You won't believe what Sam Ball from MAFS is doing now!

And he looks completely different. - by Penelope Kilby
  • 21 Jan 2020

Since he announced his exit from Instagram in June, 2019, Sam Ball has been MIA.

Until now!

WATCH: MAFS STAR SAM BALL QUITS INSTAGRAM REVEALING HE NEEDS A BREAK

The Married at First Sight season six star was spotted by some clever fans this month, working in a bottle shop in Coolangatta, Queensland.

'I can confirm he is working in a bottle-o in Coolangatta,' a viewer told fan page MAFSFunny, alongside a snap with the former model and aspiring actor.

And while he looks almost unrecognisable with a shaved head and in uniform, the controversial 2019 cast member looks happy and healthy.

'I’ve done it really hard since leaving school. I’ve worked away as a FIFO and it sort of stems from that,' Sam told WHO back in June, after admitting his mental health had taken a beating since taking part in the social experiment.

'Once the show happened and all the poor choices on my form... Everything came crumbling down.'

Luckily for Sam, he had his family – who live in Byron Bay – to lean on.

'My family got into my head and said, "You need to see someone."'

That's when he got professional help. 'There was a time that I didn’t feel like a man… It was a bit embarrassing,' he revealed.

'I was having days I couldn’t get up and train. I’ve never been in that position where I literally couldn’t function – I just couldn’t figure out how.'

A professional prescribed Sam medication which he says has helped him get his life back together. 'I needed something to get me functioning again,' he explained.
