Amber Pike finally got the chance to confront her ‘shiesty’ love rival Jessica Batten in the highly-anticipated reunion for Love Is Blind.

Netflix posted a sneak peek of the upcoming episode, showing Amber angrily calling Jessica a ‘b*tch’ for ‘throwing herself’ at her fiance Matt Burnett during conversations in Mexico.

A newly blonde Amber did not hold back as she aired her grievances at Jessica, who nodded along on occasion, seemingly agreeing with her analysis. 

‘I confronted Matt about Jessica and I said “What the hell? What’s going on here? Like what are you thinking, what are you doing, what do you want?” He told me he was trying to figure things out and to feel it out and he was like he shouldn’t have said that, that wasn’t how he meant it. I’m like, “Okay, that’s not how you meant it. I believe you.” 

‘Like that was all, like I – I trusted him. As far as I was concerned, that was nothing after the fact, so to see her throwing herself at him in Mexico? B*tch, you’re shiesty. Your so fake. Coming to my face like we were cool. You were so fake. I think you’re a very disingenuine person, and you know what, I hope seeing this you do grow from it, because that is not what the world needs –  is women that go behind people’s backs like that. 

‘You were engaged to another man that you were leading on. He was engaged, he made his choice. Anywho, so no, I’m not super happy seeing that.’

Love Is Blind is a reality TV ‘experiment’ with the aim of determining whether love can transcend the physical.

Six couples fell in love after going on blind dates in two separate pods, forging an emotional connection before ever having seen each other in the flesh.

After getting engaged, they are whisked off on a romantic holiday before moving in together, attempting to make their relationships work in the real world.

They have mere days left to decide whether or not they will make it down the aisle.

The remaining couples would then decide at the altar if they would continue as a married couple or split up.   

For those wondering who was financially responsible for the weddings, Amber revealed in an Instagram comment ‘the weddings were 100% paid for by the show.’

However, this comment seemed to contradict her actions on screen, when Amber was seen worrying about the cost of her wedding dress alterations.

A production source told Women’s Health: ‘Of course production supplies some of the basics, but because these are their real weddings, it’s up to them as to how to spend their money,’ a source told Marie Claire. 

The highly-anticipated reunion episode is set debut on Netflix on Thursday.
