MAFS’ Vanessa Romito reveals shocking photos of her ‘disfiguring acne’

Married At First Sight introduced a bride with ‘disfiguring acne’ on Wednesday’s episode.

Vanessa Romito, a 31-year-old pharmacy manager from Perth, said that her battle with the skin condition had hindered her love life.

‘I don’t think it’s a choice that I’m single,’ she admitted. ‘I’m ready for a relationship but modern dating is very superficial.’

She added: ‘People tend to pick out your imperfections, and I’ve got a lot of them.’

The brunette admitted that she’s so self conscious over her skin that she avoids going on dates with men during the day.

‘I think I’m probably most attractive at night, when the lighting is dim,’ she said.

Vanessa explained her acne in further detail, revealing that her pimples would get so big at times that they would cover her eye or stick out on the side of her chin.

‘It damaged my confidence a lot,’ she said. ‘I don’t think anybody would truly be satisfied with this.

‘I’ve always felt like I was gonna be left on the shelf,’ she continued.

‘I want someone who is proud to stand next to me. I want someone to love me for all my imperfections.’

Vanessa was matched with hunky youth worker Chris Nicholls, 37, but her lack of confidence almost caused her to skip out on her own wedding.

The bride was visibly shaking before walking down the aisle, and even couched down on the ground to compose herself.

Thankfully, the nuptials went off without a hitch, with father-of-two Chris saying that he was more than satisfied with the brunette beauty.

Despite their chemistry, Vanessa opted not to share a bed with her new husband out of fear that he may not truly be attracted to her.

‘I don’t want to share a bed until I know that he likes me,’ she said.
