MAFS star Nikita Jasmine reveals hospitalisation ‘opened her eyes’ to 'real' friends

The New Year didn’t start off well for this reality star who is now saying she realises who her 'real' friends are after an emergency health situation.

In trying times, you’ll know who your real supporters are and this is what Married at First Sight star Nikita Jasmine has realised.

The reality TV contestant who was removed due to ‘unacceptable behaviour’ during her time on the show in 2021 found herself rushed to hospital at the start of this month after battling complications and struggling to breathe.

Following her health-battle, Jasmine took a two-week social media hiatus to recover, but she’s come back to reveal all.

Admitting to struggling with her headspace since being taken to hospital, Nikita shared a message to her fans in a social media post.

Within the post the Celebs Go Dating star explained how becoming seriously ill had opened her eyes to people who are the ‘real ones who actually do care when you're feeling down and deflated'.

Posting on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday (17 January), Jasmine wrote: "Been stuck on what to say as I didn't have a very good start to the year unfortunately (too much stuff going on in the background all at once).

“I then fell poorly on NYE which started off as a cold then led onto Strep A & laryngitis so could barely swallow or breathe which wasn't great. On antibiotics for 2 bloody weeks, trips to A&E, lol but now I'm back!

"Got anxiety on what to post as haven't been myself at all, kept looking at others so happy & ready to smash 2024 when my head wasn't in a good place and immune system had been terrible to boot.”

She explained how her mind was during this time: "Didn't want to put a brave face on & post everyday/ pretending I was okay, acting like my jolly self etc hence why I had a small socials detox which honestly does do you the world of good and I'd recommend it to anyone! Really helps clear the mind!

“It's all good been active but your health comes first but so does your mental health / mind set and sometimes you just need to take a step back, have that break and recharge!"

But now she knows who her real friends are and wants everyone to know that her eyes have been opened when she added: "Thank you to those that reached out to me noticing I was quiet. Randoms & friends that were checking in constantly I appreciate every single one of you.

"The past fortnight has made me really open my eyes WAY more to the real ones who actually do care when you're feeling down and deflated & I'm very lucky to have those people in my life.

"But now enough of the waffling I'm ready to start the year properly now. Gonna start been more real and raw with yous on here because I am on TV but feel like Instagram people only show the good s**t what's going on and not necessarily the bad and life consists of both, so there's gonna be no fakery over here!

“Life is challenging but we're all in this together, regardless of how busy life can get we're all humans on this tiny planet so we need to be there for each other."
