MAFS UK Bride Hospitalised in Thailand After Dog Bite as Groom’s Response Draws Fire

Viewer criticism focuses on Reiss Boyce’s initial refusal to accompany Leisha Lightbody to hospital.

Overview

  • Leisha Lightbody was bitten on the face by a stray dog during the couple’s Thailand honeymoon, as shown in Sunday’s episode on E4.
  • She received injections in her nose and arm at a local hospital to guard against infection, according to footage aired from her treatment.
  • Lightbody said she had to text Reiss Boyce to come to the hospital after he initially did not go with her.
  • Boyce downplayed the injury on camera as a “scratch” and later said he “came to hospital in the end,” which she rejected as missing the point.
  • The on-screen dispute fueled immediate social-media backlash and renewed questions about the pair’s already tense relationship.
