Jay was married to Luke Worley in the hit series of MAFS UK back in 2023, and was notable as the show’s first disabled contestant.
She was born without part of her arm and is a disability advocate and a charity ambassador for Reach, a UK limb difference charity.
A source has told The Sun: “Jay is in the mix to have another shot at love.
“She was very popular with viewers, who loved her feisty yet vulnerable nature, and while things didn’t work out with Luke, she proved to be a very memorable bride.

“The final line-up is still to be confirmed at the moment, but it’s looking promising for Jay.”

The pairs will spend half of the experiment in the UK before flying to Australia. Each couple is forced to decide which one of them will move to the other side of the world to make their marriage work.
Channel 4 entertainment boss Steve Handley said: “These eight well-loved MAFS singles didn’t find lasting love the first time, but they haven’t given up – and neither have we.
“Everyone deserves a second chance at love and this time they’re saying ‘I do’ to a stranger on the other side of the world, risking absolutely everything for another shot at getting it right.

The UK and Australian versions of Married At First Sight
Last week, we revealed that Emma Barnes, who shot to fame on the 2024 series of MAFS UK during which she was partnered with Caspar Todd, is also set to appear on the spin-off.
An insider said: “MAFS UK fans fell in love with Emma when she starred on the show in 2024.
“She had a difficult time with her husband, Caspar, who told her he wasn’t attracted to curvier women, and watching how Emma dealt with this blow made her a firm favourite with viewers.
“While she and Casper didn’t work out, Casper has gone on to get married in real life, and now hopefully Emma will get her shot at a happy ending.
“She has had meetings with Channel 4 bosses about starring on Second Marriage At First Sight, which will see her paired with an Australian groom.
Our source added: “The final casting line-up hasn’t been decided yet, but Emma has been in talks for weeks and the show producers love her – they think audiences will be desperate to see her try and find love again.”
