EXCLUSIVE: Secret meet ups and the 'sexual gesture' cut from TV: The truth about Married At First Sight's Jessika Power and Nic Jovanovic ...after she propositioned the groom
Jessika Power unsuccessfully propositioned Cyrell Paule's 'husband' Nic Jovanovic on Wednesday's episode of Married At First Sight.
And despite Nic, 28, abruptly dismissing the 26-year-old's advances, Daily Mail Australia can reveal the reality of the scene was very different.
'Jessika was coerced into having that conversation with Nic by two producers after they'd spent weeks growing close,' claims a show insider.

'The rumour that had been going around about them rubbing their legs under the dinner table was true, so producers gave them this opportunity to address it.'

'It's as if they all conspired to set Jessika up in that scene,' the insider adds.
After Nic had turned her down and expressed his loyalty to Cyrell on camera, the source claims he then made a very 'sexual gesture' towards Jessika.
The show insider adds: 'As he was walking away, Nic turned back to Jess and held two fingers up to his mouth while sticking his tongue between them.'

Last week, NW magazine claimed that Nic and Jessika had previously enjoyed a 'secret elevator hook up' away from the cameras.
'I'm pretty sure one of them hit on the other one and then that's sort of where the flirtation started,' a source told the publication.
During Wednesday's episode, Jessika confessed to co-star Martha Kalifatidis that she was 'sexually attracted' to Nic.

After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Nic then responded: 'There's nothing I would do to jeopardise my marriage.'
