Married At First Sight star quits his job as binman and signs up to OnlyFans in a bid to make cash
A MARRIED At First Sight groom has traded in the day job to earn cash on OnlyFans.
Manchester lad Ryan Livesey, 28, has seemingly kicked his bin man career to the curb in favour of posting saucy snaps to the subscriber-only site.
The dad of one had a rocky ride on the E4 reality series, marrying Glasgow make-up artist Sionainn Carmichael, who entered the 2024 instalment halfway through the series, as one of the “intruder” brides.
Yet he was widely praised by Married At First Sight fans for his down to earth attitude in addressing his battle with bladder cancer in 2017.
The semi-professional footballer doubled as a bin man but now has reacted to fan demand and switched career.
He recently uploaded a sizzling bathroom selfie onto Instagram in a bid to drum up subscribers.
It showed him flashing his rippling abs as he posed in a white robe and his grey boxers.
Ryan flashed a sultry look to the camera as he took his mirror selfie.
In his caption, he added an icon over his private parts and downward arrows pointing to a link on his OnlyFans page.
Showing he is already proving popular on the page, he added a grab which read: “You are in the top 22 per cent of creators.”
He has also added the page link to his main Instagram profile so fans can sign up.
On Reddit, fans appeared divided by Ryan’s latest move.
One wrote: “I can’t imagine women wanting to pay $15 {£11] per month to see what looks exactly like every single Hinge profile pic.”
A second defended him and added: “He is ridiculously good looking.”
A third then mused: “I find the whole Only Fans concept bizarre. I have zero interest in wasting money on that garbage (no pun intended!) so I’m curious too.”
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.”
One then remarked: “Was he not the bin man lol?”
MAFS JOURNEY
Last year, Ryan quit the show, meaning his wife Sionainn also had to leave MAFS UK.
The pair then split – with rumours he had moved on with fellow Mancunian bride Hannah Nornburn – speculation the pair both denied.
Hannah also found herself being confronted by the other brides over her flirting with Ryan – despite being married to Stephen.
Sionainn returned for the explosive reunion show alongside a host of other contestants for series eight and nine.
Yet Ryan decided not to – and took to social media to explain why he was missing.
He shared a photo of the 2024 gang and wrote: “I’ve been getting messages asking why I wasn’t at the reunion.
“I decided I didn’t want to do any more filming.”
He added: “I was at the last reunion, and I made it clear that I was done. A wrap is a wrap.”
HEALTH BATTLE
Previously, Ryan told how he “went instantly numb” when he finally addressed the health issues he’d been ignoring for seven months and was diagnosed with cancer.
Aged just 22 at the time, and with a baby on the way with his ex-partner, Ryan was terrified that he wouldn’t see his son grow up or even be born.
“I started wetting the bed, it was really embarrassing but I put it down to having too much to drink and of course, I didn’t tell anyone and hid it,” Ryan said.
“I’d go to the toilet and not feel like I was emptying my bladder properly.
“I’d have to go again 20 minutes later because I couldn’t hold it in.
“Looking back now, I should have known something was wrong but because the increase in frequency happened gradually, I was able to ignore it.
“If I’d gone to the doctors when I first experienced symptoms in 2016, things could have been different.
“Every bloke reading this will know there are posters in public toilets with health messages on them but we tend to ignore them.”
Ryan, now in remission, is urging men to pay attention to their health and believes most men put it off out of embarrassment or pride.
