Married At First Sight UK viewers have been thrown into a frenzy after discovering that Polly Sellman, who was paired with Adam Valentine on the show, previously expressed aspirations of becoming an actress. Polly’s past has stirred up conversation online, with fans divided over what this revelation means for her appearance on the reality dating show.
While Polly’s relationship with Adam has been rocky from the start, her actions during various episodes—especially her involvement in the dramatic clash between castmates Eve and Charlie—led some viewers to brand her a “bully.” The backlash prompted Polly to address critics on Instagram, urging viewers to keep an open mind, saying, “Everyone else coming at me for sticking my nose in is actually hilarious… I took accountability for what I said to Charlie and apologised.”
Recently, fans uncovered a social media post from 2020 that showed Polly promoting herself as a Brighton-based actress seeking connections in the creative industry. The pinned post shared from an account believed to be hers, featured headshots and a message that read, “I’m a Brighton-based actress looking to connect with fellow creatives, directors and producers and find new opportunities in film, TV, and stage.”

The post quickly circulated among MAFS UK fans, with reactions ranging from surprise to skepticism. One fan shared the screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Call me a cynic but…” sparking a discussion in the comments. Responses varied widely, with one user commenting, “No wayyyy,” while another added, “Doesn’t mean much? For me, it just means that she likely wants to be famous… and therefore has gone on a TV show.”
Others defended Polly, with one fan saying, “What a find!!!!!! But I think she’s genuine tbh,” while another remarked, “I’ve seen nothing that appears to be ‘acting’ from her.”
Despite the debate, viewers remain hooked as Polly and Adam’s journey continues on Married at First Sight UK, which airs every Monday to Thursday at 9:00 p.m. on E4.
