Why were Polly, Luke and Ross not at the 2025 MAFS UK reunion?

FANS of Married At First Sight are keen to know which couples from the drama-filled series are still together.

Selective couples from the popular dating show will return for a MAF Reunion on Monday February 24, 2025.

Who is in the second MAFS UK reunion episode?

The brides and grooms will come together for the first time since leaving the experiment.

Together, they will share their thoughts on what went down during their time on the show.

The honesty box will also be making a return to the dinner table, so there’s bound to be some more tear-jerking moments in store.

While some MAFS UK couples have reportedly turned down the opportunity to make a comeback, others have claimed they weren’t invited back to the reunion.

To spice things up, producers have invited couples from fan favourites from previous seasons of Married At First Sight.

Who’s missing from the MAF reunion?

Polly

Although Polly was matched with Adam by the MAF experts, they were far from a match made in heaven.

Viewers will remember that the tears on their wedding day after Adam failed to compliment his new bride at the altar were a telling sign that this couple wouldn’t last.

The career advisor turned reality TV sensation parted ways with Adam after an unforgettable blazing row at the final MAFS dinner party.

Sadly Polly won’t be present for the MAF reunion, but Adam is set to appear without her.

Since leaving the show she has relocated to Australia and has a whole new look after dropping a dress size or two.

Although her on-screen marriage didn’t work out, Polly has reportedly been enjoying “lots of lovely dates” with a “new man” in Australia.

A source told The Sun: “Polly and her new man met when she landed in Sydney, and they’ve been on lots of lovely dates planned by him.

“They’ve been to a wildlife centre, cinema, and are planning on some weekends away with friends, as well as long beach days booked in too.”

Ross

Ross hit it off with his wife Sacha from the very start.

But despite being one of the strongest couples in the competition, the couple split just two weeks after moving in together.

Mancunian Ross has not commented on their split confirmed he had moved on but posting photos with his new girlfriend in Instagram, leaving Sacha and fans of the couple devastated.

It has been rumoured that Ross has been dodging phone calls from the producers of the show and therefore won’t appear in the much anticipated MAF reunion.

Luke

Despite many viewers dubbing Luke and Amy the ‘Barbie and Ken‘ of MAFS, their relationship rapidly fell apart during the experiment resulting in one of the most dramatic final vow ceremony’s ever viewed.

In this final episode Amy savagely dumped Luke before the end of the show and so it’s no surprise to find that the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram.

Luke revealed that he was not asked back to take part in the MAF reunion.

He told Yahoo UK: “I don’t know why, some of us were not required.”

Since Amy’s stint on the show she has been linked to fellow participant Adam Nightingale.

The two have been spotted together on multiple occasions, sparking speculation about a potential romance.

However, both have insisted they are just friends.

Emma

Emma and Caspar never made it to the final and left the show in week seven after struggling to form a connection. 

In January 2025, Emma shared a selfie with a fellow traveler during a skiing holiday in France which sparked rumours of a new love match but Emma quickly shut down any speculation.

She wrote on Instagram: “For the many people asking… @george_bradbury is not my boyfriend – I am of course third wheeling again.”

Gardener Caspar did go on to find love since leaving the show.

On social media he wrote: “Who knew that 2024 would find me the love of my life?

“So happy to have you in my life and moving in to live with me next month. Happy New Year, 2025 is looking amazing.”

Neither Emma nor Caspar will appear in the special catch up episode.

Emma told Yahoo: “They didn’t need me anymore. I still don’t know why I was cut. There were some storylines that they wanted to follow, the producers, and yeah, someone must have taken my seat, right, so someone got called up to get back on there. But yeah, not me!”

She added: “There was certainly an uproar from a lot of my friends that I wasn’t gonna be there — I don’t know whether that’s just my friends though!

“I know I’m a big personality and I definitely could have brought some laughs to the table… It’s a shame.”

Richelle

Richelle and Orson left the show Married at First Sight UK in week six after Richelle questioned her husbands authenticity.

The couple both wrote leave after Orson became involved in a cheating scandal with Stephen’s bride Hannah, leading to the end of his relationship with Richelle.

Since leaving the show Richelle decided to quit her job as a property investor.

The former MAF bride wrote on Instagram: “To eliminate one of a few stressors, I’ve left my job.

“Post MAFS stress, life and low tolerance for bs took over.”

Who will appear on the MAF reunion?

Fans will be delighted to hear cast members Lacey and Nathan are on the guest list for the MAF reunion.

Despite declaring that they loved each other ‘to the stars and back’ in the final weeks of the show, the couple sadly didn’t last and the pair no longer follow each other on Instagram.

In a post shared on Lacey’s Instagram story ahead of the reunion she said: “I would like to add that me and Nathan did break up a long time ago…

“I want to clarify we split up for many reasons.

“One to do with a charity run for Cancer, my nan and two uncles passed away. It’s a big day for me, sorry that I wanted my partner to support me and wish me luck.

“There was many other factors but this one hurt me the most.”

Fans for the couples to spill the tea and hear both sides of the story as the honesty box is passed around the reunion dinner.

Here is the full line up of who will be attending MAF 2025 Reunion:

Ronnie O’Sullivan’s £2million home put up for sale as snooker legend splits with ex-fiancee Laila Rouass for good

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has placed his £2million home up for sale after splitting with Laila Rouass.

The Rocket owns a five-bed mansion in the East London-Essex area that he is looking to cash in on.

Records show the property was bought in 2018 for £1.4m, which means O’Sullivan could make a tidy profit from the sale.

The 3,000 square feet property is listed for £2m and is currently lived in by Laila, with O’Sullivan staying at a bachelor pad nearby.

O’Sullivan moved out after the former couple ended their 13-year relationship in December.

And it appears they are over for good after placing the house up for sale.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Their friends had been hoping they would get back together as they had split before and re-united.

“But they have decided today to sell their home and that really does signal a definitive end to their relationship.

“They looked good together wherever they went and had many happy times in that house. But it’s all over now and they both recognise that.”

The house also contains three bathrooms, a wine cellar and a spacious garden.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

It is a stone’s throw from O’Sullivan’s favourite running stomping ground Epping Forest and has excellent transport links to central London, being situated ten minutes from a Central Line station.

A friend revealed the seven-time world champion is settled in his new pad, which contains a snooker table.

They said: “They had some very happy years there, Ronnie was successful in his snooker and Laila was in some great TV dramas like Footballers Wives and Life isn’t all Ha Ha Hee Hee.

“They are selling the house together. It’s all agreed and should work out financially without any problems.

“Ronnie has a new place and has got himself a snooker table there.”

I tried viral ‘Dubai chocolate’ bar made in Ireland as orders ‘skyrocket’ with up to 20 day wait due to huge demand

THE viral ‘Dubai chocolate’ bar has caused a major frenzy among chocoholics – and demand for the sweet treat has “skyrocketed” in Ireland.

Sugar Plum Sweetery, based in Westmeath, has created its own Dubai Chocolate Bars.

The “Dubai chocolate” trend gained momentum on social media platforms like TikTok, captivating dessert enthusiasts worldwide.

Knafeh, a traditional Arab dessert, gives the Dubai chocolate a nice crunch.

We put Sugar Plum Sweetery’s Irish-made viral Dubai Chocolate bars, costing €9.95, to the test.

The clear wrapping reveals the chunky chocolate with green, gold and glitter detail.

Munching into the chocolatey goodness, the viral cocoa bar certainly lived up to its reputation.

I was pleasantly surprised as the pistachio wasn’t as overpowering as I imagined.

The pistachio, crunchy kataifi pastry, tahini, and the creamy milk chocolate were a dream.

Its unique flavours reminded me of a Ferrero Roche and Kinder Bueno blend.

And the combination of the filling and chocolate ratio was just right.

I filled up quickly on this lush bar but couldn’t stop myself reaching for more.

It’s the perfect choice for chocolate lovers who need a different indulgence.

The award winning Irish Chocolatier said the “absolutely scrumptious” chocolate delivers an “unparalleled taste experience”.

They said: “The most scrumptious handmade viral Dubai Chocolate Bars made using the most premium ingredients including pistachio and kataifi pastry by your favourite Irish chocolatier.

“Try it here in Ireland, even better than the original Dubai Chocolate Bar.”

Owner Denise Buckley said the demand for this bar is “unlike anything” they’ve ever seen.

She said: “Orders have skyrocketed by over 500 per cent, and people are reordering in bulk.

“The feedback has been phenomenal — people are absolutely in love with this bar.”

WHERE TO BUY

The Dubai Chocolate Bar is set to exclusively launch at Avoca Stores in the coming weeks.

For now customers can find the bar stocked in their Mullingar store or order it online.

A large team of master chocolatiers are now working 24 hours a day to produce this liquid gold.

They have had to triple the size of their team over the last two months to keep up with demand

And they’ve even dropped 10- and 20-bar multipacks to keep up with the insatiable demand.

For those who may prefer a little less pistachio, their Bueno Bliss Bar, costing €4.95, oozes with a creamy hazelnut filling.

Those who like a little sweet and savoury, the homemade salted caramel frogs, retailing at €8.95, will take you on a trip down memory lane.

The Mullingar based chocolate factory and sweet shop, which opened in 2022, has caused a major stir on TikTok.

Sugar Plum Sweetery’s Denise and David Buckley said: “Inspired by the magic of Willy Wonka and the nostalgia of childhood wonder, we embarked on a quest to craft extraordinary chocolates that were not just unique but exclusive to our sweetery.

“And there’s more…hidden within the packaging of some of our products are Golden Tickets!

“Yes, just like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, we’ve added these tickets randomly, waiting for you to discover. If you’re the lucky finder of one of these Golden Tickets, you’re in for a treat.”

Eagle-eyed Apple fan spots ‘clever’ HIDDEN secret in three iPhone wallpapers – but can you see it too?

A SAVVY Apple fan has spotted a “clever” hidden secret in the official iPhone wallpapers.

The Easter egg is carried across Apple’s latest three models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and the new iPhone 16e.

Screenshot
The iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16e, all lined up – can you spot the trend?

Apple only unveiled the iPhone 16e last week, and it won’t be in stores until Friday, February 28.

The shiny new gadget is the cheapest of the lot, coming in at £599 / $599.

And this fresh addition means that there’s a fun design treat in the design of the wallpapers.

The discovery was made by a Reddit user, who admitted: “Didn’t even notice it until Apple lined up all three phones next to each other.”

They revealed: “Each iPhone 16 model’s wallpaper is inspired by the number of camera lenses it has.

“I think it’s pretty cool how the abstract wallpapers for each iPhone 16 model cleverly reference the camera lenses they have.”

Once you notice it, you won’t be able to forget it.

Plain as day, the iPhone 16e has a single camera – and one big circle on its wallpaper.

Then there’s the iPhone 16, with its two vertically stacked cameras. Its wallpaper? Two circles, one above the other.

And for the iPhone 16 Pro, with a triangle arrangement for its three cameras, we get a similar tribute: three circles, overlapping but slightly offset.

Other Apple fans found themselves impressed by the discovery, which had been hiding in plain sight for months.

After all, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro were announced back in September 2024.

One Reddit user joked about giving the eagle-eyed fan a virtual “like”, saying: “Take your upvote.”

Another said: “Woah, I didn’t even notice it!”

OTHER HIDDEN IPHONE SECRETS TO SPOT

Apple fans will know that the iPhone is packed with plenty of clever visual secrets.

For instance, take a look at your iPhone’s Clock app. Don’t tap it – just check out the symbol on your Home Screen.

You might have missed this: the icon is actually a working clock that’s telling the real time.

It’s not just on the main Home Screen, either. It’ll even work if you’re looking at the icon through the drag-down Home Screen search.

It’s the same story for the Calendar app, which will show you today’s date correctly.

Now take a look at the Apple Maps icon. Notice anything interesting?

It’s actually a cut-out of the real map from Cupertino, California, where Apple’s HQ is based.

In fact, you can see the giant ring-shaped Apple Park campus in the top-right corner.

Next, head into the Control Centre (swipe down from the top-right corner) to look at the torch icon.

If you tap it, it’ll change colour to show that the torch is lit up.

But if you look closely, you’ll also notice that the tiny button on the torch moves to signal that it’s switched on. Neat.
