MARRIED At First Sight UK star Erica Roberts has revealed her heartbreak after losing her beloved nan.
Erica, who starred on the hit E4 show in 2023, shared an emotional post on instagram, telling her followers about her sad loss.
"On Thursday night I lost my beautiful Nana Jessie," she wrote. "I’m so grateful for the time we had together and that I got to say goodbye I will cherish the memories we made forever, heaven has gained the greatest angel."
Erica accompanied the post with a series of sweet shots of her and Jessie together over the years.
She revealed how her nan looked after her in her younger years, and she was able to repay this in Jessie's final days.
Erica posed a video of her rubbing cream into her nan's hands and brushing her hair.
The reality star explained: "I grew up with her looking after me, so now it's time to look after her."
In other snaps, her gran was seeing kissing her cheek, while another saw them holding hands in what appeared to be her last moments.
Erica was inundated with sympathy in the comments, including wellwishes from her former MAFS co-stars.
"Sorry for your loss Erica," wrote Marilyse Corrigan.
"Sending you so much love my girl!" added Adrienne Naylor.
"So sorry babe, sending you lots of love xxxx" said Amy Christophers.
And Jay Howard also shared: "I’m so sorry for your loss babe, it’s awful losing a grandparent. Thinking about you and your family."
Erica joined MAFS UK two years ago when she came in as an 'intruder' bride halfway through the series.
She was matched with Jordan Gayle and the two weather various storms during the run.
At the final vows, they decided to stick together and make a go of things on the outside world.
Unfortunately, the relationship was not to last.
The pair called in quits in February 2024, and at the time Erica wrote on instagram: "This hasn't been an easy decision for us both as we really wanted to make our relationship work.
"I truly wish him all the best and there is no bad blood between us."
Several months later, however, Erica told The Sun in an exclusive interview that she called things off with Jordan after several 'red flags'.
“I just completely started losing myself, trying to look after him.
“He needed a lot from me and I think he really put a lot of pressure on me to be his sole support system.
“And that's too much for one person.
“I want to be your partner and your lover, not your therapist and your mum. It just got too much for me.”
