MARRIED At First Sight fans have crowned one of last night’s faces “the real star of the show” – and they’re not even a bride or groom.
Polly Sellman’s best friend Alfie quickly endeared himself to the nation as he fought her corner after she tied the knot with barber Adam, 33.

It was far from love at first sight for the newlyweds with Adam admitting he wasn’t attracted to Polly.
Adam’s less than enthusiastic reception to seeing Polly for the first time, led Alfie to say: “‘I’m pretty disappointed he hasn’t complimented her. It’s just awkwardness and silence.”
Alfie sought out Polly for a one-on-one chat during the reception after Adam told him she “wasn’t his usual type”.
He said: “I still have reservations. He openly said you’re not his type. He said he normally goes for unreal brunettes.”
Viewers appreciated his honesty, with one writing: “The real star is Polly’s best friend. Very perceptive, was right on about Adam from the off.”
Another said: “Go on Alfie!! The nation is with you.”
A third shared: “Alfie speaking for us all. Tell her she looks beautiful!!!”
A fourth posted: “How lovely is Alfie Polly’s best friend? He really showed up shallow Adam for the a**ehole he is.”
Adam complained that Polly, 28, wasn’t been what he’d been “expecting” after their first meeting.
Careers advisor Polly complimented the Nottingham lad on his teeth and aftershave, but Adam failed to return the pleasantries.
In a piece-to-camera, Polly raved about “very attractive” Adam and complimented his “beefy” physique and “nice haircut”.
She gushed: “I do fancy him.”
But Adam’s thoughts couldn’t have been more different. He said: “The initial attraction’s not 100 percent there. She’s not my usual type. Ten out of ten for me would be petite, brunette, dark features, tan. She’s not what I expected.”
He isn’t the only groom to have served their bride with a brutal insult this week.
Caspar Todd, 34, told Emma Barnes, 31, he didn’t find her “curves” attractive.
The newlyweds sat down for a chat following a full 24 hours of being married.
Emma told him that she’d had a “fabulous” first day and then asked how he was feeling.
But a despondent Caspar told her: “I’ve been struggling, I don’t know if you’ve felt it. But I haven’t felt that spark I was hoping to feel.”
Later, he said: “I’ve rarely gone for the curvier person,” leaving his bride gobsmacked.
She replied: “Do you think I look sexy tonight?”
Caspar bluntly replied: “No.”
