Inside Married At First Sight’s VERY boozy reunion party – with snubbed star and awkward encounters
THE Married At First Sight UK cast have reunited in a boozy off-screen party that proved just as dramatic as the show itself.
With a snubbed star and awkward encounters the party proved a chaotic end to the show’s standout season.
The stars of MAFS UK 2024 all gathered at the Trinity Buoy Wharf last night to celebrate the end of a season filled tears and non-stop drama.
Trinity Buoy Wharf has been the home of many MAFS dinner parties and commitment ceremonies but was decked out yesterday for the Boozy Party.
As the drinks kept flowing expert Mel Schilling made a brilliant speech and fashion icon Gok Wan even made a guest appearance.
The room was decked out in purple lighting, a glitter ball DJ set and a huge wedding cake keeping it very on brand.
Many of the show’s most talked about cast members made their way down to London including Adam Nightingale, Hannah Norburn, Holly Ditchfield, Kieran Chapman, Polly Sellman and many more.
Even some past faces made an appearance including last year’s Tasha Jay – who has recently broken up with groom Paul Liba, Erica Roberts and TV star Ella Morgan to include a few.
But, fans were quick to notice one bride from this season who was not in attendance – 30-year-old Charlie Curtis.
Charlie had a very difficult MAFS journey when her and partner Eve Reid got into many explosive rows on the E4 show despite having a perfect wedding day.
The pair’s relationship only continued to go downhill when Charlie threw her ring away after a heated row leading Eve to not move into the apartment with her wife as is traditional on the show.
Even though, the couple made it through the first commitment ceremony they decided to call it quits for good and both left the experiment.
Despite Charlie appearing on the MAFS on-screen reunion her absence from this party was noticed by many.
Taking to Instagram stories to answer fans questions, Charlie admitted: “I had quite a few people ask me this question and I don’t really know.
“A lot of it was to do with my story being over, obviously we all know who (referring to ex-wife Eve) doesn’t want to be involved in anything. Basically didn’t even want to be involved in anything when she was there and we were married, so my journey was kind of cut short due to someone else not taking part.
“But apparently my story was done and dusted at the other reunion but you never saw me at the other reunion so you didn’t get to see anything. You didn’t get to see me talk to the experts, my honesty box at the dinner party which obviously is really frustrating for me because I feel that was a part of my journey regardless to whether Eve was there or not.”
“Fun times,” she added.
Speaking of awkward, two MAFS stars Amy Kenyon and Polly Sellman attented the event despite being at the centre of a bitter feud.
Last week, Amy shared WhatsApp messages online from a fiery row with Polly, accusing her of spreading false rumours about a connection with Adam during partner swap week.
Amy, who insists that her relationship with Adam was purely on a friendship level took to social media to expose Polly’s alleged hypocrisy.
Screenshots revealed Polly had previously defended Amy in private conversations but later appeared to fuel rumours about a potential affair during filming.
Amy told fans: “Proof that the rumours Polly’s fueling aren’t true,” and followed up with a string of screenshots attempting to clarify her stance,” as she exposed their texts.
In one exchange, Amy expressed her frustration, writing:
“I always said to you I’d rather you of told me anything you saw that was putting me in detriment, and you did.
“Screenshot this f*****g convo and put it on ur story.”
The feud escalated when Amy uncovered a comment supporting accusations of inappropriate behavior, which Polly appeared to like.
She said: “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 defended herself in response, claiming: “I genuinely haven’t meant to like that as I deleted it as well. I must’ve skimmed past and liked, but it’s deleted anyway.”
She finsihed her post by addressing the speculation for fans, writing: “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.”
EastEnders legend joins rival soap 20 years after quitting show and the country
EASTENDERS legend Hannah Waterman has joined a rival soap – 20 years after quitting the BBC show.
The actress – who played Laura Beale in the BBC soap – last acted in the UK in 2013 in an episode of Doctors before making thee move down under.
But now after a series of appearances on Australian dramas, Hannah has signed up to appear in a soap again.
Hannah is set to play a magistrate in Home and Away in scenes to air in the UK in December.
A source said: “Hannah moved to Australia years ago for a new life but she’s still acting.
“She loved dipping her toes back into the world of soap briefly and who knows it could mean she finds her way back more permanently.”
The new role comes two years after Hannah tied the knot to former The Bill star husband Huw Higginson.
Huw posted a celebratory shot showing their special day in October 2022 as they posed with their son Jack, 11, on a boat in Sydney.
The Bill actor gushed in his caption: “Got married to my love yesterday. We had the best of days.”
Hannah, who played Ian Beale‘s third wife Laura in the BBC soap, could be seen gazing lovingly at her spouse as they celebrated their special day.
She wore a patterned, long-sleeve blue frock – perhaps as her something blue – complete with gold strappy sandals and a navy pashmina.
She clutched a bouquet of cream flowers and accessorised with a pair of sunglasses.
The happy couple made the move to Australia in 2014.

The €11.99 Lidl buy can help prevent dampness and condensation in your home – it’s as good as a dehumidifier
WITH the cold weather in full swing, one of the most annoying things in houses across the country is dampness and condensation.
But Lidl Ireland are now selling the perfect buy to stop it, and its a fraction of the price of a dehumidifier.
The Talavera Houseplant is just as effective as a dehumidifier, but costs just €11.99.
The plant comes in a pot measuring 12cm and the plant itself measures between 28 and 41cm.
You can choose from nine varieties, including Bonsai.
In Woodies, you can pick up the Sansevieria 12cm for €10.99, which is a similar type of plant.
They sell the same types of plants in Urban Plant Life from just €9.99, while bigger ones are around €16.99.
Ikea sell them from €10, or you can buy them on Amazon in different sizes.
Not only do these plants help to brighten up your home and bring a bit of nature indoors, but they can also help reduce mould.
Some plants are very good at stopping condensation.
While most plants release moisture into the air via transpiration, some have adapted to conserve water.
They minimise transpiration and reduce humidity levels in their immediate vicinity.
This in turn helps to reduce condensation.
Some examples of plants that have low transpiration rates and help reduce moisture in the air include Cacti and Succulents.
Plants do not absorb all of the moisture, so it’s important to ventilate your home and use a dehumidifier also.
HOW TO PREVENT CONDENSATION
Condensation occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cold surface and is very common on windows during winter.
This interaction causes water droplets to appear.
Keeping your window slightly open at night can help allow some of that warm air to escape preventing a build up on the glass of your window.
Keeping curtains open at night can also help by allowing heat to reach the window panes and preventing the surface being too cold when air hits it.
Drying clothes outside where possible will prevent excess moisture being released into the air which will help avoid water droplets forming on your windows.
And you should always keep windows open when cooking or showering to stop further excess moisture in the air while will rise humidity levels resulting in condensation forming.
It’s important to remove condensation as not only is it unsightly, but it also encourages the growth of mould.
Mould can cause issues for your health, so it’s important to keep on top of condensation to avoid mould growing.
The most effective way to eliminate condensation is by removing the moisture in the air through ventilation and dehumidifiers.
David Domoney, Chartered Horticulturalist and plant expert told Everest: “Houseplants are a wonderful way to naturally clear our homes of excess moisture and toxins, whilst also providing a relaxing and beautiful sight to enjoy.
“Toxins easily build up in our homes through products we use in our daily lives, such as aerosols, fires, cleaning products and more.
“Adding plants is such a beautiful change to make which will also have a positive impact on your life and overall health, as they, with the microorganisms in the soil, neutralise some of the toxins and produce refreshing oxygen, which is great for our respiratory health.”
Warning over common condition with ‘subtle’ symptoms that increases stroke risk & can be discovered with simple check
AN abnormal heartbeat can affect Irish people of all ages, but if untreated, it can lead to heart failure.
That is according to Blackrock Health’s Dr John Keaney, who is an expert in cardiac health.
This week is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Week, which aims to inform people about the condition, which is the most common heartbeat abnormality in Ireland.
It can see people’s heartbeat become irregular and in some cases it can be more than 100 beats every minute.
Dr Keaney says if untreated or undiagnosed, AFib can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure.
Here, he answers questions about Atrial fibrillation and how it affects Irish people.
WHAT IS ATRIAL FIBRILLATION?
ATRIAL fibrillation, commonly referred to as “AFib” or “AF”, is a heart condition where the heart rhythm is irregular and, in many cases, very fast, above 100 beats per minute.
AFib is the most common arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat) in Ireland. It can affect people of any age but is more common in older individuals.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
An irregular heart rhythm caused by AFib can present a variety of symptoms, including dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
People living with atrial fibrillation may also experience heart palpitations, which can feel like a fluttering, pounding, or irregular beating in the chest. These can persist for a few seconds or several minutes at a time.
Leading cardiologist Dr John Keaney of Blackrock Health says: “The most important thing is that people recognise the symptoms, and when something is not right, seek appropriate action with a medical professional.”
HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED?
According Dr Keaney, there are a number of ways atrial fibrillation can present.
Dr Keaney said: “AFib can be asymptomatic, meaning that individuals may be unaware of their irregular heart rhythm.
“AFib is commonly discovered during routine check-ups, when a simple pulse check reveals an irregular heartbeat.
“In some cases, symptoms can be more subtle, such as fatigue or shortness of breath, prompting people to go for tests to investigate.
“In some circumstances, AFib results in a racing heartbeat, at 150 beats per minute or more, which should lead someone to an emergency department or specialist cardiac care unit, bringing this heart condition into sharp focus.
“In more severe cases, AFib goes undetected until it leads to a serious complication such as a stroke. This is why awareness of the condition is so crucial.”
HOW IS AFIB TREATED?
While AFib is not typically life-threatening in itself, it can significantly increase the risk of stroke. The irregular heart rhythm can also be uncomfortable and often needs medical intervention.
Dr Keaney says: “Treatment for AFib is tailored to the individual and may include medications to control heart rate/rhythm or to prevent stroke.
“People with AFib may also undergo cardioversion, which is a procedure that involves delivering a controlled electric shock to the heart, aiming to reset it back into a normal rhythm, or catheter ablation, a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to target and disable the area within the heart responsible for the irregular rhythm.”
WHERE CAN I GO FOR TREATMENT?
If you think you are experiencing irregular heart rhythm, speak to your GP or you can attend Blackrock Health’s Rapid Cardiac Care service, with or without a GP referral.
Dr Keaney adds: “Thankfully, once diagnosed, AFib is treatable and early intervention is key.
“New technologies are emerging all the time and whether it is through medication or advanced procedures like ablation, the goal is to restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce the risk of complications.”
HOW IMPORTANT ARE LIFESTYLE CHANGES?
Dr Keaney says: “Living a heart-healthy lifestyle is important to support management of AFib.
“This means incorporating regular exercise into your routine, aiming for at least 150 minutes a week.
“Maintaining a healthy weight, cutting back on alcohol, quitting smoking and managing blood pressure are also essential.
“Other underlying health conditions should be managed such as thyroid issues and sleep apnoea, as they can play a role in AFib.”
