Married At First Sight UK viewers were loving Thomas Kriaras’ beefed up new look.
The fan-favourite, whose kind and understanding nature made him popular with viewers, returned for the reunion special. But it wasn’t just his personality that had fans swooning.
As his Instagram followers will know, Thomas has been working hard in the gym and has majorly beefed up. And viewers of the show couldn’t quite believe his new look.

The hunk left the experiment single, after he and “wife” Rosaline Darlington split before the final decision. And fans reckon his new look is his “revenge body”.

Taking to social media, one person said: “Thomas came with the revenge bod.” Another said: “Thomas is a bit of alright! Wonder if he’s still single…”
A third wrote: “Thomas is looking mighty fine.” Someone else added: “Thomas is looking good… Always my fav, followed by Arthur… genuine men.”
Another went on: “Gold star revenge body glow-up from Thomas. No Notes.”

On the show, Thomas said: “When it comes to my physique, Rozz definitely inspired me. I think she wished I was like this at the beginning, so now I am my best self.
“I got my confidence back. Welcome to the gun show!”
Thomas has been showing his Instagram followers his transformation, posing topless and joking it’s all down to “KFC”. But he also took a moment to realise how far he’d come since he started the show – and not just physically.

He said: “Seeing how much I’ve changed this year is really crazy. You don’t really notice it until someone tells you… or you appear on MAFS UK and get to see what you looked like before.
“So many people both from cast, crew and in my normal life had said how much my confidence has grown… but I couldn’t see it?! Not until I watched it all back. That was the hardest thing to begin with – to watch yourself so deflated.”
Thomas said he remembered feeling like his “best self” on his wedding day on the show, but was left feeling “defeated, withdrawn and deeply sad” after being described as a “marionette doll who’d been brought back to life but didn’t know it yet”.

He said: “My confidence was shot and I didn’t even know it. What I’d taught myself over the years is if you show nothing, no one can criticise you. But during the process, I discovered when you do that, no one can see the real you.”
In his post, he thanked his ex Rozz, after the two remained close friends. He went on: “From now on, only positivity and openness.
“That part of me that was so defensive, closed off and sensitive is hopefully gone for good. I can’t wait for you all to see how much further I have to grow!”
