MAFs UK 2024's bride Holly Ditchfield is stealing the spotlight on the show, with her transparency about her past life experiences and how they've moulded her into the woman she is today. At 29, Holly, a professional beautician, is nailing it as an entrepreneur, running her own lash salon, Lash Lounge, from her bedroom in Huddersfield. She's now posted a throwback snap, showing her looking unrecognisable.

Taking to TikTok, Holly flaunted her remarkable transformation since becoming a mum. Holly's path to motherhood started young as she welcomed her son Dec at 16 after not knowing she was pregnant until she was 37 weeks along. She is also mum to daughter Daisy, nine. While the throwback snap still shows Holly as a brunette, the MAFS bride has switched up her look, opting for an even darker hair colour and a completely different makeup style. There's speculation that she may have had some lip filler, but Holly hasn't confirmed this herself.

Her journey on MAFs UK 2024 included candid moments where she shared her experience as a single mum and expressed hope that her match, Alex Henry, would embrace her world as it is.

Addressing past discouragements head-on, she recalled a harsh comment in a TikTok post, saying: "HIM: You're never going to meet anyone looking like that," alongside a snap of her holding a baby, hinting at a former partners put-down. She hit back with a series of dazzling pictures flaunting her glam makeover, showing off just how much she has changed.

MAFs UK 2024 isn't Holly's first encounter with the Married at First Sight universe. Before appearing on the show, she struck up a friendship with 2023 bride, Tasha Jay. The pair have shared numerous snaps together on Instagram, suggesting they're quite close.

Before the show, Holly revealed that while she's never had trouble attracting potential partners, they've never been husband material. She's on the hunt for her Prince Charming - someone who is "cheeky, masculine and charming, and who is willing to make her a cup of tea and love her for who she really is."

Today, Holly has tied the knot with Alex Henry, who has been at the heart of controversy on the E4 reality show, despite his nuptials only being shown just last month.
