This Monday, March 21 began the new season of Married at first sight. The show plans many changes in substance and form. From now on, weddings will take place in Gibraltar, where young couples will be able to discover each other on a neutral land and without their usual landmarks.
Above all, we discover a new cast of single people ready to marry strangers, with whom they have things in common. They do not know each other and will have to choose whether or not to marry the proposed person, based on their instincts.
But the first thing that marked the viewers is the overwhelming journey of this candidate: Alicia. Destined to marry a certain Bruno, with whom she would be 83% compatible, Alicia reveals that she has a heavy past. His body bears the scars, twenty scars run through his skin. They are the memories of one of the worst dramas of his life.

Her older sister was with her in the car and did not survive the shock. Alicia meanwhile, survives but has serious consequences. “I found myself in a coma. I had a fracture of the spine, of all the vertebrae, lumbar. Fracture of the hip, of the arm, of the ribs. I had the liver and the intestines which were affected “, Alicia remembers.
Alicia, an extraordinary survival instinct
The candidate takes months to recover from the accident that could have cost her her life. When she wakes up she learns that she has lost her sister but also that she has suffered many fractures.
“But it wasn’t the worst. I learned after the coma that my sister had not survived. She died instantly. She was my eldest sister, we were a year and ten months apart. It was clearly a free fall. I cried so much that I have no more tears. That’s why today I’m shielded at the level of my emotions “ says Alicia on the show.
Yet she managed to fight for her survival while grieving the terrible mourning of her missing sister. For her first steps on the show, Alicia did not want to reveal this drama and the presence of her scars to her future spouse.
