Tony Mojanovski, a 53-year-old star from the latest Australian series of Married At First Sight, was hospitalised this week after suffering a heart attack. He was taken to Wollongong Hospital in New South Wales on Thursday morning following complaints of chest pains.
The reality TV personality, who tied the knot with Morena Farina on the show, underwent surgery and acknowledged that his lifestyle choices, including a fondness for partying and smoking, had impacted his health. Tony admitted he hadn't been feeling well for some time and is now on the mend after what he described as a "pretty scary" experience.
In a conversation with Daily Mail Australia, Tony shared that he had been experiencing discomfort in his chest for a while, saying: "Luckily I went straight to the doctors. During the week I wasn't feeling well. It has been happening for a long time." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter

He continued, "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 concern about the possibility of a genetic predisposition to heart issues, revealing that his mother tragically passed away from an aneurysm, reports the Mirror.
He also confessed that his lifestyle may have contributed to his hospitalisation, as he admitted to smoking and excessive partying, stating: "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."
Tony received a visit in hospital from his MAFS co-star, Ryan Donnelly, who posted a video of them embracing as Tony recuperated.
Unfortunately, Tony's relationship with his wife, Morena, on the show is not as friendly.

There were high expectations for the couple on their wedding day as they appeared to have a genuine connection.
However, after only two weeks, Tony stunned his bride when he expressed his desire for a younger partner because he wanted children.
Following this revelation, the damage was irreversible and the couple soon left the experiment, with Morena writing: "Good riddance, on her exit card. Speaking after their split, Tony told 9Entertainment: " on her exit card.

Speaking after their split, Tony told 9Entertainment: "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.
"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."

Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong in 2026 for ‘The Mayhem Ball' Tour
Yeah, we had Coldplay take over the entire territories, the comeback of Nicholas Tse, and Mandopop king Jay Chou coming later this month, but let's be real – we're also still smarting over the fact that Singapore got both Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga but not us! However, the tide might be turning, as there are now rumours swirling that Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong next year. Back in March, Mother Monster announced her upcoming eighth concert tour 'The Mayhem Ball' which is set to commence on July 16. The plan was for the concert to travel across North American, European, and Australian cities, but on June 10, Lady Gaga also announced five dates for Japan, running from January 21 to 29 in Osaka and Tokyo. The plot twist here is that the Lady Gaga news fan account @MayhemBallTour on X had previously already proclaimed on April 9 that the artist will have Tokyo dates. When asked for hints on the whole Asia leg of the tour, they posted emoji flags of Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong – so we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll actually get Gaga in Kai Tak Stadium or AsiaWorld-Expo come 2026! Interestingly, Hong Kong singer Joey Yung went to Lady Gaga's recent 'The Art of Personal Chaos' concert in Singapore recently and posted on Instagram in Chinese that she 'hopes she'll be able to enjoy it again in Kai Tak'. These industry insiders know something we don't… If the online rumours are anything to go by, Lady Gaga might be putting on three Hong Kong shows in February 2026. Stay tuned for more information as we learn them!

UK viewers can finally binge 'gripping' Australian thriller series
An Australian thriller based on a best-selling novel can now be binged in full in the UK. In 2020 the first season of the psychological thriller series The Secrets She Keeps hit screens. Based on the book of the same name by acclaimed crime-fiction writer Michael Robotham, it was adapted by Sarah Walker and Jonathan Gavin, the former who worked on shows including Home and Away, Neighbours and All Saints. Set in Sydney, the series follows two women from 'vastly different backgrounds with explosive secrets that could destroy everything they hold dear'. It stars Jessica De Gouw (Arrow, Dracula) as Meghan Shaughnessy, who is happily pregnant with her third child. However, her husband Jack (Michael Dorman) is on edge, facing money issues and a stressful job. Meanwhile Agatha Fyfle (Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael) is also pregnant, with both women's lives soon colliding. Sorry, the video was not found At the time of its release, critics were somewhat unconvinced by the storyline but praised the lead stars' performances. 'Without performances as layered and emotionally sound as the ones Carmichael and De Gouw give, The Secrets She Keeps would be little more than the aforementioned pulpy ride,' Paste Magazine shared. 'The whole thing is held together by Laura Carmichael as Aggie, a compulsive liar played at the screeching end of camp, complete with weird, limp hair and beaky fury,' The Sunday Times wrote. 'The leads bring more than enough credibility to their roles to make the series worth watching,' Decider added. However, viewers were much more glowing in their reviews. 'It was gripping, and off-the-charts, and more than once, difficult and even stressful to watch. But this is what the best dramas do: they evoke a response from the viewer, and this did that in spades,' user InnerWisdom1000 posted on IMDB. 'Good casting, very entertaining and pretty tense at times. Would definitely recommend,' Laura wrote. 'First episode I wasn't sure, but this series turned into a binge watch for me! Dark, and with some pretty good twists, the story of Agatha and Megan is brilliantly done. Agatha especially gets more and more bonkers in a sinister way,' Juli added. Although the first season was originally made available on BBC iPlayer, it was later taken down. But two years after the second season was released, UK fans and those yet to tune in can now watch both in full on Channel 4, where the show has been uploaded this week. The original novel was inspired by the kidnapping of newborn baby Abbie Sundgren in Nottingham in 1994. Just three hours after her birth, Abbie was taken by a woman posing as a nurse, who kept her for 17 days. At the time Michael was working as a journalist in London and covered the story, which he used as the basis of his novel nearly 20 years later. More Trending 'The idea stuck with me and the turning point came when I thought about an added element — what if it wasn't just a random baby that was taken? What if someone had faked a pregnancy and intended to steal a baby …and they had chosen the baby they wanted to steal,' he previously told The West Australian. While the novel was set in the United Kingdom, the television adaption was set in suburban Sydney — a change the author encouraged. 'When I was approached, I was asked if it was a deal-breaker to me, but it didn't really cross my mind. It is a universal story. The TV series has done an astonishing job and Jess and Laura have done an amazing job playing two women from two different sides of the economic equation … one with a nice husband and a nice house in an expensive neighbourhood, the other, who is living in much poorer circumstances, just trying to get by.'
