Sydney construction worker Sam Ball went into his first episode of Married At First Sight billed as Australia’s most beautiful man.
Today, he expects to be one of the country’s most hated men after labelling his on-screen wife Elizabeth Sobinoff bigger than other women he’s dated.

“I will probably be hated,” he said. “I am prepared for it. I’ve got a pretty thick skin, I think, so I am ready for it.
“I know what I meant to say. People will believe what they hear and what they see on the television and that is OK. I can take the criticism. I will take the bullet.”
Ball, 26, wears a size 32 to 34 pant and weighs around 105kg while Sobinoff is a size 10.
In last night’s episode, after the couple met for the first time at the altar, Ball said: “I have never really dated girls as big as Elizabeth in the past, to be honest. Maybe I’ll get her running in the mornings or something, drag her out of bed. I don’t know. She’ll be right, we will get her going.”
Clarifying those comments, Ball said he simply wanted to get Sobinoff involved in his lifestyle.
“She is very tall and loud,” he said. “She fills a room when she comes in. She is very confident in her own skin, and I think good on her for being body positive. That said, there are a lot of lifestyle differences between us like eating breakfast; she eats chocolate and Gatorade and I eat a wholesome meal.”
The former rugby player continued: “Health and fitness for me is massive. It helps with depression and a lot of things. Physically I have always dated women in the fitness industry, that is just the truth.”
A prospective partner, though, does not have to be “ripped”.
“It is not just looks for me,” he said.
“It is more about a connection and what a person has to offer personality-wise. Eventually you are going to be old and just talking, you are not going to be sexually active.
“I just want someone to have fun with, to go on adventures, someone who has goals and is very independent.”
