The most rogue and random friendships to come out of the MAFS UK 2024 experiment

Caspar was terrible at finding love, but boy is he good at making mates

Absolutely nobody found love during MAFS UK 2024, so our only saving grace is that a few nice friendships were formed. Yes, every couple split up. And yes, most of the cast are beefing now. But among all of this a few cast members have managed to be mates since filming wrapped.

They’ve been hanging out since the show, and sticking up for each other on their Instagram stories as the drama has unfolded on screen. Here is a rundown of all the most random friendships that have spawned from the MAFS UK 2024 experiment.

It turned a lot of heads, namely Hannah’s, when Stephen arrived at the reunion and Holly went over to hug him. She literally ran across the room and branded him her “baby” before giving him a pretty awkward and long embrace.

The experts, as with all of us at home, thought it was all for show and to just rile up Hannah. But, it looks as though Holly and Stephen actually are really close. No, I’m not joking! They’ve been hanging out together since the show, and Stephen referred to Holly as “like family” and his “bestie”. Sure?!

I saw not a single moment of Charlie and Caspar interacting during the experiment, but then they arrived together at the reunion. Whilst neither of them found love, they found each other.

Posting about Caspar on Instagram, Charlie said: “Honestly the love I have for this boy. He was truly my rock during MAFS. A friend for life. Watching him have my back when I needed it the most was emotional to watch and I may not have found love on MAFS but I certainly found a dear friend!”

Cute!

Hannah and Ryan

Hannah and Ryan were a very random pairing on the show. They were coupled up with other people, then it was thought Hannah had recoupled with Orson, and a few times Ryan’s name was thrown into the mix. Then, at the reunion, they arrived together to “support” one another.

Speaking on her Instagram, Hannah explained she and Ryan are close friends after the show. “Me and Ryan built a really lovely friendship when we both got out of the experiment and that is all it has ever been! We have never dated and we have never been in a relationship,” she said.

“If anybody actually took a minute to ask us we would both have happily confirmed that but no! Instead it was playground whispers, rumours and a public ambush off of hearsay YET again!”

Despite having hugely different vibes, Sacha, Kieran and Holly have formed a trio since the show. Kieran and Sacha in particular have gotten so close there were rumours they’d had a post show couple swap! They’ve obviously said this wasn’t true and they’re just friends, though. Apparently someone who trained with Sacha’s dad heard the rumour, and just went with it.

When asked who her besties from the show are, Sacha shared a picture of Kieran and Holly. She described Holly as “one of the most loyal, loving and supportive women I have ever met.”

Polly and Kieran

Polly and Kieran have been posting together loads since the experiment, and she is another bride who he’s had to confirm he’s not dating. I mean, he did refuse to kiss his actual wife and then planted one on Polly at a dinner party, so you can see where people were coming from.

Polly and Kieran have been pictured at the pub together, and there was even one pic on her Instagram story which looked like the two of them outside a hotel.
