Jessika Power has recalled her turbulent childhood with her former drug addict mother, Melinda Mackenzie.
The Married At First Sight star told The Daily Telegraph that she 'saw a lot of things that a child should never see'.

'I saw my mother being abused by the various men that came and went. There were times where there were dirty needles left around the house.
'I stayed down a year because my mum never really got me to school.'
Jessika says that while she does not think her mother is a 'bad person' the pair no longer talk.
