An outspoken former Married At First Sight bride alleges she lost out on a plum breakfast radio job after Channel Nine pressured the station to withdraw its offer.
Poppy Jennings, who appeared on season seven of MAFS last year, claims she was offered a six-figure position to be part of a presenting trio on Illawarra s No. 1 radio station but the deal was nixed when Nine stepped in.
The mother of two, 39, believes Nine asked the station, which is owned by WIN Corporation, to rescind the offer in response to her criticising the show publicly.

Australia s television standards watchdog has been hit with four times as many complaints about Married At First Sight compared to 12 months ago.
The Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has already received 41 official complaints about this season of MAFS - compared to just 10 in 2020.
These complaints have been referred to Channel 9, which has 60 days to respond before ACMA considers launching an official investigation into the practices.
Several former contestants have accused the show of failing in their duty of care toward female participants in recent years.
While current contestant Melissa Rawson, who was married to Bryce Ruthven and still appears to be dating him, has not accused the show of malpractice, more than 10,000 people have signed a petition on her behalf.
