Married At First Sight bride Poppy Jennings left viewers fuming after she fled her wedding reception during last night’s season seven premiere episode.

WATCH: MAFS’ Poppy Jennings breaks down at wedding with Luke Eglin

The self-deprecating single mum appeared to capture viewers hearts at the beginning of the show with her witty one-liners and heartbreaking retelling of her marriage breakdown.

However, by the end of the episode, fans had labelled the 38-year-old “cold” and “insensitive” for abandoning FIFO worker Luke Eglin, 39 at their wedding reception after freaking out at the prospect of being separated from her two-year-old twin boys during the Nine experiment.

One person wrote: ‘Poppy is seriously insensitive and selfish towards Luke’ while another shared a meme of Disney villain Ursula and added: ‘Poppy seems cold’.

Another shared a meme from the movie Bird Box, showing actress Sandra Bullock blindfolded, writing: ‘Poppy out there doing her best Bird Box to avoid eye contact with Luke’.

‘New drinking game Have a drink every time poppy mentions she has kids. You’ll be blind in 2.5 minutes’.

Someone else added: ‘Anyone who was stupid enough to play the ‘”take a swig every time Poppy mentions her kids” is now comatose’.
Another tweeted: ‘Poppy is a f**king drainer…. she could suck the life out of a Wiggles concert’.

Last night, viewers watched as Poppy suffered a meltdown while exchanging vows with Luke.

“I just keep thinking to myself, what the f–k are you doing?” Poppy revealed as she was prepping for the event.

“This is the most petrified I’ve ever been in my life,” she added, admitting that she’d been crying non-stop after saying goodbye to her two-year-old twins.

“It’s only been one day and I’m already really upset about it,” she confessed.
