MAFS: Sam and Ines' tell all - 'we hate each other'

The TRUTH about their affair.
  • 18 Feb 2019

They've been portrayed as Australia's most controversial couple as their affair plays out on screen on Married At First Sight. But New Idea can now reveal that Sam Ball, 26, and ines Basic, despise each other and always have.

“There was never anything between them and they were pushed into this by producers,” says an on-set spy, who went on to detail the extreme lengths crew went to create TV’s most talked-about storyline.

“Ines was actually given Sam’s Instagram username and encouraged into sending him that first message. At that point she’d only spent about five minutes with him and had no idea what his surname was or how to find him online.”

However, once they’d started exchanging messages and committed to the affair, the pair are said to have gone all the way and even slept together. “It’s like Ines and Sam would do anything to generate as much publicity as possible – including having sex,” our source continues.

“They knew they wouldn’t be on the show for very long and wanted to make sure they were the most memorable of the series.”

And as soon as they finished filming, New Idea is told they unfollowed each other on Instagram, barely spoke a word in real life and have been biting their tongues while doing press together as their forbidden romance plays out on screen.

“Sam has obviously got a girlfriend now and he and Ines really can’t stand each other and never could. Their fling was nothing more than an unspoken business agreement between them and producers to ensure maximum impact.

Ines and Sam's path to reality TV infamy has come with a few problems. "Ines' weight has plummeted since the show started airing. She had no idea she’d be portrayed this evil,” adds the source. “As far as she was concerned, she was giving the producers exactly what they wanted and didn’t realise they’d cut out her more lighthearted moments.”

Meanwhile, according to another insider, some film crew and producers have refused to work on the show again. “In particular, a lot of female producers are refusing to return for another season,” the source explains. “They don’t want to be involved in how anti-relationship the show’s become. They want nothing to do with it.”

While some say the couples knew what they’d signed up for, the show has changed from its original premise of a marriage experiment to a show trying to shock for ratings.

“I’ve heard horror stories about how some producers threaten cast to perform on set or they will ‘screw them up in post’,” another source spills. “A lot of the stories are fabricated and the cast told to suck it up and enjoy the fame.”

They reveal how whole scenes are manipulated in the editing suite to create more drama. “Conversations are being completely fabricated. It’s all a sham. Australia’s biggest hoax.”

New Idea approached Channel Nine for comment, however, the network did not respond at the time of going to print.
