New MAFS UK bride ‘was dating groom from show’ before ‘disappearing’ to film new series

ONE of the brides confirmed to be taking part in the upcoming series of Married At First Sight UK dated a groom from last year’s series, before ‘disappearing’ for filming.

Names are beginning to be announced for the much-anticipated series of dating reality show MAFS, which sees its contestants marry strangers in a bid to find their happily ever after.

Amongst those is Amy Kenyon, 29, who works as a wedding coordinator but will be swapping that role to bag the title of bride herself.

And a source has revealed to The Sun that blonde beauty Amy enjoyed a string of dates with former MAFS UK groom Arthur Poremba.

The E4 star, 34, left the matchmaking experiment single after his bride Laura Vaughan, also 34, ended their relationship last year, in their final vow renewal ceremony.

But it looks like it wasn’t long before Arthur had set his sights on Amy, with the pair enjoying a ‘brief fling.’

A source told The Sun of their romance: “Amy and Arthur had been messaging each other for a little while.

“She then disappeared for three months to go on the show and then all of a sudden reappeared one day and he went ‘where the f*** did you go?’

“She said she couldn’t tell him so he asked her if she’d been on Married At First Sight and she confirmed she had.”

The source continued: “They ended up meeting up and going to a rave together after that, but didn’t get on romantically so decided not to pursue things.”

New MAFS sign up Amy and Arthur can be seen in a photo together that they shared on social media.

Amy can be seen with her hair up rocking a glam makeup look, while Arthur stands behind her in a white t-shirt.

A representative for Amy has denied that the pair have dated.

As well as Amy, stunning Lacey Martin, single mum Holly Ditchfield and sunseeker Polly Sellman have all signed up to the E4 reality show to try and find true love.

Joining them on the programme is fitness coach and rugby player Stephen Nolson.

The quartet 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 Lacey is followed by a number of reality stars including Love Island‘s Belle Hassan, while raven-haired Manchester girl Holly’s Instagram account is full of glam selfies.

Polly, 29, divides her time between Kent and Australia, loves a sunny blue sky and having drinks with friends.

Ripped Steven is a real people person determined to help others achieve their fitness goals.

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.”
