John isn’t the only Bachelor In Paradise family member who captured the attention of viewers on Wednesday.

Kiki Morris’ mum, Mary-Anne, emerged as an unlikely hero during the episode.

Fans rallied behind the 32-year-old’s mother after she gave Ciarran Stott, who’s been dating Kiki on the show, a major grilling.

Ahead of their one-on-one conversation, Ciarran, 26, was confident he’d be able to ‘charm’ Mary-Anne, but he quickly discovered that wasn’t the case.

Mary-Anne criticised Ciarran’s bad behaviour on the show, slamming him for hooking up with other girls and failing to tell Kiki about it.

‘It’s a real dog act, actually. Do you think she deserves that?’ Mary-Anne asked the shaken reality star.
