Married At First Sight UK star Brad Skelly looked totally different in throwback snaps shared on social media.
The contestant, who has been under fire in recent days for the comments he made to partner Shona Manderson, is known for being covered from head to toe with tattoos. He has many tattoos on his face, including the Arabic word for 'congratulations' and the Om symbol.
He also had the Punjabi word for 'strength', the Virgo symbol and more tatted on his face. Not many years ago, Brad looked totally different than he does today. He rocked way less tattoos and had a completely different sense of fashion. Fans might not have recognised him as he also sported cropped hair.

His neck and face were still ink-free. He even sported a classic quiff hairstyle that's worlds away. from the long wavy hair he sports on the E4 relationship programme.
Another snap had him posing on a driveway as he donned tight skinny jeans, a plain black t-shirt and a military green jacket. Brad also used to work as a naked butler. He shared photos of himself posing for a Christmas-themed photoshoot at the end of November 2016.

Brad, who works as a model, was paired up with performing arts teacher Shona, 31, as the experts felt their connection would be electric and special.
However, on Wednesday's instalment of the E4 show, experts Paul, Mel, and Charlene, warned Brad that his behaviour towards Shona could be deemed as 'dangerous' as they were forced to step in on the new relationship. The experts interviewed after uncomfortable scenes saw Brad tell his new wife Shona to 'shut up' before he claimed that he 'allowed' Shona to feel all the emotions she wanted to express as their relationship hit a few bumps in recent episodes.
Following the scenes at the commitment ceremony, MAFS UK fans took to Twitter (X) to slam 'entitled' Brad's controlling behaviour as they insisted that Shona was too head over heels to see the red flags in her relationship.
Shona later broke her silence to agree with fans, explaining that she was so 'infatuated' with Brad she could not see what was happening before her eyes. However, when the reality star watched back the scenes last night, she felt 'uncomfortable' reliving the situation and seeing herself so vulnerable.
