MAFS bride reveals she’s already back at her old job after she leaves show early after row with husband
MARRIED At First star Holly has revealed that she’s heading back to her day job after quitting the E4 show.
The bride, who married a stranger on MAFS UK, had put her job on hold while she was on the experiment.
Lash technician Holly tied the knot with Alex, who was working in aviation based at RAF Spadeadam military base in Cumbria.
Things between Holly and Alex came to a head when she challenged him over the way he spoke to some of her fellow brides at the committment ceremony – including Lacey Martin.
Speaking to Lacey about what had gone on, Holly said: “After the commitment ceremony we had a major argument because I just didn’t’ like the way you were spoken to.
“What upset the most is after, he said ‘what’s wrong with you?’ and I said ‘I’m really missing my children’ and he just said ‘f*** this, I can’t be ar*** with this’ and he just walked off.”
Following the bust-up with Alex, Holly made the decision to leave the experiment – urging producers to “get me out of here”.
Speaking on camera, Holly added: “Me and Alex are just not getting on. I need some space, get me out of here.”
MAFS fans were keen to know if the beautician was set to return to work or had other jobs in the pipeline.
During an Instagram Q&A, a fans asked: “I saw at the beginning of MAFS that you’re a lash technician, is this something you still do?”
Holly revealed it was only a matter of weeks before she heads back to the salon.
She replied: “It is indeed. I will be returning to work at the end of the month.”
Holly hasn’t had an easy time on the show so far.
Viewers begged producers to step in after Holly admitted she’s afraid to confront groom Alex during arguments last week.
The couple got into another row after Alex‘s behaviour during a recent dinner party caused Holly to storm off.
She was unimpressed with his conversation with one of the imposter brides.
Alex later insisted Holly should bring up such matters in private – but she revealed why she feels unable to when the cameras aren’t around.
He said: “If I feel someone, I’ll tell you. I ain’t gonna hold it in. You just like to act like you’re cool when you’re not.
“Big Holly only comes out when there’s cameras around and there’s people around.
“If I start raising my voice, it’s gonna be a madness.”
Holly replied: “This is why I can’t confront you, because ‘it’s gonna be a madness’.”
Fans rushed to social media after the row to have to their say.
One wrote: “Quite shocked that the experts haven’t picked up on or questioned holly expressing how she only brings up issues in front of people due to feeling intimidated by Alex in private.”
Another said: “Has anyone thought that maybe Holly is waiting until there are people and cameras around to confront Alex because she doesn’t feel safe to do it alone? He’s a huge red flag.”
And a third added: “That is one big red flag right there what Holly said about wanting to be in a safe space and being around people when she wants to talk to Alex about something that is bothering her.”
