Married At First Sight’s Lauren Dunn, 32, has shared an update about her emergency surgery ahead of re-joining the experiment.
WATCH: Jack’s offensive “muzzle your woman” comment on MAFS
Taking to Instagram, Lauren told fans that the keyhole surgery was a “success” and she is looking forward to reuniting with her groom Jonathan McCullough, 39, during tonight’s home stay episode.
In photos taken during and post operation, Lauren could be seen in a hospital gown and with bruises on her body.
“The painful looking bruises on my tummy are from where I have to give myself blood thinning shots twice a day,” the bride explained to fans, before sharing more details about the surgery.
“The clots found between my clavicle and top rib were caused by the two bones being too close together and pinching the artery,” she wrote.
“The doctor says they could have been there for 20 plus years and it was just unfortunate that it all came to a head during filming.”
More than halfway through filming, Lauren temporarily left MAFS for the procedure, meaning she missed a dinner party and commitment ceremony.
Photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed the bride in hospital after she flew home to Perth for the operation, leaving her husband Jono by himself while she recovered.
“I actually woke up on the weekend before and my arm was like completely purple, really swollen,” Lauren told the publication.
“I had to fly back to Perth, so I could have keyhole surgery to remove a clot and missed out on a week of filming.”
During Lauren’s recovery, Jono joined her in Perth – which we will see tonight. The bride explained it was “great” to spend time with him in her home environment.
Despite how well things are going on screen, evidence suggests that Lauren and Jono don’t stay together.
Photos have leaked of Jono with former bride Ellie Dix, 32, who was originally partnered with Ben Walters, 39, before the couple chose to leave the show.
Although it appears Lauren didn’t find love on MAFS, many viewers have fallen in love with her outspoken personality – particularly when it comes to this year’s ‘villain’ Jack Dunkley, 34.
When Lauren confronted Jack for “joking” about his wife Tori Adams, 27, behind her back, the personal trainer told Jono to “muzzle (his) woman”.
The comment elicited immediate shock and outrage from contestants and viewers alike.
Jack got himself into further hot water after seemingly comparing fellow grooms Tristan Black, 30, and Timothy Smith, 51, to “whales” while they were poolside.
While Tori has had reservations about Jack’s behaviour, she has looked past his misdemeanours and evidence suggests they are still together.
We’ll have to wait and see how things unfold on screen.
