Sam Ball is not dead.

The Married At First Sight ‘villain’ confirmed he was alive and well on Thursday after fans supposedly expressed genuine concern for his welfare.

Several followers in Australia and the UK had apparently messaged him because he hadn’t posted on Instagram in four days. 

Not dead! Sam Ball has posted to Instagram to address a bizarre rumour that he's died after being inactive on social media for days. 'To everyone asking I went away for 4 days, I’m not dead,' the 28-year-old wrote on his Instagram Stories on Thursday

Sam, 28, who has previously gone through extended absences on social media, hit back at the death rumours on his Stories. 

‘To everyone asking, I went away for four days, I’m not dead,’ he wrote.

‘I hope you’re all well and having a great week!’ he added, before uploading a photo of himself smiling and looking perfectly health.

Earlier this month, the controversial reality star shared a video of himself flaunting his ripped physique and pert derrière in a pair of grey shorts.  

‘Flexing into the start of the week checking on my progress after a solid Hiit workout!’ he captioned the clip, in which he showcased his impressive muscles.

‘I feel like I have found the perfect balance across all different styles of training at the moment from swimming to running, weights to endurance workouts making me feel strong, fit and healthy.’

What's the truth? Sam was publicly slammed a number of times after he was accused of fat shaming Elizabeth, before the bombshell video emerged of her doing the same prior to the ceremony. Sam is pictured with Elizabeth on their wedding day in 2019

Sam, who is now enrolled in the Australian Army, became public enemy number one in 2019 when he appeared on season six of Married At First Sight.

He body-shamed his wife Elizabeth Sobinoff on their wedding day – although he later accused her of doing the same thing to him – and cheated on her with another bride, Ines Basic.

The former tradesman faced a second wave of backlash recently when his season of MAFS aired in Great Britain on the E4 channel.
