MARRIED At First Sight expert, Charlene Douglas, was rushed to hospital in London.
Charlene , who rose to fame on MAFS UK , revealed she had planned to go the Notting Hill Carnival in West London on the Bank Holiday long weekend but ended up in hospital because her body “had other plans.”
The sex therapist updated her fans about her dramatic A&E dash on her Instagram account.
In one photo, a close-up of her arm showed a canula attached on the inside of the elbow.
“When you had plans to represent your island 🇻🇨 [Saint Vincent and the Grenadines] at Notting Hill carnival and ‘wuk your waistline’ this weekend, but your body had other plans!” she captioned the post.
Charlene added the hashtags “iron deficiency” and “slow down” to her post, but did not elaborate on what caused her hospital visit.
She also posted a video to her Instagram stories that showed her being wheeled up a hospital corridor in a wheelchair.
Charlene was able to see the lighter side of the moment and captioned the video: “Life! Hair looks good though,” referring to her bright red braids, tied into a high ponytail above her head.
She added in the caption: “Thank you NHS England.”
