MAFS star Connie looks completely different in throwback picture

From the moment we met Connie, she became an instant favourite among viewers – but just a couple of years ago, we’d have never recognised her.

From the moment Married At First Sight introduced Connie Crayden, she became an instant hit with viewers.

The 27-year-old marine biology student broke hearts after she revealed she does most activities by herself, doesn’t have many friends and thinks she’s not good enough for most partners – which made seeing her instant connection with “husband” Jonethen Musulin all the more welcome.

Connie and Jonethen got “married” this week.

They were an instant hit with viewers.

Connie was an undeniable knockout on her wedding day – but in newly-resurfaced pictures from her Instagram account, it’s clear she’s undergone quite a dramatic transformation in recent years.

In the photos, taken in 2015, the now-brunette reality TV star sports bleached blonde hair and a very different look.

Connie’s not the only MAFS star who looks completely different these days. Cathy Evans, one of the first brides to get hitched, underwent a stunning physical transformation prior to appearing on the show, even going so far as to describe herself as a “different person”.

In a 2016 video posted to YouTube, Cathy explained how she gained 20 kilos before moving from New Zealand to Australia the year before.

Cathy said she managed to drop the kilos and her body fat by lifting weights, focusing on a different body part every session, and following the popular ketogenic diet.

“I haven’t done any cardio, it is just heavy training and nutrition that helps me and I’m very happy with that,” she said.

Cathy’s transformation isn’t just through fitness and diet, with the reality star also spending big on cosmetic work.

According to Daily Mail Australia, Cathy has also spent $20,000 on her appearance, which includes breast implants, Botox in her chin and forehead and lip fillers.
