MAFS’ Tasha reveals husband Paul ‘saved her’ after she hit rock bottom and ‘cut herself off from family’
MARRIED At First Sight UK star Tasha Jay today revealed how her husband “saved her” after she hit rock bottom and “cut herself off from family”.
The 25-year-old took part in last year’s series of the E4 show and tied the knot with Paul Liba.
In a worrying post about her mental health, the reality star wrote: “The past week I’ve been in the worst place mentally and completely shut myself off from my friends, family, and social.”
The candid message went on: “Mental health is no joke and I seriously didn’t see myself beating it.
“All of now I’m not 100% however, about an hour ago, I received a text saying, ‘open your door’.
“Paul knew I wasn’t right and drove up to Leeds just to make sure I was alive.
“I can’t say how grateful for him and my friends and family.
“The moment I opened the door I burst into tears I had no idea he was coming and this is the first time I’ve smiled in days.”
Tasha’s fans will be pleased to know that her husband Paul is looking after her, and supporting her through this tough time.
The pair are still going strong and remain very loved up.
In a post last month, they captioned the pictures: “I choose you now , tomorrow & forever .”
Throughout their MAFS series, Tasha and Paul were the strongest couple, and were quick to tell each other “I love you”.
Meanwhile, Tasha previously revealed how viewers didn’t get to see her whole story during the experiment, and she was “devastated” her diabetes was edited out of the show.
The reality star has type 1 diabetes and said her condition wasn’t shown in the final edit of Married at First Sight, which she is “really sad” about.
“I got filmed taking my insulin and checking my blood sugar,” she told BBC Newsbeat. “And I don’t know why it didn’t get shown, it does really upset me.”
Tasha was diagnosed at aged two, and said people have asked why that part of her was hidden on the show.
“I’m like ‘I didn’t hide it’,” she said. “For whatever reason they haven’t shown it, which really upsets me because diabetes is a part of my story.”
During her stint on the programme, Tasha had a rocky time with some of the other brides, including a feud with co-star Erica Roberts.
In a recent Q&A on Instagram one fan asked: “How would you describe yourself different from portrayal on MAFS?”
Tasha said: “There is far more to me than just being argumentative.
“I’m a woman who can hold her own that’s all. But I’m not just that, I am so caring, protective and nurturing. I choose my kids over everyone and everything.
“I will always help anyone who needs it and I just love to take care of people.
“I promise I’m not a bitch.
“And I refuse to be made out as the stereotypical black girl.”
Tasha and Erica clashed when half of the couples went to a spa retreat, which later resulted in Tasha calling Erica a “tramp”.
Erica fumed: “You’ve been in here five seconds and called me a tramp.”
Tasha shot back: “Because you’ve disrespected me again.”
Despite that, the girls have now made up and are pals
