MAFS UK’s ‘secret couple revealed by his ex’ as bride insists pair are ‘100% together’ off screen

MAFS UK’s Polly Sellman has revealed there’s a ‘secret couple’ from the show, insisting they are ‘100% together’ off screen.

Since last year’s series, Adam Nightingale, 33, and Amy Kenyon, 28, have spent significant time together, despite repeatedly denying any romantic involvement.

Polly, however, has no doubt in her mind.

The careers advisor, 28, told The Mirror: “I now 100% believe that they are together.

“If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong, but there is no way that they can be how they’ve been together and spend as much time as they have been together and going off on these holidays and always being on TikTok live together while in bed together – I think Stevie Wonder could see what’s going on there.

“I’m not an idiot. I think everyone knows what’s going on there and maybe they’re trying to long it out to try and stay relevant.”

During their time on the show, Adam and Polly’s relationship was notably turbulent.

Adam admitted that Polly wasn’t his “usual type” and the pair were often seen in blazing rows on-screen.

At the final dinner party, tensions escalated when Polly accused Adam of being a “narcissist”, leading to a heated argument that culminated in Polly throwing red wine in his face.

In contrast, Amy and Adam’s connection appeared to deepen during the wife swap week – where they even shared a bed.

And, earlier this year. they enjoyed a romantic cruise holiday together too.

In last night’s reunion episode, they were asked about their relationship status, with Adam replying: “There’s been no kissing… so far.”

Speaking in a confessional with Adam, Amy said: “I’m not sure what the future holds for me and Adam. I don’t think the book is fully closed.”

But her jaw dropped when Adam replied: “Maybe some little mini Adams could be on the cards… or maybe we could just practice.”

Adam recently insisted he isn’t ruling out a relationship with Amy in the future.

He told The Sun: “I feel like there is chemistry between me and Amy. We do flirt a lot, there’s a lot of flirt banter.

“Whether something progresses, who knows.

“I like how it is at the minute, we’re friends that flirt.

“Who knows? Amy’s single. I think everyone is just too busy with their careers at the moment.”

He previously said: “Me and Amy, she’s like the female version of me. We’re so alike.

“We’ve both said to each other, yeah, we find each other attractive but our friendship’s that good we’d never want to spoil that.”

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.”

Arctic ‘doomsday vault’ takes chilling new delivery to preserve FOREVER if life on Earth is wiped out by nuclear war

A “DOOMSDAY vault” has received a new delivery of crop seeds to preserve forever if the Earth is wiped out by a nuclear war.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is located 430 feet down, deep inside a mountain on the remote Norwegian Arctic island.

This vault is located 430 feet down, deep in the mountain

The vault was set up in 2008 as the ultimate backup plan for the world’s food, and protects plants from all external destruction, like war and disease.

It contains more than 1.3 million seeds from around the world, with 14,000 more samples arriving today.

Today’s delivery includes seeds of Nordic tree species from Sweden and rice from Thailand, according to the Crop Trust.

Executive Director of the Crop Trust Stefan Schmitz said: “The seeds deposited this week represent not just biodiversity, but also the knowledge, culture and resilience of the communities that steward them.”

The vault is not open to tourists and can only be visited as part of an organised trip to the entrance with guides.

The only exception to this is if you are bringing an offering.

The vault’s chambers are only opened three times a year to limit the seeds’ exposure to the outside world.

The seeds are stored in custom-made foil packages inside sealed boxes on the shelves inside the vault.

Temperatures inside the vault sit around -18 degrees Celsius which, alongside limited access to oxygen, can prevent the seeds from ageing.

Executive director of the Crop trust, Marie Haga, said in an interview with TIME magazine earlier this year: “There are big and small doomsdays going on around the world every day.

“Genetic material is being lost all over the globe.”

The vault played a critical role in restoring damaged seed collections in Syria between 2015 and 2019, when the country was ravaged by war.

But the vault’s purpose isn’t just to preserve old and contemporary strains of plants – but to give scientists the building blocks to create new ones, if necessary.

The vault contains enough genetic diversity and DNA to develop new strains that will grow in a future where Earth might be really hot, or really cold, or really dark.

‘Because we are the engine…’ – Ruben Amorim blames results on the pitch for Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s brutal Man Utd cuts

RUBEN Amorim has warned his stumbling stars: You’re the engine of this club – so start driving us forward.

Amorim’s under-performers have picked up just 15 points from 15 games since he arrived in November, and Manchester United are heading for their worst since relegation in 1974.

PA

Their Old Trafford clash with Ipswich tomorrow is a repeat of the Portuguese gaffer’s first game in charge, in November, with United far closer to the drop zone than European one.

Morale was already plummeting as quickly as the team’s league position even before Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s initial round of 250 job cuts over the last 12 months.

And Monday’s news that minority investor Ratcliffe plans to axe another 200 at the end of the season has sent it sliding to rock bottom.

Amorim has already admitted the ultimate blame for any cost-cutting stems from a lack of success on the field.

Now he has hammered home the message to his red-faced Reds, as they go into a game they’d have once been expected to stroll, yet now cannot be tipped to win with any belief.

Amorim insisted: “It is that we have to address all the problems in the club but one important piece at this moment is to understand how we got to this situation.

“It’s a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team because we are the engine of the club… and I want to improve the players, the results and the team.

“It’s always hard for everybody, when they see their friend and team mates losing jobs, but we have to focus on what we can do in this moment.

“We as a club have to understand what we did wrong to get this this and think in terms of solutions.

“We are in a difficult situation and have to fight against those feeling and fight to perform better.”

United’s woeful season has seen them win just two Prem games at home – Everton and Southampton – and the seven defeats already is the same as the year they went down.

Amorim admits all the changes and cuts of Ratcliffe’s purse-tightening regime haven’t helped – yet stressed it all comes down to results.

He added: “This year was really hard for everybody, and we had a lot of changes. But if you have a team that is playing well and wining it is easier for people to understand them.

“But in this moment we are in a difficult period inside the club and on the pitch so we have to fight against this feeling, do our job and try our best to help the team to perform better

“I understand all the critics, you have to accept it and try to change it. But since I arrived I expect to win all the games at home.

“But I don’t feel the pressure because the supporters are amazing. We have to stop and think it is a new game, it can be a new story, so let’s go forward.”

On top of letting staff go, it was already revealed in the past week that United will be stopping free lunches for staff at Old Trafford, instead offering them fruit.

While those working at Carrington will lose access to the same menu as the players for their lunches from next season, instead being offered soup and sandwiches.

Financial results published last week showed the club owe £391m in transfer fees and have seen interest costs since the Glazer family took over in 2005 top £1billion.

While it was also revealed that United had spent a combined £14.5m to sack Erik ten Hag and his staff and let go of sporting director Dan Ashworth.

Two major UK car dealerships to close down as dozens of staff ‘in total shock’ after being told they face being axed

TWO huge car dealerships are closing sparking mass job losses.

Marshall Volkswagen Horsham and Aylesbury are expected to close at the end of March.

Staff were said to be in “total shock” after they were told that they could be out of work as a result of the closures.

An insider told Car Dealer: “No one knew anything about it, not even the managers, so it did come as a total shock.”

“There’s not been any offers made for people to stay on with Marshalls elsewhere but we have been told that a consultation period is going on.

“The hardest bit for me is moving on from all the staff. I love it here, it’s a great bunch and now we’re all just expected to disperse,” they added.

After the bombshell, some of the sales executives from the branches have jumped on LinkedIn to find new work.

Adrian Nastase, a senior sales executive at the Horsham site, wrote: “I’m saddened to announce that I’m now open to new opportunities and seeking a position in the sales department within the motor trade.

“Working at Volkswagen Horsham has been an unforgettable experience – not just professionally, but personally.

“We truly were a family there, and I have loved every moment spent with my colleagues. It’s a tough goodbye, but I’m excited to see what the future holds.

“If anyone knows of any roles or opportunities, I’d appreciate the connection and support.”

The Sun has approached Volkswagen Group UK for comment.

A spokesperson told Car Dealer magazine: “As we’ve said previously, we, along with the whole motor industry, are moving through a period of unprecedented change, prompted by new technologies and changing customer expectations.

“The necessary evolution of the Volkswagen Group UK retailer network, to ensure that we have appropriate representation to meet our customers’ future needs, is a process that has been under way for a couple of years already and will continue into the future.

“We can confirm in this case that Marshall Motor Group’s sites in Horsham and Aylesbury will be closing from the end of next month.

“Marshall Motor Group will be writing to its customers to advise them of alternative sales, service and parts facilities. Due to legal requirements and confidentiality agreements, we cannot provide further details.”

This comes after BCA revealed it is shuttering it’s branch in Banbury, Oxfordshire, with hundreds now set to lose their jobs.

The company , which dubs itself “Britain’s biggest” used vehicle business, is closing their Chipping Warden site.

It will relocate business to existing Bedforshire and Northamptonshire operations.

Employees were told of the unexpected move late January, and given 45 days to prepare.

The final working day will be March 14 before shutters are pulled down permanently.

Staff claimed the news hit “out of the blue” leaving them “shocked and angered”, as reported by Banbury Guardian.

One said: “There are now a lot of people at BCA very upset about the decision.

“We had no notice, the announcement about 200 redundancies and the centre relocating to Bedford just came completely out of the blue.

“Just before Christmas we were getting told to up production and we were smashing a lot more cars out than normal and this is the thanks we get for it!”

The staff member, who is in their 60s, shared fears they will be “too old” to find another job while being too young to retire.

They added how they’ve been “thrown into limbo” over the move.

The Chipping Warden site has been running for nine years.

A spokesperson for BCA said: “BCA confirmed that the Chipping Warden Remarketing Centre is set to relocate to other sites it operates in Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire and has opened consultation with staff.

“Like all businesses, BCA needs to evolve its operational base in line with its growth journey and the changing external environment and needs of our customers to ensure we continue to provide market leading service and support.”
