Married At First Sight's Emma Barnes has revealed she was rushed to hospital following a horrific bike accident.

The reality star, 32, who was a fan favourite on the 2024 series of the E4 show, took to Instagram to share a series of snaps of her injuries, revealing she suffered two leg fractures and an MCL tear, and will need to wear a brace for eight weeks. 

Alongside a photo of herself lying on a bed in an ambulance and another of her leg in a brace, she told fans: 'I came off okay from my accident with just a leg with 2 fractures, MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) tear and a brace for 8 weeks. 

She added: 'But yeah wear your helmets kiddos, I would not have ANYONE take the mick of me turning up to the pub in with my scooter/Lime bike and taking my helmet round all night because duh, saved my life. V (very) passionate about this cause.' 

Emma and husband Caspar Todd, whom she met on the dating show, calling time on their short-lived marriage. 

Emma was in floods of tears during the commitment ceremony as she told the experts she wanted to leave the experiment.

Caspar, 35, who also chose to leave the show, agreed with Emma that they both weren't the right match for each other and kept clashing.

Several weeks prior, Emma told Caspar she didn't know if she liked him enough to stay in their marriage.

It caused Caspar to feel a lot of resentment towards Emma and started to get nasty back.

Casper said: 'I was explaining emotional vulnerability to Emma and she snapped at me and said I don't know whether I like you enough.

'For me it was just like what are we working for? I felt I didn't deserve that comment.

'In the nicest possible way, I wanted to leave last week. I've put a lot of effort into this. I thought "you know what, if that's what she thinks of me, why am I here?"'

Emma said: 'We go round in circles and I don't want to blurt out everything we've done to p*** each other off this week.'

As the pair spoke to experts Paul Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas, the sad, but amicable break up pulled on fans heartstrings.

It comes after Emma and husband Caspar Todd (seen), whom she met on the dating show, quit the experiment in October 2024, calling time on their short-lived marriage 

'We feel sad because we came here for love. Emma is fantastic in a lot of ways.

'But I need someone who is emotionally vulnerable as I am, someone to need me more than Emma would ever need me. She's a very strong, independent women.'

Melanie Schilling asked: 'Emma can you give Casper what he needs?'

Emma said: 'Oh I'm going to cry. I need to be more emotionally vulnerable and I can be in the right situations, I can, but I need to be loved in order to love.'

Casper said: 'I think Emma is a lovely person but for me, I don't feel a romantic spark. I wrote, "leave".

'I've done a lot of reflection in the last 24 hours, I've thrown everything into our relationship. So I feel like it's the right time, definitely. I wrote "leave", Emma said.

She added: 'I do think every man and women needs to be treated like a king or queen in a relationship.'

'We didn't come in here and think oh it's not going to work but I think we just struggled to make that middle ground', Casper added.

At the start of their marriage, the gardener admitted he didn't feel a 'sexual spark' with Emma after she wore a bikini for the first time on their honeymoon in Jamaica, saying he prefers a 'petite woman' over a curvaceous size 14 figure.

Speaking with Emma's best friends he said: 'I've never fancied curvier women.' 

'Oh no, no, no, no,' Emma's pal exclaimed in response.

'That was poor delivery. You can't say that,' his wife said before tears began rolling down her face.

'That is not a very nice thing to say,' her friend added before saying to Emma, 'Right now, I don't think he's the man for you.'
