MAFS UK star Peggy Rose, 33, reveals she only has a 1% chance of conceiving a child after heartbreaking IVF setback

Married At First Sight UK star Peggy Rose has revealed she only has a one per cent chance of conceiving a child after a heartbreaking IVF setback this week.

The reality star, 33, has been on a journey to have a child for months now and recently started her injections in preparation.

Peggy - who is now in a relationship with a mystery partner - rose to fame on the show in 2023 where she was partnered with Georges Berthonneau but they split not long after the series.

On Tuesday Peggy gave an update on her fertility journey after going to the hospital for an egg collection.

She penned in her lengthy post alongside snaps in her gown: 'Sorry I didn't give an update yesterday. It was the most emotional day yet.

'Going in with 8 good sized follicles, and coming out to find that after all the injections and the operation they only managed to collect one egg…one egg…and they couldn't confirm if it's mature was really hard to process. I'm so grateful for the opportunity and the staff were amazing but it's hard not to be disappointed!

'It was the first time I thought that sharing my journey was a mistake as I didn't know how I would get the courage to explain what had happened to you all without it crushing me but I'm sticking to my word and I promised to share both the highs and the lows, so here is the raw truth (the low) in the hope that it helps someone.

'I genuinely thought I was being realistic hoping we'd get at least a few from many decent-sized follicles, but I guess this journey is a constant reminder that you just never know.

'Right now I'm trying to stay positive and hopeful that it's a good egg, that it matures and fertilises. We'll find out tomorrow. And now comes the dreaded wait… the unknown is honestly the hardest part.

'As for the surgery itself, it was absolutely fine. In and out of theatre within about 20 minutes. I was sedated with oxygen, didn't feel a thing, and only needed paracetamol afterwards. I have pain in my right ovary but maybe that's because there was double the amount of follicles there. 

'The staff were all amazing, they offered tea, hot chocolate or coffee and a biscuit when you wake up which was a small bonus on a pretty disappointing day.

'After hearing the news, I just wanted to get home, into my own bed, and recover hoping and praying for good news✨

'Thank you for all the love and support. It really means more than you know. One egg I think we only have a 1-3% chance now but we're staying hopeful ❤️.'

In 2024 she said of her wish to have children: 'I'm not sure if I can have children. I used to suffer with anxiety - I get stressed and I'm a very anxious person. 

'I basically haven't had a menstrual cycle in five years now. They're calling it secondary hypothalamic amenorrhea, which is all related to stress. 

'But yeah, I want to find someone that wants kids too and helps me to have them - it's going to be a big process, I'll probably need IVF, and that's quite scary. I got this news a couple of months ago and yeah, I'm so gutted.'

Peggy opened up about her heartbreaking split from Georges back in 2024, and claimed that the fame 'went to his head'.

After the E4 show finished airing, Georges called it quits on their short-lived marriage, which ultimately left Peggy completely devastated.  

She then claimed that their relationship went south because Georges became too obsessed with fame.

Peggy told The Sun: 'Boys like attention, especially when boys haven't had the attention before. I feel they get a bit big headed.

'He even said to me on the show that he's been sexually desired by all his ex-girlfriends. Who says that?'

On Valentine's Day 2024 she went public with evidence that Georges had cheated on her. 

The reality star claimed that she was sent messages, pictures, and videos, from someone who had seen Georges on two dates with another girl.

'You can't cheat on someone and expect to get away with it,' she shared at the time. 'I was heartbroken. I remember crying my eyes out.'

Peggy then admitted that she felt she let her family down as they really thought they could trust Georges and even ended up 'loving him'.

She sadly confessed 'it was my decision, my mistakes, and I made my bed, so I've got to lay in it'.

She has found love again with a new man and he shares the same values as she does. 

'He's just a normal guy, he's not a millionaire,' she beamed at the time, as she revealed he also wants children.

'I was willing to stay with Georges, even though he said he didn't want kids and kids are a big thing for me… I just hope he's the one,' she added.

Georges has strongly denied the cheating allegations made against him.

He fumed: 'I never cheated on her, it was her actions that pushed me away - the actions we all saw on the show; gaslighting, manipulation, constantly putting me down. It's boring now.'
