MAFS star Christie Jordee gives an update to fans after shock cancer diagnosis

One of the stars of the hit dating series has provided an update from hospital just months after being diagnosed with cancer.

Married At First Sight star Christie Jordee has revealed she has undergone surgery as she continues to battle cancer.

The season two contestant shared a series of pictures from her hospital stay on Instagram, telling fans she has now gone under the knife twice.

“2nd surgery done. Still high as a kite but was a success!” Jordee wrote in the caption.

“Getting there. Esp with my partner in crime right by my side. We got this. Love you so much xxx.”

Jordee found fame in 2016 after appearing in the second season of Nine’s popular dating series, in which she was matched with Victorian farmer Mark Hughes.

However, the pair broke up just two months after the show ended, much to fans’ disappointment.

Jordee is now in a relationship with Trent Victorsen, who has been supporting her through her recent challenges.

Jordee first revealed her cancer diagnosis to followers earlier this year, explaining she’d been given the shock news “10 days before Christmas” after getting checked due to finding a lump.

“I was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer,” she said. “3mm under stage three.”

Jordee added that it had been a “tough journey” and that she knew she had a
big road ahead” of her.

Jordee has kept a relatively low profile in recent years after stepping into the spotlight on MAFS, but revealed back in 2018 she had been left devastated by viewer backlash in the wake of her season.

Jordee told BW magazine that she had been targeted by angry fans and blamed for her break-up with Hughes when they shared the news, leaving her “hysterically crying’.

“I’ll never forget that day (the split was announced). I was just pacing and I ended up on the floor in a foetal position,” she admitted.

“I couldn’t breathe. I think I was hysterically crying for about three solid hours … It affected me for a good year, year-and-a-half, mentally, and to mend.”
