Hero Married At First Sight UK star saves passenger from smashed car after crash
Married At First Sight UK star Amy Christophers was the first on the scene of a horror car crash in Cornwall on Saturday - but has been forced to confirm she's not injured after being inundated with messages
A British reality TV star has spoken out amid concern she was involved in a horrific car crash. Amy Christophers, best known for appearing on E4 series Married At First Sight UK, has confirmed she wasn't injured in the incident and was actually a first responder.
The 35-year-old, who now works as a sports presenter, has said that she has received multiple messages on social media from concerned fans after onlookers noticed her at the scene of the crash in Cornwall.
But Amy has reassured worried followers that she was not injured or involved in the car accident, which occurred near Falmouth, Cornwall on Saturday.
Amy, who says she was first on the scene, wasn't going to speak on the matter but has been prompted to release an official statement due to "rumours flying that she was injured."
The reality TV star has recalled coming around a bend on the A393 between Lanner and Ponsanooth at 2pm on Saturday, June 7, to find two vehicles involved in a serious collision.
Running to help the driver trapped in one of the cars, Amy says she quickly realised despite her fight reflexes kicking in, she had no idea what to do.
"I was with my Mum when we drove round the bend near Ponsanooth to find ourselves first on the scene of an awful crash involving two cars. I don't want to talk about it in lots of detail, but I was helping someone who was trapped in a car."
Running to the car Amy said her auto instinct just took hold. "I called the emergency services right away and they talked me through everything, they were amazing. And it meant I knew what to do to help everyone as I was being given step by step instructions. Somehow we got the situation under control."
TV presenter Amy says she was swiftly identified at the scene, prompting numerous messages about her involvement in the incident, with some even sparking speculation that she was injured.
Amy clarified: "I just want to make it clear that I was not hurt or involved in the accident, as I have had a few people asking. I was helping and I very quickly realised I didn't know what to do – it scared me a lot and made me realise we need to all learn more about first responder training for emergencies like this."
The incident is said to be currently under investigation. Cornwall Live reported that a woman was left seriously injured after the crash. The publication claims police were called to the scene at around 2pm, following reports of a crash between a silver Toyota and blue Hyundai. And, the driver of one of the vehicles, a woman from Falmouth, was taken to Royal Cornwall Hospital Treliske with serious injuries.
Amy was one of the most memorable stars from the 2021 series of the widely popular E4 programme. The sports journalist was introduced to viewers when she walked down the aisle to meet (and marry) her partner, Josh Christie, for the very first time as part of a unique dating experiment.
Unfortunately, their marriage on the show didn't work out but she did become a huge icon for being outspoken and keeping viewers' eyes glued to the screen.
