Married At First Sight UK star Luke Worley says he will have to spend the rest of his life on tables for high blood pressure after being secretly rushed to hospital during a dinner party on the show.
Viewers saw Luke tell Jay he was going to lay down during last night's show – before Jordan Gayle was seen telling Luke's wife Jay Howard of Luke's comments during a boy's outing, which saw Jay upset and angry at Luke. During the episode, nothing more was made of his sudden exit and attention soon diverted as tensions were ramped up between the couples – with Luke left fuming over what was said to Jay in his absence.
Fans of the show were left stunned later in the episode as Luke stormed into Jordan Gayle's flat, forcing a producer to step in and separate the pair. The confrontation resulted in Luke and wife Jay Howard being kicked off the E4 show and now Luke has been discussing his exit and revealed he was actually taken into hospital during the fateful dinner party, over fears he could have a stroke.
Luke told Jordan Brook what really happened during the dinner partyChatting to The Only Way Is Essex star Jordan Brook on his podcast Into The Barbershop, Luke says he didn't just go to his room as viewers were all led to believe – he was actually taken to hospital. He blames MAFS for the stress put on him after after Luke accused Jordan of trying to 'ruin' his marriage following his comments.
He says: "The dinner party was the next day and I got rushed to hospital. They made out that I had just gone to bed – but my blood pressure was in stroke territory. It didn't have that before I went on.

"I'm on tablets now because of the show, the stress from it has caused my blood pressure to be f****d. I'll need to be on tablets for the rest of my life now because of that. That's what the show has done to me!"
The moment Luke hammers on Jordan's door and starts a brawl before he's booted off the show (Channel 4)Channel 4 bosses gave the Essex salesman, 30, his marching orders with "immediate effect" after he "shocked both cast and crew with his aggressive behaviour". TV bosses felt they had no choice but to eject Luke from the E4 series due to their zero tolerance policy against violence after he allegedly attacked Jordan.
In scenes which aired on last night's Married At First Sight UK, viewers watched as Luke went knocking on Jordan's apartment door only to end up pushing him, with the pair finding themselves in a heated brawl, which viewers later deemed 'embarrassing'. The argument kicked off after Luke accused Jordan of trying to 'ruin' his marriage with Jay over comments Jordan made at the previous dinner party.
After Luke and Jay were axed from the E4 series over Luke's behaviour, the reality TV star has now spoken out, admitting that he 'lost everything' after and was left feeling at his lowest when his previous relationship broke down. Thankfully, Luke decided to go on MAFS UK for another chance at finding love, and ultimately found Jay, who is he now still in a relationship with months after the pair were given their marching orders from the programme.
Luke opened up about his mental health struggles after breaking up with his former girlfriend before he found love again with Jay on MAFS UK. The Essex native confessed that he felt as though he didn't want to go on after the break-up happened. "People don't talk about men's mental health enough you know. People thought I was okay after the break-up, but I wasn't. I was suicidal," Luke revealed. "I've not said this to noone, so this is the first time I'm saying it."
