Married At First Sight star shares health update from her hospital bed after undergoing major surgery
Married At First Sight's Sacha Jones has shared a health update from her hospital bed on Instagram on Thursday after getting a nose job. The TV personality, 29, was left devastated on the show when her TV husband Ross McCarthy left her just two weeks after she moved to Manchester to be with him. Sharing a candid picture on her Stories, she showed off her bruised and swollen face after undergoing surgery. Alongside the post, she penned: 'If you gueseed (sic) nose, you guessed correct'. In separate post, Sacha uploaded a clip which saw her thanking her followers for all their kind messages. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She said: 'Guys thank you for all your DMs. I actually didn't expect to get any messages about this. 'I'm shocked about how everybody is interested. I'm at my hotel now. Little bit sore. I've been given all my medication and stuff like that. 'I have just been sleeping non stop. I will get back to you all eventually. She's just a little bit achy right now. Love you'. After Sacha's time on the show, MailOnline revealed that she was left heartbroken after husband Ross dumped her within days of the series ending. Ross told Sacha he had fallen in love with her following their TV wedding on the E4 show with the couple's marriage going from strength to strength during filming. Despite the former Miss Birmingham uprooting her life by moving from her hometown Walsall to Manchester in commitment to her marriage, Ross abruptly ended the relationship with little explanation. To make matters worse, Ross, who was the first deaf contestant to appear on the dating programme, went public on Instagram with his new girlfriend, to the shock of both Sacha and E4 producers. A TV source told MailOnline show bosses lambasted the father-of-one for his unkind behaviour in protection of Sacha, who believed their marriage would be long-lasting. An insider said: 'Sacha had an incredible experience filming Married At First Sight UK and she truly thought her marriage with Ross would work. 'She moved to Manchester to be with him but after just two weeks he went cold and ended their romance for good. 'Sacha was devastated and now watching their journey back as the show airs makes processing their breakup even harder. 'Producers weren't happy either… Ross gave away that he and Sacha were no longer together by posting photos with his new girlfriend – he had no problem flaunting his romance despite the fact it would hurt his ex-wife's feelings.' Sacha and Ross married after meeting for the first time at the altar and their bond was quickly established. The painter and decorator was patient with Sacha who told him on their wedding day she is celibate, opting to sleep on the sofa. He even won over Sacha's father by going to a gym session with the bodybuilder, which was significant given the close relationship she shares with her family. After moving into the show's apartment together, Sacha purchased a sign language book to learn more about how to communicate with Ross, who was born deaf and wears two hearing aids.

Married At First Sight star reunites with ex just 3 months after shock split
A MARRIED At First Sight UK star has reunited with his girlfriend three months after they split following the dramatic series reunion. During the latest MAFS UK reunion, it was claimed Ross McCarthy had been secretly messaging fellow show star Erica Roberts. 3 3 The Sun later revealed he'd split from his beautician girlfriend Magdalena - but it seems the couple have managed to work things out. Ross and Magda took to Instagram to share highlights from a recent romantic day out together, showing the painter and decorator topless and showing off his buff bod while they soaked up the sun. He joked: 'Out for a romantic stroll… until the bugs joined our date.' It comes after insiders told us how Ross and Madga struggled to make their relationship work previously. A source said at the time: 'Ross and Magda have gone their separate ways after failing to make their relationship work. 'He's removed all of his photos of them together from his social media, and they've both unfollowed each other.' Ross - who was paired with Sacha Jones for the most recent series of MAFS UK - skipped the explosive reunion, but that didn't stop his name cropping up. After the dramatic special aired, Sacha took to Instagram after she was accused of leaking information about an alleged fling between her Ross and Erica. In a long statement, she strongly denied that she was behind the story. "Apparently I leaked the story on Ross messaging Erica, when we was together, calling her beautiful," Sacha said. "I didn't deny it, that's true, but I wouldn't leak it. I don't care that much." Sacha described her time on the show with Ross as 'awful.' She told OK!: 'When I think of my time with Ross after the show, it's just dark. Dark. I can't think of one happy memory after the show. It was awful. The last happy memory I have is going to the first reunion together and putting on a strong front.'
