OPENING UP
It came a year after she opted for a more natural look and dissolved her face fillers.
The Nottingham-based screen star has kept fans in the loop with her journey and recently confided she was "stripping it all back so I can heal."
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.'
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?'
'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.'
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
Shona added: "The no make-up thing as I've got older hasn't been a big thing for me because I'm not actually that good at make up to make myself look that different but no fake tan???
"I find that the hardest. It's how I felt at first when I dissolved my over done filler last year & got rid of my hair extensions.

"Sooo naked. But you're not naked, you're just you. It's about loving yourself through all stages.
"I haven't even plucked my eyebrows or waxed my upper lip & it's not about letting myself go, it's about letting myself be.
"It's all part of the healing. Unfiltered, unedited, unafraid with my lil greys, eczema & acne spots. We just keep on riding the wave."

Speaking in a new interview with Dejon, 26, Meg was asked about Movie Night and the moment his connection with bombshell Andrada Pop was revealed.
