He's defended his bride at very turn but Married at First Sight's Jesse, 31, is once again facing shock claims that Michelle is leading him on. 

A Woman's Day report alleges that Michelle, 32, 'has been desperately trying to remain in the series' because producers promised 'a supersize paycheck' if she does.

Although Channel Nine has denied the claims, the magazine alleges that Michelle was offered 'double the girls weekly fee of $800' earning $1600 a week as well as 'added extra bonuses' for staying with Jesse.

The magazine claims the deal came about as producers were 'desperate' to have both twins on the show but while Michelle's twin sister Sharon was looking for love'and keen to be on the show, Michelle was reportedly reluctant.

The Woman's Day report also reveals that Jesse and Michelle had a what looked like 'fiery showdown' outside Sharon's 32nd birthday party in Perth. 

'It looks like heartbroken Jesse could be catching on,' the magazine said of the alleged fight. 

However, a Channel Nine spokesperson has told Daily Mail Australia that the story is 'categorically untrue'.

Last week, while appearing on the Today show, Jesse refuted criticism by those who felt Michelle 'was not that into him'.

The Adelaide fruit and veg retailer told the Today hosts, Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson, 'I know her very well and I know that's not her intent. We're both very open with each other. We both spoke to each other.'

Lisa then questioned, 'we can see you've really tried in this relationship and you have given it everything. And on social media everyone is saying that she's not really into you.'

 But Jesse insisted it wasn't true adding, ' If she had no feelings towards me she definitely would have left.'
