Married At First Sight star forced to quit filming as she’s rushed to hospital for emergency surgery
ONE of the stars of Married At First Sight was forced to quit filming of the hit show.
The Channel 4 personality had to temporarily leave the show after she was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery.
Lauren Dunn, 32 had to separate from her husband Jono for a while after she developed a blood clot in her shoulder.
The Married At First Sight Australia star has been a big hit with fans as she starred in the eleventh instalment of the hit social experiment.
But she had to depart from the Sky Suites and pack her bags after doctors discovered the clot in her shoulder.
The PR and marketing consultant had to then fly back to Perth for an immediate operation.
She finally reached a good place with her husband Jonathan McCullough who confessed he would “miss her and her energy” as she recovered.
Lauren has since spoken out after the incident, as she revealed that the condition, “wasn’t caused by anything.”
She told 9Entertainment that the blood clots, “could’ve been there for 20 years”.
Lauren explained: “I woke up and the whole side of my body was numb and really purple. I said, ‘Something is not right’. I rang Jono – who was at the gym – and he told me to go to the doctor.”
The doctor then sent her straight to the hospital who then confirmed she needed emergency surgery to remove the clots.
But reflecting further on the incident, she revealed that worrying time brought her closer to her husband.
She admitted: “Jono was so good. He packed me an overnight bag with all my things, my head phones, all my skincare – he was so so good.”
Although he wanted to be there for her through the appointments, she told him: “Look, I’m still waiting in an emergency bed and there’s not even a chair for you to sit in – I would feel guilty making you sit there for hours”.
Although the star is not fully withdrawing from the experiment, she did reveal that she wanted to recover from the surgery surrounded by the comforts of her home
She explained: “The thought of recovering at Skye Suites while I was in so much pain, it was definitely nice to have my home comforts.”
