Despite Mark claiming MAFS left him ‘unemployed’ he’s just been signed to Ugly Models Agency

The agency look for ‘wacky and unique


Right, cast your mind back to MAFS UK 2023, and you might vaguely remember one of the grooms, a certain Mark Kiley.

Mark was part of an intruder couple, with him and his husband Sean arriving a couple of weeks after the main batch of couples got married.

Sadly their marriage didn’t work out and the pair parted ways, and shortly after the show aired Mark had some very choice words to say about his time on MAFS UK 2023.

Mark revealed his annoyance at how the show had left him “single and unemployed” and he came out of the whole thing with absolutely “nothing.” Yikes.

Speaking to The Sun, he complained: “When I went on the show, I quit my job and I missed a prepaid holiday that I spent £1,700 on. I left everything to do this, only to come out with nothing.

“I know it was my choice but it felt like I was mis-sold this dream that it would work and I would say goodbye to my normal life.”

When MailOnline then asked for comment on this from Channel 4, it clapped back with this response: “All contributors are thoroughly prepped for the experience of being on Married at First Sight UK, a prominent TV reality series.

“We stress to all cast that the series should not be seen as a vehicle to gain fame or celebrity and warn against unrealistic expectations of this nature.” What a comeback.

Well it seems Mark not be as “unemployed” as he once claimed to be, as he excitedly announced last week that he’d been signed to UGLY Models Agency.

UGLY Models Agency state they have “the most individual, wacky and unique looks in the industry. Not to mention our human pin-cushions, huge mouths, face gurners and contortionists!”

The agency focuses on people who offer a more “unique” look, with Mark excitedly announcing the news on his Instagram, writing: “Ending the year on a high! With signing to @uglymodels I am beyond excited. I mean look at these pics!!! Jheeez!!”
