MAFS' Kristina reveals co-star's health drama off-camera - 'She's been through so much behind the scenes'
Married at First Sight star Kristina Goodsell, who left the series after she and husband Kieran both voted to leave and go their separate ways, has revealed that hearts are not the only things to have been broken during filming of the current season. The popular bride posted a photo on Instagram on Thursday 7 November in which she is standing with fellow MAFS star Amy Kenyon, and wrote that Amy broke her toe on the show in a scene that was not broadcast.
Kristina wrote: “Can we just take a moment for this GORGEOUS most humble human being please @amyvictoriakenyon my pumpkin pie, honestly this girl has gone through so much behind the scenes which hasn’t been shown on your tv, this poor girl broke her toe with a lot of help from me.”
She continued: “Sorry aims, but she has held herself so bloody well and she doesn’t deserve the amount of hate she is receiving honestly! Please please please be kind, when someone says they are uncomfortable it’s for a real reason.” She also wrote a special message on the photo for Amy: “I’m so beyond proud and grateful for you queen, thank you for EVERYTHING you are an absolute treasure I love you so much.”

Amy has recently hit out at the show for an “unfair” edit that made it look like she was overreacting during a last date before final vows with her series husband Luke. The pair participated in a cookery class during which Luke made a comment that made Amy feel uncomfortable, and she has since said it wasn't a realistic portrayal of their date. She took to Instagram in a lengthy post to "defend" herself and explain what really happened when the cameras weren't rolling.
"I walk off set at one point due to something which was again brought up that we weren't allowed to discuss on camera and therefore unable to be aired," she told fans, further explaining she was "sick to death of being silenced" and felt it was best to "remove" herself from the situation.
"The scene has been portrayed in a way that did not happen due to the narrative being warped by this same topic which was constantly being brought up," she penned. "Due to this being brought up, I had to again humiliate myself apologising for 'overreacting' to make the scene make sense."
Some MAFS fans have been critical of Amy, which has caused not just Kristina but also another bride, Polly, to come to her defence. In a post before the girls’ night out episode was due to be aired on Thursday, Polly criticised those who had sent “abuse and nasty comments” to Amy. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” she said. “None of you seem to remember or think about the fact the women in this series have been portrayed like monsters compared to the men, and what they’ve managed to get away with this series is f**king beyond me but there we go.”
