Married At First Sight UK star Polly reveals truth behind explosive feud with co-star after off-camera fall out
MARRIED At First Sight UK star Polly Sellman has spilt the tea on her explosive fallout with her co-star Amy Victoria.
The girls became friends on this year's series of MAFS as they both attempted to find their happy ever afters.
But after both walking away from the E4 show single, their friendship also hit the skids.
Once the series wrapped, Amy posted a series of private WhatsApps on social media amid a fiery row between herself and Polly.
In the posts, Amy accused Polly of spreading false rumours about her having a connection with Adam Nightingale during partner swap week.
Amy, who insists that her relationship with Polly's husband Adam was purely platonic, was furious with her for making the suggestion on camera.

Polly then hit back with a cryptic message on Instagram that appeared to accuse Amy of 'playing a victim'.
The Sun can exclusively reveal that the girls' friendship is well and truly over following the bust-up.
When asked if she is still friends with Amy, Polly told us: "No, we're not, we're not."
Speaking on the red carpet at Tulley’s Christmas Light Festival, she continued: "We were after [the show] but having watched a few things back and seen a few things after, we've had some words.
"They haven't been particularly nice but, again, it's very amicable.
"I will say hello when I see her. I’m not the kind of person who will completely snub someone. But that door is closed.”
The feud between Polly and Amy kicked off last month as this year's series of MAFS UK drew to a close.
It came after Polly was seen suggesting on screen that Amy - who married Luke Debono on the show - had her eyes on Adam.
Polly also 'liked' a fan comment that read: "Sorry but Amy is not a girls’ girl, the little comments and looks to Adam - something is definitely going on or happened between them.
"@polly_sellman don’t know how you kept so cool with her, well done you!"
Polly later claimed she 'genuinely didn't mean to like' the scathing comment.
Amy, meanwhile, took to social media and posted a private conversation between herself and and someone called 'Polls'.
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."
In it, 'Polls' said she was looking forward to 'shutting everyone up with these rumours' at a forthcoming press event in London.
Adding that the rumours were 'doing her head in', 'Polls' appeared to suggest that she knew claims of a connection between Amy and Adam were false.
Sharing the chat on Instagram, Amy wrote: "Proof that the rumours Polly’s fuelling aren't true."
In another rant, Amy added: "For everyone asking if me and Polly are friends… We WERE until she started making up rumours that me and @adam.nightingale.19g0 were anything more than friends on partner swap week.
"Very interesting seeing her fuel b*****t rumours about us on her live when she sent me this a few days ago."

Her message read: "Stay away from people who act like a victim in a problem they created."
