MAFS UK star Polly has impressed fans with her incredible transformation and has since revealed exactly how she did it – and her method is very simple
MAFS UK bride Polly Sellman has wowed fans with her amazing transformation since the show – and now she’s revealed the secret to her incredible weight loss.
Polly rose to fame on the E4 dating series, but her time in the dating experiment wasn’t without its ups and downs. Explosive rows and slanging matches with her ex-husband Adam Nightingale left viewers stunned – especially when she threw a glass of wine over him at dinner – but she’s since put it all behind her.
The bubbly blonde amassed a loyal following throughout the series viewers saw her struggle to come to terms with Adam admitting he wasn’t physically attracted to her from the start. But now she’s world’s away from the drama on-set as she’s swapped life in the UK for sunny Australia.
The former careers advisor, 28, has lost a staggering four stone since leaving MAFS and has amazed fans with her new look. She spent Christmas Down Under and posted photos of her posing on a white sandy beach wearing a red bikini.
Polly took to Instagram to share her idyllic photos from the Perth beach and said: “England Christmas blues have well and truly gone. Merry Christmas to you all,” and fans were quick to compliment her stunning snaps.
The star has previously opened up about her weight loss, revealing she was 16 stone after filming MAFS. Now she has dropped down to 12.5 stone. Polly took to Instagram to say: “I’ve just weighed myself (I know you shouldn’t at night) and I’m honestly gobsmacked that I’ve now lost nearly 4 stone… 4!!!! Since March!!!”
The MAFS bride said she has a “little way to go” before she reaches her goal, but explained she has been able to lose the weight so far without living a ‘restricted’ lifestyle and has kept a healthy relationship with food and drink. “I’ve always been confident however not so much with my body, now have a lot more self confidence and feel so much more comfortable in certain clothing whereas I didn’t before,” she explained.
Polly added: “I dressed well for my shape and size but never felt hugely comfortable just the fact I knew how to dress to hide certain insecurities. However that’s now changed and I don’t think as much about covering certain things when I’m ordering clothes and it feels sooooo good.” Revealing how she lost weight, Polly hailed a simple three-step method – drinking more water, eating less and moving more.
“I finished filming and I was 16 stone (have been there or there abouts for 2 years) and now I’m 12.5,” and said, adding: “It’s been a case of upping my water intake, eating less and moving more. And I love that I’ve found a huge passion for fitness again because of the routine I really kept to, and still do.”
