Cameron Woods, star of Married At First Sight Australia, has confessed that he was unable to walk for two days following a frightening fall from the roof.
The series has been a rollercoaster trip for the carpenter, 27, as things appeared good during their wedding but quickly turned into a nightmare when he showed no intention of showing any emotion to his new bride Lyndall Grace, 27.
Their passion for adventures and the outdoors looked to be a wonderful fit when they first met, but Cameron was in a tragic accident two months ago that left him with a shattered rib, four damaged vertebrae, and a kidney haemorrhage.
‘I was intoxicated. I went to climb a roof… I couldn’t walk for two days,’ he said.
‘There were a lot of things I couldn’t do, and I only had one functioning kidney.’
While he first felt he would be fine and could ‘walk it off,’ the pain worsened and he had to go to the hospital.
Cameron added to 9Entertainment: ‘I should have gone to hospital then, but I’m very stubborn and thought I’d walk it off and it would get better – which it didn’t.’
He ultimately overcame his aversion to needles and sought medical assistance, returning to work a few days later.
This comes after Cameron was dealt another major setback when Lyndall abandoned her spouse during the Final Vows after he revealed that he wasn’t falling in love with her.
Although Cameron had made it clear to producers he was planning on pulling the pin on his marriage, and had given it ’10 minutes’ thought, he was clearly blindsided by the fact his wife didn’t want to wait around for him.
As the couple met to share their final decision on whether to continue their relationship in the real world, Lyndall showed absolutely no emotion as she read out her planned speech and pulled no punches.
‘I came to this experiment with the simple goal of finding love,’ she began.
‘For most of my life, being married, having a partner, and planning for the future were pipe dreams I guilted myself out of. I thought that because I have cystic fibrosis, I could never be someone’s forever person.’
She went on to say that she didn’t want to be limited by her health or her husband, that he had “walked out” of difficult talks, leaving her to “pick up the pieces,” and that their whole relationship had been on “his terms alone.”
She concluded, before he stormed off: ‘‘To put it plainly. Stay in your lane and I will stay in mine. I want to build a life I’m proud of, and that life does not include you.’
After the show aired Lyndall also shared some photos of the final ceremony, captioning one post: ‘When the trash decides to take itself out.’
Cam, on the other hand, posted a selfie of himself with the caption “recently divorced.”
Married at First Sight is streaming on All4.
