Married At First Sight star Peggy Rose has revealed she was rushed to hospital over the Bank Holiday weekend after suffering "really bad abdominal and pelvic pain and feeling really unwell". The 32-year-old, who found fame on the Channel 4 show in 2023, shared the update on social media on Tuesday.
Holiday camp trip ends in A&E
Peggy, who was briefly married to co-star Georges Berthonneau, had been at a holiday camp when she took a turn for the worse. Writing on Instagram, she said: "Butlin's has officially fully finished me off! What a way to end the bank hol…straight into A&E! I swear I've spent more time in hospitals than anywhere else this year. Sorry for the doom and gloom!"
She added: "I was so excited to share that we were starting our second round of IVF this month too…but that will probably have to be delayed now."
Appendicitis diagnosis and recovery
The star told fans she was transferred to another hospital after it was found she had appendicitis. She also shared the statistic that 25% of women have their appendix removed at some point in their lives and asked her 185,000 followers for any advice they may have when it comes to recovery.
Peggy, who is now dating someone else and is trying for a baby via IVF with him but has kept his identity private, earlier this year addressed cruel comments that came her way after she shared her experience of IVF and revealed she had tragically suffered a miscarriage.
Standing up to online critics
Highlighting one cruel comment, she wrote: "Just catching up on comments while I recover and you've got to love some people. I shared my whole IVF journey to help others and to try and break the stigma around infertility, IVF, early pregnancy announcements, and miscarriage."
She continued: "It frustrates me because comments like this are exactly why so many people suffer in silence. Miscarriage isn't caused by an 'evil eye' or by sharing your happiness. Most miscarriages happen because of factors completely outside of our control. If sharing my story helps even one person feel less alone (it made me feel less alone), then I'll continue to do so."
Responding to another, Peggy added: "Again, comments like this are exactly why more education around infertility is needed. Not everyone has the privilege of being able to conceive 'normally'. Around 1 in 6 people experience infertility and for many, IVF isn't a choice, it's their only chance of becoming parents. Trust me, nobody chooses fertility injections, procedures, heartbreak, and loss for fun. A little compassion goes a long way, especially a post about loss which wasn't easy to do either but I did it to raise awareness."
