The Married at First Sight larrikin reveals his romantic secrets
He says the reality series was “heavily edited” to make him look like a villain, but Nasser Sultan has no regrets about his time on Married at First Sight Australia, raving, “I’m on cloud nine after the show. It was the best thing I’ve ever done and it’s changed my life. I would 100% do it again – I’d apply for the Kiwi version if I could!”
Drinking an espresso martini at top Auckland restaurant The Sugar Club as he watches the sun go down over the Waitemata Harbour, the Sydney-based star, 51, tells Woman’s Day that his fellow contestants are now among his best mates.
“And I’ve made 50,000 new friends on Instagram who invite me to dinners and birthday parties at their homes. I go because I’m embracing all the opportunities, like this trip to New Zealand. This city is just insanely beautiful. I’ll be telling everyone to visit Auckland.”
However, it hasn’t all been positive for Nasser, who has had to contact the police due to death threats and racist hate mail. The personal trainer – who was born in Egypt and moved to Australia with his family at 13 – reveals, “Someone rang up to say there was a hit out on me and the cops took it very seriously. Someone even followed me around when I was out on my scooter and I had to lose them.
“There were also messages left for me, like, ‘You filthy Muslim terrorist, you can’t come here and mess with our women!’ It was so bad, I had to change my phone number.”
