WIFE SWAP SCANDAL
Lizzie shot to fame in MAFS Oz in 2018 for season six, which was one of the most explosive series’ the franchise has ever aired.
But her marriage to Sam Ball ended in disaster, with him having an affair with Ines Basic.
Outraged viewers watched Ines and Sam cheat by spending the night together in a Gold Coast hotel room.
However, the controversial groom has since revealed the alleged affair was completely fake.
He claimed the romance was staged by producers after they forced him into a dark room and told him to make-up the romance.
Sam ranted on Instagram: “Thank you to all you guys in the UK enjoying the show because I’m about to ruin it for you.
“So the experts don’t pick the couples, the producers do. They have a list of people they have to find and approach them on Instagram and ask you to go on the show.
“I actually did apply to go on the show, that’s the funny part. But I know Elizabeth didn’t apply.”

Elizabeth was invited back by producers for a second chance at finding love.
She returned as an intruder bride mid-way through production on season seven and decided to walk down the aisle once again in the hope of finding her happy ever after.
The star was matched with former AFL star and aspiring actor Seb Guilhaus this time round.
Their romance quickly blossomed, and the loved-up couple decided to stay together during the final vows ceremony.
After the show ended in April 2020, they announced plans to move to Sydney’s beachside suburb of Dee Why together.
But the stars shocked fans when they amicably split in January 2021 but refused to reveal exactly why they called it quits.
Despite not being romantically involved, Seb defended his ex-girlfriend against online trolls in the wake of their split announcement.
BIG TIME INFLUENCER
Since launching to fame on MAFS Australia, she has become a star in her own right, with a legion of fans.
Lizzie is now a social media influencer and often advertises beauty products to her 380k Instagram followers.
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.”
