Married At First Sight UK star Nikita Jasmine has revealed she was rushed to hospital as she was left struggling to breathe and swallow by an illness that landed her in A&E.
Fans of Nikita, 29, might have noticed she was absent from social media over the last two weeks, and now the reality TV star has opened up on the reason why as she explained her rough start to the new year.
In a lengthy statement on her Instagram stories, Nikita said she "took a lil 2 week social media break" after being struck down by a scary illness that developed into Strep A and laryngitis, leaving her with breathing problems.
She explained to her fans she'd also been left feeling anxious: "Been stuck on what to say as didn't have a very good start to the year unfortunately (too much stuff going on in the background all at once). "Then fell poorly on NYE which started off as a cold then led onto StrepA & laryngitis so could barely swallow or breathe which wasn't great.
