DEVASTATED Married at First Sight star, Sacha Jones, has opened up about the loss of “the love of my life,” as she admits that she blames herself.

The 29-year-old revealed that her beloved white cat “Diego” passed away in the early hours of this morning, after being ill for sometime.

Having been due for a series of scans, Sacha now says that she wishes she’d pushed for the investigations sooner.

She said: “He was due in for scans and tests today as he’s been ill for awhile and tried various different meds but now I will never fully know why he passed. But maybe I should of pushed for your scans sooner.”

E4 star Sacha also cursed herself for leaving the mog alone for a few days when he was critically ill.

She said: I definitely shouldn’t of left you for those couple days I was away. I just thought you’d be fine at your nanny and grandad’s and vet’s didn’t seem too concerned. I feel like it’s all my fault.

Cryptically, the MAF bride also told her 170k followers, how the cat had once saved her life, but didn’t elaborate.

She said: “I took him emergency vet but there wasn’t much they could do so I brought him home and he took his final breath in my arms. You once saved my life Diego, i’m so sorry I couldn’t save yours. I really thought I was doing all I could.”

It’s hardly surprising that Sacha is sharing her recent plight.

The Wallsall-born beautician became one of the stand out stars of the last series, for her plain speaking, emotional honesty.

The former pageant queen became popular for her devotion to her husband Ross McCarthy who is deaf, but also for her no nonsense exchanges with the other contestants, such as Alex Henry, as well as her close bond with her fitness loving parents.

But two weeks after the series ended, Sacha and Ross split and then just under a month later, Ross posted snaps on social media of his new girlfriend.

But in an interview with Sacha revealed that once they left the TV studio, their relationship became fractious.

She says: “When I think of my time with Ross after the show, it’s just dark. Dark. I can’t think of one happy memory after the show. It was awful. The last happy memory I have is going to the first reunion together and putting on a strong front.”

Based in her hometown of Walsall, Sacha revealed that Ross temporally relocated from Manchester to move in with her, but he was not financially stable.

They also couldn't agree on where to settle, after Sacha wanted to remain in Walsall near her parents, Ross was keen to stay in Manchester to be near his daughter from a previous relationship.

But meanwhile, Sacha who is self employed insists she was the sole breadwinner, she said:

“I had to fund us for two months after MAFS. He didn’t pay a penny. We got into rows about money – he even argued about paying for a jar of coffee!”

The MAF bride then revealed that her parents with whom she enjoys a close relationship, encouraged her to ditch Ross for own mental wellbeing.

She said:  "My parents were livid at his behaviour. I’d have been lost without them – Dad’s very protective but very good at doing the right thing, he’d never do anything I wouldn’t want. My friends, well, they were constantly telling me to leave Ross."

“They said I was constantly zoned out when I saw them. I wasn’t ‘present’.

But having recently said that the only man in her life is her dad and Diego her cat, Sacha must be feeling bereft now that her beloved pet has passed on. But at least she has her dad.

She has also admitted to turning to religion since the fallout of her relationship with Ross, as she told OK magazine: “I found my new religion after the experiment. I’m a Christian now."

“I was always abstinent but now, after what’s happened, I don’t think I’ll have sex until marriage.”
