Married At First Sight Australia star Tony Mojanovski has suffered a heart attack and was rushed to hospital. The 53 year old, who appeared in the latest series of the show, underwent surgery at Wollongong Hospital in New South Wales after experiencing chest pains.
Tony admitted that his partying and smoking lifestyle had impacted his health, and he had been feeling unwell for some time. The reality TV star, who married Morena Farina on the show, described his ordeal as "pretty scary".
He revealed to the Daily Mail Australia that he had been experiencing discomfort in his chest for a while, which prompted him to seek medical help. Tony shared: "Luckily I went straight to the doctors. During the week I wasn't feeling well. It has been happening for a long time."

He added, "I was just feeling not right, like something was on my chest every now and then, giving me heartburn and stuff like that."
Tony also expressed concerns about a possible genetic link to heart issues, as his mother tragically passed away from an aneurysm. Tony, from Married at First Sight fame, has opened up about his lifestyle choices contributing to a recent hospital stay, reports Wales Online.
He confessed to smoking and excessive partying being factors in his health scare, admitting: "I was smoking, the cigarettes, the stress, being on the boat, partying - just too many things. It caught up with me, mate. I just need some time without the partying."
His MAFS co-star Ryan Donnelly paid him a visit during his recovery, sharing a poignant video of their warm embrace.
Tony's romantic life faced turbulence on the reality show with his wife Morena. Although they had an auspicious start with what seemed like a real spark on their wedding day, their bliss was short-lived.
Just two weeks into their marriage, Tony shocked Morena by revealing a preference for a younger partner as he desired children. This disclosure proved to be too much, leading to the couple's premature departure from the experiment.
Morena left no doubt about her feelings, writing: "Good riddance, on her exit card. Speaking after their split, Tony told 9Entertainment: " on her exit card.
Post breakup, Tony reflected on his experience to 9Entertainment, expressing his initial hopes for personal growth through the show: "I wanted to at least feel the experience, to learn off her, learn from the experts, get some information about where we're going wrong in life."
Despite that, their relationship reached an impasse as Tony admitted: "But it got to a stage where I just couldn't be around her and I was ducking and weaving and I was going to see my dog."

Paul C Brunson returns to USA from UK after seven years - and reveals what SHOCKED him
Celebs Go Dating star Paul C Brunson has returned to the USA after spending years overseas. The 49-year-old first moved to the UK in 2018 to film the Channel 4 show and eventually settled down with his family after years of travelling back and forth. Paul is well known in reality TV from his appearances on several shows, including Married At First Sight, where he featured as a relationship expert, and co-hosting Celebs Go Dating. The American recently landed in the States again and shared his thoughts on how his perspective has shifted about the country. In a post to his 493,000 followers, Paul wrote: 'Seven years away changes what you see.' The reality star then went on to explain how conflicted he felt since returning. 'Within 24 hours of landing back in the US for the first time in what seems like forever, I felt both at home and like a stranger,' Paul added. Paul shared the various things that he has now noticed about America. 'Gun magazines placed beside candy. Prescription drug ads at every turn. SUVs that look like small ships. Coffee cups you could swim in,' he went on. 'Some of these things are small. Others feel massive. But together, they paint a picture of what's normalized here, of the values and rhythms that shape daily life in ways you don't always notice until you've stepped away.' Paul spent seven years in the UK and the time away has made him see things in a different light. He explained: 'Living abroad has trained my eye to catch these details, but more than that, it's made me curious about what they say about us: what we prioritize, what we overlook, and what we've quietly accepted as 'just the way it is.'' Paul's upload contained a series of images, outlining some of the points he had noticed including a positive point about the friendliness he feels from people. 'There's a warmth and friendliness unlike what I've seen in the UK, mostly London,' he wrote. The reality star's post attracted thousands of likes and hordes of commenters, all keen to share their take. Someone chimed in: 'It really is amazing how living a abroad changes your eye.' Another agreed: 'Sad facts. Times have definitely changed and not all change has been for the best. The American recently landed in the States again and shared his thoughts on how his perspective has shifted about the country 'Unfortunately, lots of Americans have become desensitized by the subtle changes. Not me though. Stay vigilant people.' While one had a different experience and said: 'Just moved back to America after 8 years in London. 'Feeling so much happier back in the states! The friendliness makes a difference.'
