MAFS UK star sparks concern as he shares hospital bed snap in oxygen mask
A MARRIED At First Sight UK star sparked concern as he shared a snap taken in a hospital bed.
The MAFS UK contestant – who took part in the most recent series – had fans rushing to comment on the photo, which showed him hooked up to an oxygen mask.
Matt Pilmoor took to Instagram to share the worrying photo, but was quick to reassure fans that it was a throwback to 2022.
Sharing the photo alongside one taken of him in the gym, he wrote: “Believe it or not if you swipe these pictures were less than 24 hours apart in 2022.
“This was one of the scariest moments in my life. Just before the best year of my life In 2023!
“Just when I thought life was good it came crashing down in less than 24 hours. I did a photo shoot and went home that night to this.”
Matt, who found love with Shona Manderson on MAFS UK last year, continued: “Due to not taking care of myself and letting depression get the better of me I ended up having a SVT [supraventricular tachycardia].
“I woke up with my heart beating at 286 BPM I was rushed to hospital thankfully with a lot of work the nurses got my heart back down to normal over 8 hours of trying. I was then let out the next day.”
Matt added: “This scare put my life into a direction that I’m so thankful for. Just remember when you think you have it all and things going right something round the corner can just throw you off.”
Fans rushed to comment, with one writing: “Bloody hell dude, glad you got through it.”
And another said: “Life is far too short and anything is around the corner…so live love and be happy.”
Matt and Shona got together after their respective MAFS UK marriages broke down.
He had originally been paired with Adrienne Naylor while Shona was seen saying “I do” to Brad Skelly.
And it seems things are already serious as the couple previously opened up about tying the knot.
Shona told OK! Magazine: “Yeah, we’ve spoken about getting married. Matt has said he will wear a kilt because my family are Scottish.
“We would get married here in the UK and have an amazing honeymoon, maybe in Bali. We’ve spoken about engagement rings, we just need the money first.”
