The trio follow the show's first official pairing, Kristina and Kyle, who feature in a new teaser trailer ahead of the series launch next month.
Glam office manager Lacey, 27, is followed by a number of reality stars including Love Island's Belle Hassan, while 29-year-old Huddersfield girl Holly's Instagram account is full of glam selfies.
Careers advisor Polly, 28, divides her time between Kent and Australia, loves a sunny blue sky and having drinks with friends.
A source said: "This year's Mafs is one of the hottest ever, with loads of great looking and fun brides and grooms.

"Bosses think they've struck gold with the perfect blend of people who are both relatable and entertaining, and it'll make for TV gold."
Last week we exclusively revealed dog walker Kristina, 30, and mechanic Kieran, 28, as the first couple to tie the knot.
In a first look clip, cheeky Newcastle lad Kieran slips in a pair of gross false teeth before his wife-to-be makes her way down the aisle.
He raises a finger to his lips to the families gathered so that they don't ruin his prank, and he anxiously waits to meet his new partner.

Watch as MAFS couple reveal their romantic engagement with stunning proposal
Kristina, wearing a traditional white dress, is walked down the aisle by her dad, and her face drops as she spots the protruding gnashers.
She can barely bring herself to look at Kieran who enthusiastically asks: "Are you alright, are you ok? What's your name?"
The voiceover reveals Kristina's real feelings as she exclaims: "These teeth. What the f**k?"
It's certainly a bold move and a show first.
Despite his bravado Kieran is actually nervous.
He says: "I think the teeth could make us look a little bit immature. I'm a little bit nervous to see how it goes.
"This could really end up bad. I just want to know if this girl's fun."
Though the show's failures far outweigh its success stories, Kieran and Kristina will no doubt be hoping they can laugh off the prank and replicate the real life love of former Mafs alumni Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.

The couple, who met on the programme in 2022, recently announced their engagement.
They shared on Instagram: "We’ve been keeping a little secret.
"A week ago the absolute love of my life asked me to marry her from me being a little slow on the uptake, thinking Zoe had just gone a little overboard for date night to Bobo setting himself on fire, it was perfect and chaotic and just very 'us'.
"Not to be cliché but I genuinely didn’t think that this type of love actually existed, to have someone who loves you, cares and respects you as much as you do them, is the most incredible feeling.. and now I get to marry my best friend instead of a stranger!
"I guess we have a particular TV show to thank for setting us up on the wildest 1st date ever.. so thank you @e4mafsuk@e4grams."

But, for Kieran, it remains to be seen if he's bitten off more than he can chew.
Married At First Sight UK returns to E4 and will be available to stream on Channel 4 VERY soon. The rest of the singles will be revealed in the coming weeks.
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."
