Love Is Blind has served up a bunch of amazing and WTF moments since it launched on Netflix three weeks ago, but none of them seemed to shock as much as the time Jessica Batten allowed her dog to drink wine straight out of her glass… then continued drinking it.

The 34-year-old, who let’s face it, has absolutely made the show this series, was seen talking to fiancé Mark Cuevas about their future together and if they could last – only to stop to allow labrador Payton to drink her wine.

She then proceeded to keep drinking it herself – and the moment went viral, with Jessica admitting that even she wasn’t quite sure why she allowed it.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the star said: ‘I definitely have never done that before; I won’t do that again.

‘I love my dog more than anything and that was not something I would ever recommend anyone to do. I think I was just really uncomfortable. I don’t even remember doing it.

‘I don’t know why I did that but it was definitely unnecessary for sure.’

Jessica, whose boozy moments made for some eye-opening and cringeworthy moments the bonkers TV series delivered over the course of the nine episodes, also said that she wasn’t entirely happy with her antics.

‘I think there’s a reason that there’s sometimes alcohol around during these reality shows,’ she added. ‘Sometimes you loosen up and these moments can kind of come out.

‘I really wish that I would have been better about the drinking for me. I was really uncomfortable and so I had a few moments where I overdrank.’

The finale episode is now up on Netflix, and reveals whether Jessica and Mark make it down the aisle after a whirlwind four weeks together that started with them getting engaged before even meeting.

Since then, the will-they-won’t-they series has become a hit across the world – not least due to Jessica, who made no secret she was still a little hooked on another suitor, Matt Barnett.

With Barnett getting engaged to Amber Pike instead of Jessica, it made for some uncomfortable viewing as she continued to stake her claim – causing a confrontation at their bachelorette.

Want to know who made it down the aisle? We’ve got you covered – but warning: spoilers lie ahead.

Love Is Blind is available now on Netflix.
