Entitled Married At First Sight star Jacqui Burfoot is slammed for accusing Jetstar cabin crew of stealing her partner's $800 jacket - before shock twist in the saga
Jacqui Burfoot has been slammed for accusing Jetsta r of stealing her partner Clint Rice's jacket. The Married At First Sight star took to TikTok this week to recount an ordeal while flying with the budget airline. She wasted no time letting her thoughts about Jetstar be known – telling followers from the start she was not a fan. 'Clint and I flew Jetstar. We never pick Jetstar, we are not fans of Jetstar because they're just budget. They do things poorly,' Jacqui said. Jacqui went on to explain that when she and Clint recently caught a flight with the airline, she was wearing her partner's Hugo Boss jacket, worth 'somewhere between $400 and $800', to keep her legs warm. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'The flight attendant came over and said, "Hey, we need to put your jacket away, can I please take that jacket from you?" And I was like, "Yeah, sure. Fine,"' she recalled. The reality bride said the couple forgot about Clint's jacket until they arrived at their hotel. 'We get off the flight, we leave with our bags, we check into our hotel and Clint is like, "F***! Where is my jacket?" And I'm like, "Oh my God, babe. The lady took it off me."' Already miffed about leaving the jacket behind, Jacqui became enraged when she called Jetstar to report the garment missing. 'The guy was like, "There was no lost property handed in today – we're going to file a case for you."' This did not sit well with Jacqui, who then accused the cabin crew of taking off with Clint's jacket. 'I was like, "f*** off. If the cabin crew have f***ing nicked that jacket, I am going to blow my brains out. I am not happy about this at all,"' she said. 'I am fuming right now. I am like, "No f***ing way. You hand that jacket in right now." God help you Jetstar, if this jacket is not returned.' Jacqui's rant drew a flurry of comments from followers, with many slamming the reality star for suggesting the airline would pilfer the article of clothing. 'As a former cabin crew, the likelihood of the crew taking the jacket is very, very slim,' one commented. 'There's no way any crew could get away with something like that. It's more likely it's been passed on to ground crew and just lost in the mix.' Another offered: 'Girl, it's your fault, you should've asked for it once landed. Proves it's not that important if you forgot. if you fly often, you know it's a safety thing!!' A third commented: 'I get the disappointment, but I feel like it's not that much of a big deal to be honest. Accidents happen.' Yet another summed up the sentiment of many with: 'Your jacket, your problem.' Jacqui returned to TikTok the following day to share a shock twist in the mile-high ordeal. This time, Clint also featured in the clip, and he was happy to report the jacket had been found. 'Jetstar called. They have got the jacket in their hands at Sydney Airport and they're going to deliver it tonight,' he said. Unlike his partner's previous spray, Clint was full of praise for Jetstar's customer service. 'They were so good, they were actually brilliant,' he said. 'The customer service was amazing , they called me twice today.' Jacqui added the reason for the delay in locating the jacket was due to the couple's high profile. 'The best news is that they said that because they recognised that they knew our names, they didn't put it with the usual lost property. They put it in the manager's office,' she said. 'I guess I was quick to judge. The jacket is still not returned yet, though.'

Sydney airport's lost property auction puts weird and wonderful on the radar
Violins, frying pans, vacuum cleaners and lots and lots of belts. The terminals of Australia's busiest airports may provide a cross-section of society, but Sydney airport's annual lost property auction gives a glimpse into the bizarre items travellers are carrying – and the traps of forgetfulness that unite us. More than 40 million people passed through Sydney airport's terminals last year, losing thousands of possessions. More than 7,000 of these items were reunited with their owners but about 2,000 others remained unclaimed, and are now being auctioned off in the fundraising drive for charity that the airport conducts each year. Much of the list of lost property is unsurprising: clothing, laptops, duty-free purchases, and the vast range of objects containing metal that many had to remove when passing through security screening. This is seen in the large range of belts on offer – more than 100, ranging from designer to others sold in bundles of threes. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email There's also plenty of tech left behind – more than 250 laptops and 200 earbuds or headphones. While there are brand new AirPods being sold in their boxes, there are other lots listing multiple pairs of the headphone, with pictures showing varying degrees of damage, questionable cleanliness, and unverified authenticity. Residents living near the airport may be interested in several other noise-cancelling headphones on offer. Then there's the jewellery. More than 400 lots are up for auction, including bundles of gold bangles, diamond and pearl rings, necklaces and watches. While all lots begin at $10, bidding on some had risen to almost $1,000 in the hours after the auction was launched on Monday. There's plenty of bargain potential, organisers say. Brand new perfumes and bottles of spirits and wines – likely purchased in duty-free shops – are relisted for sale, in their unopened state, starting at $10. This year's Sydney airport lost property auction is aimed at raising funds to pay for swimming lessons for thousands of local children. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion 'This auction is more than just a chance to score a great find, it's about giving back to our local community,' the airport's corporate affairs general manager, Josh Clements, said. The airport curfew reduces noise between 11pm and 6am but those struggling to sleep for other reasons could pick up a cheap CPAP sleep apnoea treatment device, among some of the more unusual finds. Other oddities include an Electrolux vacuum cleaner, and an unrelated, and perhaps erroneously titled, 'Hooverboard' – likely abandoned by a traveller unaware the self-balancing mobility devices had been banned from the air by many carriers. Popular items on Monday morning included an 18-carat gold bracelet, with 19 bidders pushing the price up to $600. A black Gucci bag had 14 bidders willing to pay up to $320. The auction is being conducted by Theodore Bruce Auctioneers and Valuers. Director Casi Prischi said the auction was one of its most loved events. 'People from all over Australia log in to bid, not just for the bargains but because it supports something meaningful.' The airport has kicked in $100,000 with hopes the auction can secure another $200,000 to fund swimming lessons for children in Sydney's inner west, over where planes descend on approach to the airport. Sydney airport has been auctioning off lost property for years, raising more than $1.9m since 2013. For a Guardian feature in 2024, then airport service centre manager Katrina Lee said most of the unclaimed property the airports holds was mundane – stray toothbrushes and toiletries left behind in bathrooms. But special-edition Beatles records, a circular saw, hedge trimmer and sun lounge were among the more peculiar items auctioned off in 2023. 'There are [also] some more colourful items that we find … personal pleasure items,' Lee said. 'We had one bag that was completely full of items of that nature, and the lady who rang up about it … she had no qualms about ringing,' Lee said. '[When] they're what floats your boat, you want them back.' With Australian Associated Press
