Jess openly admitted Mick isn’t her “usual type” as he’s “older” than her and “really rough around the edges”.

“He definitely isn’t the kind of guy Jessika goes for, that’s for sure. If they’d met in real life she wouldn’t pay him any attention. She prefers big muscly guys with tatts.

“It doesn’t surprise me that she was messaging her ex. She was probably bored out of her brain,” spills a second source.

The secret communication all but confirms Mick’s fears that part-time model Jessika isn’t actually on MAFS to find everlasting love, but rather to boost her social media profile.

“She’s either 100 percent or zero… there’s no middle ground with her,” Mick admitted during their time together on their honeymoon.

He said that he and Jess got into a heated argument when he broached the subject of her reasons for being on the show.

“I’m very nervous she’s not genuine,” he said.
