MAFS UK bride Polly drops HUGE clue she and groom Adam are STILL together – despite his brutal sex snub
MAFS UK bride Polly Sellman has dropped a HUGE clue she and groom Adam Nightingale are STILL together – despite his brutal sex snub.
In scenes aired on the E4 show, Polly, 28, and her ‘husband’ Adam, 33, appear to have been having a tough time making their marriage work.
Viewers have taken offence to some of the barber’s comments towards his partner, with many slamming him on social media while watching from home.
But careers advisor Polly has come to his defence, taking to Instagram last night to stand up for his actions.
Alongside a cosy snap of the pair, she wrote on her Story: “Just to remind everyone: You see MINUTES of an entire day. A lot deeper conversations were had off camera (mostly in bed where Adam would tell me to be quiet so we could actually sleep).
“It’s hard talking to someone about your feelings if you’ve never been good at, especially to a stranger.
“There are always 2 sides to everything. Both people have insecurities in a relationship with different love languages.
“We have no control over what they show Lastly. Adams an awful singer x.”
Polly and Adam were flown to Trentino in Italy for a winter wonderland trip after walking down the aisle.
But, in a tough moment from yesterday’s installment, the pair spoke about their intimacy issues.
Adam admitted the stunning redhead wasn’t his type, having previously said he was looking for a “petite brunnette” who resembled Megan Fox.
He further described his ideal scenario as having a mixture between Megan and Brassic actress Michelle Keegan.
Polly took the comments in her stride and later offered to give Adam a sensual massage to help bring them closer together.
During during the very awkward scenes Adam appeared to be grunting instructions at Polly.
He said: “You can go harder if you want. I thought you said this would be the best massage of my life?”
Fans were up in arms over his remarks, and one begged: “Polly, just go home hon, and give up the ghost. Adam is vile.”
Another said: “Can’t stand Adam. Absolutely vile. She’s gorgeous and deserves better.”
One more reacted: “Adam wasn’t worth that massage .. he definitely seems like an a*****e” as a fourth typed: “Adam was such a d**k with that massage”.
Despite the five star luxury trip, Adam admitted in a candid confessional that it was “a bit of a frustrating honeymoon” and said: “Something is missing.”
And Polly told the cameras: “I’m frustrated the way Adam has been, given the way we were on our wedding night.
“It feels a bit rubbish that he hasn’t given me a definitive answer.”
Welling up with tears, she added: “I’m going to get upset. I definitely think it’s bringing up insecurities because of previous relationships where I’ve been kind of torn down quite a lot.
“And I’m then going into this with a very good-looking man who I do fancy. Today was breaking point. But I did find it really difficult.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
