The snap, which was taken in a gym locker room, shows how much the divisive MAFS star has changed since he appeared on the Channel Nine series in 2019.

But he still has the same cocky grin he had three years ago.

He was public enemy No. 1 during MAFS’ sixth season when he body-shamed his ‘wife’ Elizabeth Sobinoff on their wedding day.

Last year, Sam revealed his pride at being accepted into the Royal Australian Regiment.

Posing in his army greens, he shared a lengthy Instagram post about his journey into the military and expressed how proud he was to be Australian.

‘Every time I put on this uniform I can’t help but be proud of who I am and what it represents to me,’ he wrote.
