Was the Sam and Ines affair fake?

In February 2021 Sam revealed the alleged 'affair' was completely fake.

In fact, the 26-year-old Aussie claims the romance was staged by producers after they forced him into acting a certain way.

Taking to his Instagram Story, Sam claimed: "They pulled me into a dark room and asked me to do the Ines scenes - they set that up. They made Ines DM me on the phone, that was all staged.

"I did what I was asked to do with all of that. I didn't really care what it looked like. I was in the zone. I've acted before in TV commercials and it was a job for me.

"I got paid to do this by the way. I got paid to do it this, just like everyone else."

He continued: "Then all the Ines stuff started happening. I throw her on the bed on that date night - not even five seconds later, the producers come in and de-mic you.

"I didn't sleep with Ines that night, that didn't happen. I didn't sleep with anyone on the show... mark my words."
