Married At First Sight Australia bride loses almost 2 stone and transforms her look after being body shamed by groom

A bride on Married At First Sight Australia transformed her entire appearance after being body-shamed by her groom on their big day. 

Elizabeth Sobinoff, 29, was matched with model Sam Ball on series six of the hit reality show.

And she lost over one and a half stone after discovering Sam had said he’d “never dated a girl as big as her” when the show first aired Down Under in 2019.

The jewellery store worker decided to opt for the 5:2 diet, which involved eating less than 600 calories per day on two-consecutive days every week.

Additionally, Elizabeth started hitting the gym several times a week in a bid to “reduce stress” after husband Sam, who is a model, also said he “hopes to get her running in the mornings”. 

Finally, Elizabeth completed her transformation by revamping her original style and ditching her blonde hair extensions in favour of a more toned-down, glamorous brunette look.

Though now Elizabeth prefers long brunette locks

Of her new look, she previously shared: “It’s still very much me.

“I know people are going to say, ‘Well, you look completely different to how we saw you [on the show]’  – but don’t always focus on the outer shell.

“This has always been me. We grow, as people. I don’t glorify weight [loss] and be like, ‘I’m better now’.”

Reality star Elizabeth also attributes her fluctuating weight to her two chronic health conditions. 



Elizabeth admitted she knew people would notice she looks different to how she appeared on series six

She also manages chronic health conditions, which affect her weight and lifestyle

She suffers from porphyria, a blood disorder that affects the liver and other organs.

Elizabeth also has a mild form of Lupus, which is an autoimmune disease. Selena Gomez and Hollyoaks star Kelle Bryan are just two women in the public eye who have opened up about their battle with the disease.

Married At First Sight Australia fans will have to keep tuning into the show to see how Elizabeth and Sam’s relationship progresses following his comments.

Though try to avoid spoilers: series six has already aired in Australia.

Married At First Sight Australia airs on E4 at 7.30pm
