Before they were Married At First Sight! Show’s stars look VERY different in throwback snaps – from Nikita’s glamorous glow up to Luke’s amazing weight loss
- Married At First Sight UK contestants have looked perfectly polished while on TV
- But the reality TV stars previously shared unfiltered and candid photos online
- Here, FEMAIL reveals the contestants’ looks prior to their filmed wedding vows
They’ve been garnering headlines and a host of fans thanks to their emotional, dramatic and explosive scenes on Married At First Sight UK, as well as for their fantastic looks.
Yet the contestants of the E4 reality TV show didn’t always look as polished as they do on the nation’s small screens.
From 36-year-old Luke Dawson’s weight loss journey, which he documented on Instagram, to mother-of-two Marilyse Corrigan, 37, from Yorkshire, who treated followers to a fresh-faced selfie – the stars took plenty of candid snaps before their time in the spotlight.
Here, FEMAIL reveals the contestants’ mostly unfiltered looks prior to their filmed wedding vows…
Nikita, who has now left the programme, appeared markedly different in old Facebook photographs (pictured left)
Glamourous! While Nikita has always gone for a stylish look and voluminous hair, she looks a little less done up in her younger days (left). Now the reality show star favours a sultry look and is rarely seen without full make-up and a sexy ensemble (right)
Adam has seemingly transformed his look in recent years (pictured left, prior to his stint on the TV programme, and right, recently)
Morag let her hair down and enjoyed beach vacations in snaps shared on her social media accounts before joining the TV show. The vet nurse from Plymouth has upped the ante since joining the show, and frequently shares glamorous snaps to Instagram (right)
BUT SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE…
Personal trainer Jordan, 27, from Cardiff, showcased his toned physique (pictured left) even before joining the popular programme
Charity worker Matt (pictured), 39, from West Yorkshire, has always rocked a smart casual look and a silver fox beard
Ant, 28, adopted a serious facial expression in his early Instagram snaps (pictured left) – but he appeared to stick to that approach even in recent photos (pictured right), proving he’s barely changed in the past few years
Joshua from West London has always been a fitness enthusiast, and showed off his physique in selfies on Instagram (left). The reality star was not shy about whipping off his shirt on honeymoon in the show
It appears Franky, 46, who has spent time living in Dubai, had a strong selfie came before appearing on the reality TV show (pictured left)
Robert, 26, from Dorset, looked cool, calm and collected in a photograph (pictured left) taken before his days appearing on MAFS UK
