Married at First Sight UK star Polly Sellman has stunned fans with her remarkable transformation since appearing on the show. And the reality favourite has now revealed the secret behind her impressive weight loss.
Polly gained popularity on the E4 dating series, but her time on the show was marked by explosive arguments and heated exchanges with her ex-husband Adam Nightingale, including a memorable incident where she threw a glass of wine at him during dinner.
However, she has since moved on from the drama. The lively blonde gained a loyal following throughout the series, particularly as viewers witnessed her struggle to cope with Adam’s admission that he was not physically attracted to her from the beginning.
Nevertheless, she has left her on-set issues behind, relocating from the UK to sunny Australia. The 28-year-old former careers advisor has lost an astonishing four stone since leaving Married at First Sight and has amazed fans with her new appearance.
She spent Christmas in Australia and shared photos of herself posing on a white sandy beach in a red bikini. Polly posted her idyllic photos from Perth on Instagram, saying: “England Christmas blues have well and truly gone. Merry Christmas to you all,” and fans were quick to praise her stunning snaps.
One person commented: “Oz looks very good on you baby!” Another added: “So pretty, you look fabulous.” While a third said: “Stunning! You look incredible!”
Polly has spoken publicly about her remarkable weight loss journey, revealing a transformation from 16 stone to 12.5 stone. Expressing her shock at the huge change since March, she wrote on Instagram:: “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!!!”
Polly attributed her success to a straightforward three-step approach: increasing her water intake, reducing her food consumption, and engaging in more physical activity.
“I finished filming and I was 16 stone (have been there or thereabouts for 2 years) and now I’m 12.5,” she explained, 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.”
Polly acknowledged that she still has a “little way to go” before reaching her goal but emphasized that she has maintained a healthy relationship with food and drink, avoiding a restrictive lifestyle. Her weight loss has significantly boosted her self-confidence, particularly in her body image.
Polly mentioned that she used to dress well for her shape and size but never felt entirely comfortable, often trying to conceal certain insecurities. However, she now feels much more at ease, stating: “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.”
