Luke’s had many wild transformations: Here’s what his life was like before MAFS UK 2024

Luke is one of the newest cast members to join MAFS UK 2024, although he’s already given his bride “the ick” which isn’t exactly what you want to hear. Luke was originally from Malta but came over to the UK in 2015 and has described: “The UK is my wife but Malta is my mother.”

Luke works as a prison education manager by day and an entertainer by night, with his job having made him wear some, let’s say unique costumes and outfits. He also used to be a professional bodybuilder and has gone through quite a transformation.

From long hair to moustaches and major muscles, let’s have a look at Luke’s life and transformation before MAFS UK 2024.

He used to be a professional bodybuilder

Whilst 30 year old Luke now works as a prison education manager, he was originally a professional bodybuilder and the pictures are absolutely wild. He started bodybuilding when he was 17 and did his last show in 2018 when he was 24.

He won the world amateur championships in 2016 and has previously explained that “people assume I’m a bit of a meathead until they talk to me.”

He was also the 2015 Junior IFBB European Bodybuilding Overall Champion and Malta’s 2015 MFBBF National Champion, and before bodybuilding, Luke was part of the national water polo squad.

His current job is as a prison education manager

According to Luke’s website, he’s been working with young offenders in prison since 2019, saying: “I have worked with young offenders since 2019 because I’ve always believed that everyone has a story worth hearing, regardless of their past.

“In a world where empathy can often be scarce, I strive to bring understanding and compassion to each individual I meet.”

He’s made a whole table?!

Alongside an entire table and benches, Luke’s also made some very aesthetic looking wooden coasters. Still don’t know if it was necessary for him to be shirtless when he was showing off his woodworking skills in MAFS though…

I’m not sure how to feel about the long hair look tbh

Luke revealed he used to have long hair, and would braid it for when he did his bodybuilding competitions, but cut it all off once he arrived in the UK.

He had a moustache era too

It looks like Luke used to work on a farm as a stablehand and I swear this man really has lived 1000 lives and done a million different jobs.

And he’s worn some interesting outfits as part of his job

Luke explained how he first got into the entertainment industry, explaining on his website: “Working in the entertainment industry came out of the blue for me in 2017 when a guy approached me at the gym, for a change, with a very odd request.

“His mate had bailed on a gig, and he needed someone to help him that same night. Never saying never, I agreed, and that night was a turning point. I realized how much I enjoyed dropping my serious mask and just have the ability to be myself.”

I’m sorry but this is cursed
