"Come with me on a first date," she penned at the start of the caption. In the video, Jay could be seen getting ready as she applied her makeup and then put on her outfit.

The former reality star then told fans that the date went "really, really well". She got candid in the caption, writing: "I've been let down a few times recently which has really knocked my confidence, but turns out there are still some good ones left and I actually had a really wonderful time…" Fans were quick to comment on the video clip, with many reacting to the news of Jay dating again.

While one of her friends said: "There better a date 2 need someone to take you off my hand. Love this for you hen x." And a fifth added: "We need an update jay." "Do you now haha," Jay replied, complete with a string of eye emojis. In February 2024, Jay opened up to The Sun about her split from ex Luke. "I agree with us leaving at the time that we did because the altercation between Luke and Jordan shouldn't have happened," she explained. "At the time I would have liked to have completed the experience with Luke but on reflection I'm grateful that I didn't because it showed me that not every relationship is meant to last and that me and Luke weren't right for each other." After leaving the show Jay and Luke went on holiday but she says things between them quickly changed when they returned to their respective hometowns. Jay continued: "When we left the experiment we went on holiday, everything was good and we were really strong but then things changed when we came home. "He went back to Essex and I came back to Accrington. I felt like he changed and he couldn't be bothered to put in the effort." 8 Jay Howard and Luke met and got married on MAFS in 2023 Credit: Channel 4 8 The pair sadly didn't last Credit: Channel 4

MAFS star reveals she's turned to fat jabs in desperate bid to lose weight after being bodyshamed on show and by trolls
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MARRIED At First Sight star has revealed she's been subject to "shame" after opting to use fat jabs to lose weight. The E4 favourite, who featured in the Australian version of the matchmaking series, told of her "frustration" at more traditional methods which failed to have an impact on her wellbeing. 6 A MAFS star has revealed she's turned to fat jabs in desperate bid to lose weight Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie 6 It came after Katie Johnston had been body-shamed by groom Tim Gromie on the E$ show Credit: Nine 6 Restaurant CEO Katie told how she had been hit with 'shame' due to her weight loss method Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie The auburn-haired star, 37, found fame on Married At First Sight's most recent series, where fans were quick to call out her groom Tim Gromie's cruel conduct. MAFS fans watched in horror as school teacher Tim brutally rejected Katie Johnston just minutes after they said I Do - as he insisted she was nothing like what he "would have wanted". Having pulled a producer to the side, he exclaimed: "What the f***?" He continued: "Totally not what I wanted. "It's not good. I normally go just short, blonde. petite. "Katie is like nothing that I would normally go for." After the body-shaming on screen, restaurant CEO Katie told how she was using "scientific help" for her weight loss - because "that's what it's there for." In a piece to camera filmed outside, she told fans: "I have initially started my GLP1 journey with quite a bit of shame wrapped around it. "Because I was frustrated that I couldn't do it myself and I just didn't have the capacity to figure it out on my own. MAFS' Katie breaks down in tears in upsetiting scenes with Tim "And I utilised scientific help and that's what it's there for. "So it's anything, any meds that you use to help you control parts of yourself like for example anti anxieties, I've used anti anxieties for really bad times in my life that I couldn't cope." GLP1 is a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. It also plays a role in slowing down digestion, and is often a treatment used to help Type 2 Diabetes. The star, whose show groom rudely confessed he wanted to "run away" during the experiment ultimately ended up quitting the series. Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." Yet Queensland native Katie has gained a legion of loyal fans since appearing on-air, who appreciate her cheery character and bubbly, positive personality. Though showing how the backlash towards fat jabs had hit a nerve, she said in her long clip: "OK I'm going to go on a little bit of a rant because I'm frustrated and that's what I do when I'm frustrated. "I'm over people being shamed for using GLP1 or any other method of weight loss. "Anything that people do is their choice and it's up to them and only you know your path and what got you into the position you are and the help that you need. "Only you know that. Sorry about my b****y state "But just be kind to yourself. She rounded off with the words: "So please don't let the narrative out there that it's so easy to lose weight and just eat well, just exercise well. "Just be more motivated, have more discipline - go away! Leave us alone. We're figuring it out. "We are giving ourselves breathing space to be able to implement new habits and learn new things and transition our life to a healthier life. "So help us on our journey and cheer us on instead of giving us a hard time, thank you." She captioned the video: "Dear THAT person, go away, we are all on our own path, you do you, " and one fan replied: "You are so right Katie and I love you either way and you will always be my fave girl x" A second put: "Love this message," as a third posted: "Screw them loves you are amazing and you are rocking it." One then added: "You just keep being You XOXO." Another surmised: "Just keep being you and good luck in your next wellbeing journey everyone needs little help now and again be kind to yourself and ignore the negativity of people xx" SHOW STORY Since her show stint which aired in the UK earlier this year, it emerged her groom Tim had been messaging another bride during their honeymoon. During the scenes, fans were convinced the tattooed star who had an extreme reluctance to talk about his own marriage was a producer "plant." Tim told their co-stars at the Dinner Party he felt he was making the most effort in their relationship, having struggled to find a connection with her - despite scenes showing the exact opposite playing out on screen. It left Katie's fellow bride Jamie furious as she defended Katie and branded Tim a 'gaslighter'. 6 She has opted for the GLP1 jab Credit: Instagram / itswildbykatie 6 The Queensland native suffered a torrid time on the E4 show Credit: Channel 9

Advertisement 4 A MAFS star has opened up on being mum-shamed Credit: Instagram 4 Cyrell revealed she was called out at her son's school Credit: Married at first sight / Nine The reality TV star revealed she had been sick all week and had been struggling to make a packed lunch for her child to take with him to school. Her illness even left her debating whether to bother to go and watch her son during his sports day at all after being left feeling so run down. As a result, she told how when she did manage to make it along to his school, she decided to buy him a McDonald's for his lunch after being unable to make him anything healthier. But she was soon bashed by another mum who shamed her for feeding her son fast-food during a sports day. Advertisement On Instagram, Cyrell wrote: "Today I was mummu shamed... at least that's how it felt." She then spoke to the camera, in which she said: "By the time it was lunch time, I thought, do you know what, there is a Maccas [McDonald's] down the road. "I was so sick and so yeah, I won't lie, I didn't really pack him a suitable lunch for a sports carnival. "He didn't have the carrots or a cut-up cucumber.
