Married at First Sight UK star Peggy Lawrence has been rushed to hospital after an incident while filming.
The reality star, 32, is currently taking part in the Channel 4 dating show and is married to Georges Bert, 30.
Peggy has now revealed that during filming she was rushed to hospital after a severe allergic reaction to dust.
According to The Mirror, Peggy explained: ‘I had the worst allergy to dust, which I didn’t realise I had until moving into the apartments.
‘We were right by Wembley, where they cut the grass three times a day and I had a pollen allergy. So my eyes were swelling up every morning. I was in and out of hospital several times on antibiotics, steroids. I had to put makeup on my eyes and I couldn’t even see my lash line and I think it’s an element of stress as well.’

Peggy went on to speak about the stress of her old job as a technology risk partner: ‘My old job was making me ill. I hadn’t had a period in four years because of stress with my job.
‘It’s hard and you get comments online like, “She looks pregnant,” and I’m like, “I would love to be pregnant because I don’t know if I can have children at the moment, you know?”‘
It comes after MAFS UK fans were left stunned on Friday night after a video of a familiar face from 10 years ago circulated the internet.
Peggy, who is on the current season of MAFS, took part in Take Me Out in 2012 and in a jaw-dropping transformation, now looks completely different.
The reality star, who sports long blonde hair, a glamorous palette of makeup and an expensive looking wardrobe looks completely different from her girl next door persona on the ITV dating show.
In the clip, the then brunette could be seen in a plunging black corset top with frilly detailing and accessorised her outfit with a huge pair of silver hoops.
She sported a heavy palette of make up and freshly manicured nails.
Giggling to a potential match she could be heard saying: ‘I love you. You’re gorgeous. You’re really really good looking.

‘I can’t understand you, but I don’t really care!’
Fans went wild over the dramatic glow up and took to X, formerly known as Twitter at their shock.
One user wrote: ‘Can’t believe Peggy is the same Peggy from Take Me Out…used to love her on that show…’
A second penned: ‘Wow she looks completely different hard to believe they are the same person’.
A third said: ‘No way is that the same person!’
A fourth wrote: ‘Blimey I’ve just watched 19 yr old student Peggy on her Take Me Out island date. She’s not the prudish Peggy we are seeing on MAFS!’
When on the ITV dating show, host Paddy McGuinness gave Peggy the nickname ‘Picky Peggy’ due to how fussy she was with who she kept her light on.
She was relatively successful and kept her light on for ‘football mad’ Andrew from Liverpool.
He chose her, when she was just 19 and the pair headed off to the Isle of Fernando’s.
Wow: Peggy looks worlds away from her younger self when she first appeared on the ITV dating show
TOWIE favourite: Married At First Sight’s Georges previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating, where he enjoyed a date with former TOWIE star Chloe Sims
At the time she said that she thought she had found Mr Right, but things clearly didn’t work out as she is back on screens now.
Peggy isn’t the only contestant who has appeared on previous reality shows.
Georges previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating, where he enjoyed a date with former TOWIE star Chloe Sims.
The Surrey-based sports physio, 30, dated the famed Essex beauty, 41, during an appearance on the show back in 2018.
Married at First Sight UK continues on Tuesday at 9pm on E4.
