Daniel McKee was brutally attacked while traveling, but the thieves left empty-handed after falling in love with Matt Jameson on Married At First Sight UK four years ago.
One of Married At First Sight UK’s first gay stars has revealed his injuries from a mugged trip to Mexico.
Daniel McKee, who was partnered with Matt Jameson on the hit E4 show in 2021, was brutally attacked, leaving him with a collapsed lung. He forced to fly home to Northern Ireland for Christmas following the harrowing incident.
The 30-year-old took to social media to share images of the impact of the robbery attempt. He explained what transpired during his travels in south America along with a photo of himself holding a cup of tea while shirt-free.
“I got mugged in Mexico,” he said on Instagram. “They didn’t manage to take anything because I fought back… which in hindsight you should NEVER EVER do as I got hurt… they did however redirect my winter travels for a few weeks which I’m not mad about.
She addressed the thug’s effects in more detail in the following upload. He continued, “I have a wee tear in my lung, a small pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and some very sore ribs. Daniel continued to go on to explain how it hurts “so bad” when he laughed before saying, “But I am grand. Merry Christmas
Dan and Matt split after a two years together in December 2022 after becoming the show’s first-ever gay. Speaking to The Mirror, Matt revealed he and Dan have been unable to savage a friendship from their relationship.
We wanted to be friends, they said. However, he continued, “You must have that separation with any relationship, and especially for me to move forward.
We haven’t spoken in a while, so it’s been very difficult because I was heartbroken after the breakup, because I loved him and wanted him to be my forever, but he wasn’t, so I needed that break, and because we haven’t spoken in a while. We could talk and maybe form a friendship in the future, but it hasn’t been something I’ve been able to do.
He said, “Our relationship was so strong; we met at the altar, we spent eight to twelve weeks filming together, and then we spent time in Leeds and Northern Ireland.
“During those two years, there were a few days or weeks when we weren’t together.” It was a fast-track relationship because it was so intense.
We were together for two years, but it probably would have spanned four or five years if it had been a regular relationship. It’s a real adjustment because that intensity and then the stop before you decide to leave are real.
He continued, “I moved to Northern Ireland, we were living together there, and then I had to make that enormous adjustment again and move back to Leeds, which was really difficult,” he said, speaking in 2023.
