Kieran Chapman is one of the new grooms starring in Channel 4's Married At First Sight UK, with the mechanic quickly becoming a firm favourite with reality TV fans. The 28 year old, who is also a circus performer, has delighted viewers with his cheeky comments and fun personality so far, with many rooting for him and wife Kristina to last.

Freshly unearthed photographs show that Kieran used to look very different to his current self. The Newcastle lad previously sported red hair and a much shorter beard, making him look unrecognisable. An old selfie shows Kieran smouldering while wearing a red checked jacket and white shirt, with messy copper hair.

Kieran proved to be fun from the very moment he arrived at the altar on MAFS, with the groom sporting fake teeth in a bid to surprise his unsuspecting bride Kristina, 31. The pair instantly hit it off luckily and spent their honeymoon in the extravagant Koh Samui Hotel in Thailand, which is part of the Ritz Carlton collection.

While many of the other MAFS couples spent time arguing or disagreeing during their honeymoon, Kieran and Kristina got to know one another and struggled to stop laughing as they enjoyed their time together. MAFS fans have been cheering the couple on as they eagerly wait to find out if Kieran and Kristina's romance is still going strong.

Taking to social media to comment on a clip of Kieran and Kristina, one MAFS fan said: "Best couple of MAFS UK ever! You’re so so cute together." Another said: "OMG, please say this means you're a couple!!" Someone else added: "Best couple in the history of mafs!!! Can't wait to see what the future holds for these 2!"

MAFS couples do not reveal if their marriage worked out or not until the entire series has finished airing, in order to allow fans to watch the programme without spoilers. However, Kieran and Kristina have shared a clip on Instagram together thanking viewers, making many fans hopeful that the couple's marriage has stood the test of time.

As they walked down a street together, Kieran told the camera: "Thank you for all the support guys, we love you so much." Kristina added: "We love and appreciate you so much." Kieran then signed off the clip by saying: "We love you, bye."
