All the deeply cringe but equally hilarious first Instagram posts from the MAFS UK 2024 cast

If you scroll all the way back to the first Instagram post from each of the MAFS UK 2024 cast members, you really do learn a lot. Some have cleaned up their profiles, whilst others have obvious throwbacks to when life was definitely not the same as getting married on a reality show.

From cute pictures with friends, to cringe posts about their mums reading 50 Shades of Grey (yes, really) it’s been a wild social media ride for this lot. Prepare to go back in time to Instagram filters, lines of hashtags and posting about everything you ever did.

Here’s a rundown of all our fav MAFS UK 2024 cast members, and their first posts on Instagram.

Emma Barnes

Emma doesn’t have many posts on Instagram, but she’s still got some pretty old pictures up. Her first post dates back to 2016, and looks like a cute reunion picture with some friends. As wholesome as ever!

Adam Nightingale

You know what, this is exactly what I expected from Adam. A picture of his fully tattooed leg, taken on a dirty patio with rubbish in the background. No thought about the aesthetic. Not one bit. The row of hashtags and 👌 emoji are really completing the vibe.

Sacha Jones

Sacha has had a huge transformation over the years, and her Instagram is basically a diary of all the different lives she’s lived. One of her first Instagram posts shows her as a brunette, living it up in Ibiza.

Every single post on Alex’s Instagram is him topless, showing off his ridiculously huge muscles. So the only thing that differentiates this one is that it’s the first one. If you swipe through, the second pic is a Mike Tyson comparison, which is very icky I’m afraid. Is anyone else feeling a little intimidated right now?

Holly Ditchfield

Holly has done a pretty good job of cleaning up her Instagram, so her first post is from a holiday, only last year. Boo!

Caspar Todd

Of course Caspar’s Instagram is called Caspar in the Country, and reflects his life out on a mega fancy estate in the New Forest. His first post was a “welcome to Caspar in the Country” video, and shows him chopping wood, walking his dogs, hanging out on the beach, cooking and drinking beer. Looks like a pretty good set up – I’m jealous!

Polly Sellman

Polly has some great throwbacks on her Instagram page, the first being a very black and white Instagram in-app filtered snap of her and her sister. It was posted 11 years ago, all the way back in 2013.

Kieran Chapman

I don’t think Kieran will ever scrub up his Insta page, and I hope he never does. Alongside throwbacks to his life as an actual clown, Kieran’s first posts are a bunch of pictures of garden gnomes??

However, I simply had to include a picture of the 50 Shades of Grey books that he posted in 2021, with the caption: “Lol.. Mam’s got a busy schedual [his spelling, not mine] reading and so…”. I feel a bit unwell.

Lacey Martin

Nathan Campbell

Nathan looks like he’s fresh out of a ’90s boyband, so it’s only right his Instagram looks this way, too. “Living life 😎,” he said.

Kristina Goodsell

Kristina’s first Insta post was in 2022, and was taken from a hen do in Brighton. The all-green ‘fit vibe is really giving.
