Jay today spoke out on Instagram after her car was broken into.
Fuming over the incident, she said: “To the person who broke into my car last night you’re an absolute f*****g scumbag and I hope karma comes back to bite you in the ass!!
“The police are informed and the DVLA so if you try to do anything with that log book it’ll be flagged.”
Speaking to The Sun, Jay added: “I am completely gutted and furious I can’t lie.
“The police and CSI have been round and taken swabs etc to hopefully find out who it was.
“They’ve made a right mess of my car and have stolen a few things, but thankfully nothing of much value.
“They’ve taken my logbook and vehicle registration slip, god knows what they want to do with that but we’ve alerted DVLA too.
“They’ve tipped my car upside down and rummaged through everything.
“I’m just really thankful I didn’t leave anything else in there and that the damage is mainly to the car.
“I do have a personalised reg plate so they may have targeted me because of that, who knows. What scumbags to break into someone’s car.
“But at least no one was hurt, that’s the main thing. And hopefully the police catch them and they get what’s coming to them!”
Her ordeal comes just a day after fellow MAFS UK star Holly Ditchfield revealed her own car had been broken into and “ripped apart”.
, who appeared in last year’s E4 series, after discovering the damage outside her home.
A source told us: “Holly’s car was broken into and ripped apart. She called the police and they sent out a forensics team. It happened outside her home, which is really scary.
“They didn’t take much – it looks like they were trying to hot wire it and take it. It’s completely trashed now – a write off. The whole thing has shaken her up.”
Holly now lives an influencer lifestyle with fiancé Aaron Summers and has built a following of 114,000 on Instagram.
She became a talking point on the show due to her turbulent relationship and accusations of “bullying” during filming.
Jay’s own time on the show ended abruptly when Luke was removed after punching fellow groom Jordan in a heated confrontation.
The couple later holidayed together, but their relationship fizzled out once they returned home.
Reflecting on the split at the time, Jay told The Sun: “He went back to Essex and I came back to Accrington.
“I felt like he changed and he couldn’t be bothered to put in the effort.”
