Married At First Sight Australia star Elizabeth Sobinoff has lost nearly two stone after her groom made hurtful comments about her weight.

During the show, Elizabeth was matched up with model Sam Ball.

However, the reality star was horrified after realising Sam made remarks about her figure on the series.

On the show, the model told the crew that he “never dated a girl as big as her”.

But while things obviously didn’t work out for the couple, Elizabeth used the comments as an inspiration for her weight loss.

The star has lost weight by taking part in the 5:2 diet and regularly attending the gym.

The popular diet involves fasting two days per week and eating normally for the other five days.

Opening up on her figure, Elizabeth previously highlighted the importance of not focusing on the “outer shell”.

She told WHO magazine: “It’s still very much me.

“I know people are going to say, ‘Well, you look completely different to how we saw you last year.’

“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’.”

As well as suffering from Lupus, Elizabeth also battles porphyria, a blood disorder.

Due to her health conditions, the star says her weight can “fluctuate” when she’s unwell.
