MAFS star sparks concern as she misses boozy reunion bash and reveals she’s been in hospital
MARRIED At First Sight star Laura Vaughan sparked concern last night after missing the latest cast reunion party.
Favourites like Sacha Jones, Nathan Armstrong, Polly Sellman and Lacey Martin partied the night away at the boozy bash, posting pics and videos on social media.
Finance manager Laura, 36, who starred in the 2023 series, took to Instagram to explain her absence from Trinity Buoy Wharf.
Sharing a glam picture from last year’s bash and writing: “Very sad to be missing out on a chance to attend tonight’s event with my MAFS family but I’m recovering from a little op and currently on strict bed rest.
“Sending love to the whole team. Have the best night.”
Laura gave her expert analysis throughout the latest series as The Sun’s MAFS columnist.
During her series she was married to Arthur Poremba but the relationship came to a dramatic end in the series finale when she gave her hubby his ring back.
She pulled no punches in her assessment of this year’s final couples, questioning while Polly and Adam were being forced to be friends, while branding mechanic Kieran wasn’t ready for the MAFS experience.
As the drinks flowed last night, show expert Mel Schilling made a speech and fashion icon Gok Wan even made a guest appearance.
The room was decked out in purple lighting, a glitter ball DJ set and a huge wedding cake was very on brand.
Even some past faces made an appearance including last year’s Tasha Jay – who has recently broken up with groom Paul Liba, Erica Roberts and TV star Ella Morgan to include a few.
But, fans were quick to notice one bride from this season who was not in attendance – 30-year-old Charlie Curtis.
Charlie had a very difficult MAFS journey when her and partner Eve Reid got into many explosive rows on the E4 show despite having a perfect wedding day.
The pair’s relationship only continued to go downhill when Charlie threw her ring away after a heated row leading Eve to not move into the apartment with her wife as is traditional on the show.
Even though the couple made it through the first commitment ceremony, they decided to call it quits for good and both left the experiment.
Despite Charlie appearing on the MAFS on-screen reunion her absence from this party was noticed by many.
Taking to Instagram stories to answer fans questions, Charlie admitted: “I had quite a few people ask me this question and I don’t really know.
“A lot of it was to do with my story being over, obviously we all know who (referring to ex-wife Eve) doesn’t want to be involved in anything. Basically didn’t even want to be involved in anything when she was there and we were married, so my journey was kind of cut short due to someone else not taking part.
“But apparently my story was done and dusted at the other reunion but you never saw me at the other reunion so you didn’t get to see anything. You didn’t get to see me talk to the experts, my honesty box at the dinner party which obviously is really frustrating for me because I feel that was a part of my journey regardless to whether Eve was there or not.”
“Fun times,” she added.
