Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac had his Instagram followers in stitches on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old hilariously poked fun at the cast of Married At First Sight, as he filmed himself using an Instagram filter to achieve overly inflated lips and cheeks.
Seated in his car, the Channel Seven star jokingly announced that he’s signed on to star on the show, after becoming ‘tired of superficial people and relationships’.

‘Hi guys, I can finally reveal that I was contacted by the producers of Married At First Sight, MAFS, and I’ve agreed to do it,’ he said in the Instagram video.
‘I guess I’m just sick of superficial people and superficial relationships, and if anyone can find me love, it’s the experts, yeah.’
Sam also took a swipe at the show’s lacklustre success rate of finding suitable matches, captioning the post: ‘I place my complete faith in the experts and their 100 per cent success rate’.
In the short clip, the presenter used the popular Pillow Face filter on Instagram to reveal what he would look like after getting excessive Botox and fillers.

His followers found the post hilarious, commenting with the likes of ‘I can’t stop laughing’ and ‘man you crack me up, thank you for the laugh’.
On a serious note however, Sam is thriving in his love life, having only recently confirmed that he’s dating glamorous fashion stylist Rebecca James.
On Saturday, Sam shared a lengthy statement on Instagram about his new love, alongside a picture of the pair.

‘This is Bec. We were introduced on Insta last year via our mutual friend,’ he wrote.
‘Bec lives in Melbourne and I’m in Sydney, so the Victorian border restrictions meant it was illegal for us to meet in person.’
Sam said that despite restrictions, the duo were able to form a great friendship using ‘Insta chats, phone calls and Friday zoom drinks’, saying they spoke ‘every single day for almost 6 months’.

‘So when restrictions eased late last year, we could finally meet in person,’ he went on. ‘By this stage I felt like I knew everything about her… except if she was interested in being more than friends.’
He went on to say that over a ‘few Harry Potter marathons and a glass of two of Zonzo’ the pair discovered they both felt the same way – but ‘were just so cautious about ruining the friendship’.
‘Bec is obviously super driven and taking on the world,’ he continued. ‘But it was her calmness and kindness that I was drawn to (and the fact she’s a 17/10). She makes me so happy and I’m absolutely delighted to share her with you guys.’
‘See, 2020 wasn’t all bad,’ he concluded.
