Married At First Sight Australia’s Jessika admits ex Dan was ‘controlling’ – after Tamara revealed his drunken rages
MARRIED At First Sight Australia’s Jessika Power has told how her ex Dan Webb was “controlling” during their relationship.
The 29-year-old reality star reacted to Tamara Joy’s claims that their former partner Dan terrified her in a drunken rage.
The bulky car broker’s off-camera outburst happened shortly after he started cheating on her with Jessika.
But she insists he NEVER showed an aggressive side during their on/off relationship after the show and they are “good friends now”.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Jessika said: “I dated Dan for a long time after the show ended. I didn’t see the aggressiveness from him and we went out on many boozy nights.
“But I wouldn’t say another woman is lying or downplay how they felt at the time.
“Dan can get quite controlling in the sense that you’re his and he wants to know what you’re doing.
“I get it. Tamara had gone out and he wanted to know where she’d been.
“I never saw a violent side to Dan, but he can be a d*** when he drinks. He can be nasty with his words.”
The Sun on Sunday revealed Tamara was removed from their shared flat after the booze-fuelled argument that was never shown on-screen.
Things kicked off between the pair on a rare day off from filming when they went drinking with some of the husbands — Mick Gould, Mike Gunner and Mark Scrivens.
Tamara recalled: “We needed a break so found a pub and had loads of beers. It was a great day.
“But Dan started to get loud and aggressive. I could see a switch flick in his head.
“It’s like his alter-ego that switches on when he drinks and he says really nasty things. He’s aggravated. I got upset by his behaviour and left him there.”
While Dan and Mick stayed and “hung with some Irish girls” Tamara and ex-army officer Mark met Mark’s sister in a different venue.
Tamara then returned to her and Dan’s apartment later that evening, after him. She said: “I started cooking eggs on toast. Suddenly he stormed out of the bedroom in his briefs like boxer Conor McGregor.
“He huffed and puffed, demanded to know what I was up to and blocked me off in the kitchen. I was holding my plate, trying to walk out, and he pushed me back and slammed the fridge door closed.

“My plate smashed on the floor. I was terrified. He’s a big guy, I didn’t know him well.
“I ran out of the apartment crying. I went to the resident producer and demanded she get me another apartment.”
The couple stayed in separate rooms for the rest of the show, until Tamara left when Dan came clean about his feelings for Jessika.
