MAFS star posts from hospital bed amid recovery after huge surgery
A former Married at First Sight cast member has announced that she had surgery in Turkey earlier this week, with reality TV star Sacha Jones sharing the news with fans
A former Married at First Sight cast member has revealed that she had surgery this week. The reality TV star is now recovering in hospital following the procedure, with her having shared a selfie on social media since the operation.
Sacha Jones, 30 - who was a bride on MAFS UK last year - had announced on Instagram that she would be heading to Turkey. She's since shared with her followers that she had surgery on her nose after arriving in the country days ago.
The content creator had kept fans updated on her trip and recently asked them to guess what she was "having done" at Phoenix aesthetics clinic. In an update yesterday, she confirmed that she had opted to have rhinoplasty.
Sacha announced the procedure alongside a selfie that showed her lying in a hospital bed. As a follow-up to her previous post, she wrote in the caption of the photo yesterday afternoon: "If you guessed nose, you guessed correct."
The photo showed Sacha's nose bandaged up and supported as she lay in bed following the rhinoplasty. The reality TV star, who sported a striped grey top, was seen propped up by pillows as she recovered from the recent procedure.
It comes after Sacha teased the trip abroad in previous posts on the platform ahead of the procedure at the clinic. She had suggested to her followers that she would be out in Turkey for seven days in one of her video messages.
Sacha shared in the video that she had forgotten that she's an "intense heavy packer". Suggesting that she was struggling to pack everything into one bag, she teased in the clip: "Seven days worth of clothes with all my toiletries as well."
Later, in another video, she said it would be her first time abroad on her own. Sacha went on to tease that she could end up spending the "whole time" crying whilst recovering from the procedure, which she had yet to announce then.
In the message, she said at the time: "This is my first every solo trip. This is the first time being abroad on my own. So that'll be interesting. But I'm such a baby, I'll probably just be like crying the whole time I'm there in bed anyway."
After arriving at her destination, Sacha shared a selfie of herself in a bathroom mirror ahead of the procedure. She wrote in a caption that accompanied the photo: "Op day!!!!" The clinic responded: "Let the nose aesthetics journey begin!"
The surgery is the latest update in Sacha's life following her rise to fame on the ninth season of MAFS UK, which aired on E4 last year. She was among the brides on the show and remained a cast member through the entire season.
She 'married' Ross McCarthy on the show and the former couple agreed to stay together at the final decision ceremony as the season came to a close. They however have since parted ways and are no longer in a relationship.

Gemma Collins reveals health battle as she shares tough side effects
Gemma Collins has revealed she has been struck down with pneumonia as she reveals some of her tricky symptoms. The GC, 44, is known for being a fabulous media personality who is full of one-liners and her incredible diva behaviour. However, the star has revealed a health battle that has been going on for the past few weeks as she explained she's been struggling recently. 'Hey guys sorry been quiet I have Pneumonia 🤍 I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily 🤍 'I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon 🤍,' she announced on social media. She then shared images on her Instagram story as she revealed that she has been dealing with some unpleasant side effects. She shared images of intravenous drips being hooked up to her arms, likely for vitamins and fluids, as she spoke about how her life had slowed down because of the illness. 'I'm having to take it easy, which is not like me, very slow and get out of breath and tired so quickly.' She shared one snap with her fluffy golden-brown pomeranian Gucci, who she said was 'giving her lots of cuddles.' She also revealed that doctors were visiting her home as she shared a snap of a doctor writing on a tablet box with the caption: 'Thank you to everyone helping me, I've had pneumonia for three weeks and honestly can't thank everyone all the docs helping me.' According to the NHS website, Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. Most people get better in 2 to 4 weeks, but babies, older people, and people with heart or lung conditions are at risk of getting seriously ill and may need treatment in hospital. Symptoms can typically include: a cough – including coughing up yellow or green mucus (phlegm) shortness of breath a high temperature chest pain an aching body feeling very tired loss of appetite making wheezing noises when you breathe – babies may also make grunting noises feeling confused – this is common in older people Gemma has been frank about her recent health updates. The star revealed in January that she was taking Mounjaro injections to assist with her weight loss and attempt to have a baby. She told The Sun in March 2025: 'I think I'll give birth to twins next year! More Trending 'I can't believe I've finally found something that works. I've lost nearly two stone already and it's been completely effortless – I don't even want to eat anymore!' She added: 'I got on the scales and lost something like 6kg in my first week. I bet my house by May, I'll have six stone off. And it's been effortless. 'I've struggled for many, many years to lose weight… All my life… I tried everything.' Gemma then added that the drug had managed to change her life completely: 'This is a revolutionary, life-changing drug for someone who has struggled with weight their whole life. There's all this pressure people don't realise. A weight problem clouds your whole life.' Got a story?

Earthquakes, mistaken identity and a 14-hour wait for a ride: Hitchhiker lifts lid on journey from Aberdeen to Hong Kong
Despite only being halfway through his journey, John Dougan has already been mistaken multiple times for a Russian-American defector, survived an earthquake and forced to wait 14 hours for his next ride. John left the Granite City two months ago to set out on his epic hitchhiking route that will span over 14,000km and up to 25 countries – his final destination, Aberdeen, Hong Kong. The 32-year-old recently found himself worn out and struggling with his mental health. John was seeking a more independent life, which led him to quit his corporate job and create his social channels. He wanted to share honest content with users, highlighting the highs and lows of his trip. His journey across the globe has thrown up various challenges beyond the regular hurdles of hitchhiking. John, originally from Glasgow, has been stopped multiple times at borders and mistaken American-Russian defector John Mark Dougan. Not only do the two share the same first and last names, but they both have the same birthday. John Mark Dougan is a former U.S. Marine who fled to Russia in 2016, accused of running websites that spread Russian propaganda. He said: 'At the borders, they are a little bit worried we are the same person, so it became a problem 'But because Turkey is such a big country I haven't had to deal with it in a few weeks, thankfully' said John. John Mark Dougan now follows the hitchhiker on Instagram and often likes and comments on his posts. John spoke about the troubles he faced with getting from place to place. He said: 'It can become quite a challenge, but it depends where you are. Cities are very difficult to get out of and its all about positioning. It becomes a bit of a skill that you pick up and you learn techniques.' He told The Press & Journal that cultural differences have played a huge part in his journey so far, explaining that some cultures are more open to hitchhiking than others. 'You see countries through a different lens, and you get to know the people and the culture of a country much better,' John added. However, it hasn't all been plain sailing for John. While at the German-Austrian border, he was left waiting 14 hours for a lift as nobody stopped. He continued: 'It was hard because it was still relatively early into the trip, and it was one of those moments where I thought, is this even going to be possible?' While in southeastern Turkey, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck the area John was passing through. At least one person has died in the quake. John said: 'I've been in a couple of earthquakes before but when you wake up during the night and the whole building is shaking, its quite scary.' On top of waiting for a ride and navigating an earthquake, John has also had to balance his budget. Having travelled before, he's no stranger to the cost of seeing the world. Money was a topic that came up in most conversations on his journey towards Hong Kong. Many drivers have discussed inflation and how it has affected countries in Europe as well as Turkey and Albania. He said: 'Countries that were once inexpensive to travel and live in are now almost equivalent to European prices.' John is currently in southeastern Turkey and plans to go on to the Caucasus region, across the Caspian Sea and into Kazakhstan and China. To follow John's journey, visit his TikTok and Instagram, where he shares the highs and lows of his trip. He is also using the platforms to raise awareness and funds for mental health charities, another reason for his expedition. John is hoping to reach Aberdeen, Hong Kong by October but is now hoping to extend his travels into a bigger trip around the world – minus the hitchhiking.
