Nikita Jasmine has revealed that she had to be rushed to the emergency room after she was left struggling to breathe after New Year’s Eve.
The Married At First Sight UK, 29, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to explain why she had been absent from social media.
She said she had fallen ill at the beginning of the year, and then developed Strep A and laryngitis, forcing her to go to hospital to be treated with antibiotics.
Nikita wrote: ‘Hellooooo my people. Took a lil 2 week social media break which was well needed.
‘Been stuck on what to say as didn’t have a very good start to the year unfortunately (too much stuff going on in the background all at once).

She said she had fallen ill at the beginning of the year, and then developed Strep A and laryngitis, forcing her to go to hospital to be treated with antibiotics
‘Then fell poorly on NYE which started off as a cold then led onto Strep A & laryngitis so could barely swallow or breathe which wasn’t great. On antibiotics for 2 bloody weeks, trips to A&E lol but now I’m back!’
The reality star explained that she decided to take some time away from social media to ‘clear the mind’ and ‘recharge’ adding that she didn’t want to have to ‘put on a brave face’.
She said: ‘Got anxiety on what to post as haven’t been myself at all, kept looking at others so happy & ready to smash 2024 when my head wasn’t in a good place and immune system had been terrible to boot.
‘Didn’t want to put a brave face on & post everyday / pretending I was okay, acting like my jolly self etc hence why I had a small socials detox which honestly does do you the world of good and I’d recommend it to anyone!
‘Really helps clear the mind! It’s all good been active but your health comes first but so does your mental health / mind set and sometimes you just need to take a step back, have that break and recharge!’
Nikita then threw subtle shade at those around her, saying her difficult experience had shown her who her ‘real’ friends were, implying others hadn’t cared or checked in on her.
She said: ‘Thank you to those that reached out to me noticing I was quiet. Randoms & friends that were checking in constantly I appreciate every single one of you.
‘The past fortnight has made me really open my eyes WAY more to the real ones who actually do care when you’re feeling down and deflated & I’m very lucky to have those people in my life.’

She concluded: ‘But now enough of the waffling I’m ready to start the year properly now.
‘Gonna start been more real and raw with yous on here because I am on TV but feel like Instagram people only show the good s**t what’s going on and not necessarily the bad and life consists of both, so there’s gonna be no fakery over here!
‘Life is challenging but we’re all in this together, regardless of how busy life can get we’re all humans on this tiny planet so we need to be there for each other.’
It comes only a few months after Nikita’s last hospital dash, when she came down with tonsillitis following being assaulted in a nightclub.
During Halloween last year, Nikita took to her Instagram Stories to reveal she had been the victim of a ‘random attack’ that left her with broken ribs.
She had been partying at Livello in Newcastle when the incident occurred in the bar’s toilets, and pleaded with her followers for information.
She wrote: ‘Anyone who’s tried contacting me since the weekend I’m ILL. At A&E because I’ve got tonsillitis BAD again, shock horror.
‘On antibiotics for a week & ribs are fractured from some fkn idiot so getting that looked at now. Random attack. [sic]’

Reassuring her followers, she continued: ‘Don’t want a million messages, I’m sweet just not well, will sort it all out when I’m feeling better.
‘Anyone who saw what happened in Livello toilets on Saturday night, message me. Will be kept private.’
Nikita shot to fame on MAFS UK in 2021 but her stint was short-lived after she was axed following a foulmouthed outburst at her fellow cast members.
The Geordie had to be dragged away from the show’s first dinner party by security in the midst of her expletive ridden rant.
Bosses later told the newlywed she would have to leave the series for breaking E4’s code of conduct, abruptly ending husband Ant Poole’s stint on the dating programme.
A spokesperson for E4 told MailOnline: ‘The wellbeing of cast and crew is our utmost priority at all times throughout production and beyond.
‘During filming, a situation escalated off camera and Nikita displayed a level of aggression that was unacceptable and breached our agreed code of conduct on behaviour.
‘As a result, she was asked to leave the experiment. All involved have been offered support and Nikita has since apologised and resolved the situation with those involved.’

Nikita later apologised for her actions, telling The Sun: ‘I am truly sorry for any upset I caused during my time in the experiment. However, I will always stand up for what I believe in,’ she said.
She said that while she can be ‘loud and lairy’, she is a ‘good person’ who defends her friends and believes that her antagonistic behaviour means she is ‘misunderstood’.
She returned to the series for the reunion episode when she confronted her ex Ant and co-star Alexis Economou who reentered the experiment as a new couple after failing to find love with their original spouses.
