Married At First Sight star suffers heart attack as they're rushed to hospital

A star was rushed to hospital this week after suffering a heart attack. Tony Mojanovski, 53, who starred in the most recent version of the Australian version of the matchmaking show, was admitted to Wollongong Hospital in New South Wales on Thursday morning.

Tony, who married Morena Farina on the reality show, was complaining of chest pains before undergoing surgery and admitted that his 'love of partying and cigarettes' had taken its toll. After revealing that he hadn't 'felt well for a while', Tony is now, thankfully, recovering as he spoke about his ordeal, which he admitted was "pretty scary".

Speaking to , Tony revealed that his chest 'hadn't felt right for a long time', sharing: "Luckily I went straight to the doctors. During the week I wasn't feeling well. It has been happening for a long time.

"I was just feeling not right, like something was on my chest every now and then, giving me and stuff like that."

Explaining that he found his health scare "pretty scary", Tony also revealed he thought his heart problems may be genetic after explaining that his mum had sadly died from an aneurysm.

He also admitted that his lifestyle may have played a part in his hospital visit, as he conceded that he smoked cigarettes and indulged in too much partying, saying: "I was smoking, the cigarettes, the stress, being on the boat, partying - just too many things. It caught up with me, mate. I just need some time without the partying."

Tony was visited in hospital by his MAFS co-star, Ryan Donnelly, who shared a video of the pair hugging as Tony convalesced. Sadly, Tony's other relationship on the show with his wife, Morena, isn't quite so amicable. On their wedding day, there were high hopes for the couple as there seemed to be a genuine spark.

However, after only two weeks, Tony shocked his bride when he revealed he wanted a younger partner because he wanted to have children.

After that, the damage was done and the couple left the experiment shortly after, with Morena writing: "Good riddance, on her exit card.

Speaking after their split, Tony told : "I wanted to at least feel the experience, to learn off her , learn from the experts, get some information about where we're going wrong in life.

"But it got to a stage where I just couldn't be around her and I was ducking and weaving and I was going to see my dog."
