bianca, 29, a "real one."

He added: "ALWAYS LOOK 4 THE LIGHT IN THE DARK." Katie, who split with Carl Woods at the end of last year, has reportedly already introduced JJ to some of her children.

"Katie’s already introduced JJ to her youngest kids," a source told The Sun: “It’s so important to her that he gets along with them as they’re a huge part of her life." The insider added: "They’ve been talking for a while but it seems like it’s already getting serious. Katie has spent time in JJ's hometown in Essex and has already met his friends. She's got a reputation for falling hard and fast and so far it looks like things will be no different with JJ."
