MAFS star Polly Sellman reveals plans to quit UK after cruel trolling and show backlash
MARRIED At First Sight star Polly Sellman has revealed plans to bid farewell to the UK after the backlash she’s received on the show.
The redhead star, who’s been on the Channel 4 reality show navigating her relationship with husband Adam Nightingale, has been inundated with comments on her figure and her weight and she’s had enough.
And on the show Polly and Adam’s relationship has been fraught with difficulties from the off, with Adam admitting Polly isn’t his type.
Now, the reality star has revealed plans to say see you later to the UK, and head over to Australia.
The 28-year-old shared a string of photos of herself in the sunny destination, and penned: “To think that Aus was planned 4 years ago, left in 2023 with no intention of coming back and now it’s nearly a year ago since I came home to do MAFS.”
Polly continued: “Every part of me has been itching to get back from the day I landed on the 31st October last year. I cannot wait to be back for Christmas and new years. It’s calling me back and is definitely the place for me…”
Polly recent hit back at body shamers who made comments about her appearance.
The Married At First Sight star posted a snap of her holding her middle finger up whilst wearing sexy lacey lingerie and sheer stockings.
Opening up, she shared on Instagram: “I’ve had a lot of positive comments about my weight loss (and many other positives) since the show has aired.
“But my god am I absolutely horrified off the back of last nights episode.
“I had absolutely nothing from the general public saying that I’m insecure with myself for weeks, and lo and behold, here you are making me all insecure of what I looked like.
“Body shaming and making someone feel insecure (no matter how they look now) who is already going through stress is one of the worst things you can do.”
She then revealed she had lost her weight for her own reasons, as she slammed body shaming.
She continued: “Body shaming a person in the name of advising them to be a certain way or to make fun of someone’s size, is a form of sarcasm, and mentally hurtful.
“I lost my weight for my own reasons and none of you know why.
