Polly breaks silence on disaster MAFS finale with swipe at show saying ‘it’s like Geordie Shore and not about love’
POLLY Sellman claimed Married At First Sight is as wild as Geordie Shore after her TV marriage ended in disaster.
The E4 experiment sees strangers tying the knot after being put together by a panel of relationship experts.
They go through a series of stages including a honeymoon, meeting their in-laws and living together.
But there’s penty of glamour and booze thrown into the mix, resulting in explosive showdowns at ‘dinner parties’ and some of reality TV’s most unforgettable moments.
Adam and Polly’s relationship was bumpy from the very start, and their final scenes together saw her chucking red wine over him.
Penny said that everyone applied to the show for the right reasons after struggling to find love in the real world.
But the careers adviser, who quit her job to take part in the show, admitted producers are keen to focus on the drama.
She broke her silence on the Victoria Elaine Bridal podcast and said: “Sometimes they do ask you a bit of a stupid question and you answer it in a (sarcastic) way, and that’s the bit they show.
“Even though, when you’re in that moment, you think, they’re asking to take the p***.
“They know why they’re asking you that question, and then they have to think what that they can put that over something.
“They’re very clever, but it’s entertainment. That’s ultimately what it’s for, they’ve got a job to do, and we’re just the puppets.”
Victoria then asked Polly: “Do you think you signed up to a programme about love or about entertainment?”
The reality TV star replied: “That’s really hard.
“For this series, I wish it was for love, but I would say as a viewer it’s sheer entertainment. I wish it was different.
“With how things have played out. What’s happened with certain couples.
“You can’t say that it hasn’t been for entertainment. It’s been like a series of Geordie Shore for Christ’s sake. It’s been mental.
“Unfortunately, the penny started to drop around week two. But I’d say the week after the honeymoon, I, or we, people, should have left a lot sooner.
“But you’re so wrapped up in it.”
