She responded to backlash from fans online that her family had grilled Ridge during Tuesday’s scenes, insisting she didn’t think they had been very “harsh” on him.

Ridge, 27, has now faced claims that Jade, 26, was spotted with another man at The Star casino, sharing his surprise at the sighting before standing alongside his wife at the ‘screen.
“He handled the situation very well. I guess it would be nerve-wracking to meet someone’s family. So I feel like he was very calm and collective that day, so I was happy with the way he handled the situation.
Jade’s partner Ridge raised his eyebrows as he repeatedly used his bizarre catchphrase ‘dec’ while having lunch with his family in a newsworthy moment.
Jade’s family was baffled by her outbursts while her sister questioned her maturity.
On camera, Jade’s sister shared her doubts, saying: “She needs a mature person who’s going to take care of a child, so I don’t know, I guess we’ll see.”
She then asked Jade what she didn’t like about Ridge, with the married and single mother then admitting that his maturity had been an issue.
Jade said: “He is much better now, but at first he spoke very immaturely. He said a lot of weird words, there was such a language barrier.
The couple have had a smooth ride on the dating show so far, but newsworthy scenes on Tuesday saw Ridge criticized for being “immature” as he met Jade’s family.
Jade insisted he used slang that was much “worse” than “dec,” to which Ridge responded, “How does dogging feel?” ”, leaving Jade and her family looking unimpressed.
On camera, Jade fumed: “It’s not funny, it looks so dirty, I hate that word.”
Jade then told Ridge it was time to “grow up” as her sister wondered if Ridge would get involved in the “party life” after moving to the Gold Coast to be with her and her daughter.
Jade’s mother and sister then told the bride they just didn’t want to see her get hurt as they shared a tearful exchange and showed her their support.
