Ultimate Wedding Planner fans were livid as a ‘homesick’ contestant sobbed and then quit the show after just days away from his wife
Jack struggled with the stress of the task without having his wife’s support
In the first episode, the contestants were tasked with planning a wedding taking place in an aircraft hanger underneath a Concorde jet.
With just three days to pull it all together, they hit a number of stumbling blocks along the way and at one point, it became too much for a contestant called Jack.
Jack had previously revealed how he had moved from being a wedding DJ to wedding planner alongside his wife, who he shared two children with.
But as the wedding day in the aircraft hanger continued, Jack was seen crying on the shoulder of fellow contestant Yasmin and admitting he found it had to be doing the job without his spouse by his side.
Yasmin did her best to console him and tell him he would “see them tomorrow” and that they would “be proud” of what they had achieved in such a short space of time.
After the wedding, the moment came for the judges – Sara Davies, Fred Sirieix and Raj Somaiya – to decide who would get the ‘golden invitation’ to the next wedding and who would receive blank envelopes.
The two with the blank cards had to take it in turns to plead their case to stay, and the first episode saw Jack and Shabana receive them.
Shabana went first before Jack stepped up to say his piece.
He said: “For me, weddings are all about love and that’s why I love weddings.
“Seeing the feedback from Sammy and Lewis then, I know they loved it and that means a lot to me.
“One thing I love more is my family and between my family and the commitments of all the weddings I do outside of this, I don’t feel I can give this 100 per cent going forward. So I’m going to take a step back.”
However, his decision did not go down well with some viewers, with one writing on Twitter: “C’mon, Jack! You’ve been given an opportunity of a lifetime, and you’ve no umph in you whatsoever. It’s 3 days, not 3 weeks.”
Another added: “Jack would be in the spare room for the foreseeable if I was his wife and he’d done that! Sap.”
A third tweeted: “Jack is acting like they’ve sent him to Outer Mongolia for 7 years? F*** sake man.”
Meanwhile a fourth raged alongside a picture of Jack: “Wet wipe of the year 2023.”
Jack told the judges he was taking a step back to focus on his family and weddings he and his wife had booked in already
Ultimate Wedding Planner continues on Tuesday, August 15 at 9pm on BBC Two.
