If there's one thing we've learned about watching reality telly for a good chunk of our adult life it's that when it comes to reality telly stars, never judge a book by its cover.
For example, one glance at Married at First Sight gym bro Ross McCarthy's Instagram and your average social media viewer might feel a tad intimidated by this tatted muscle man, but after a deep dive (in the name of work, obv), we've learned that he's a total gentle giant; one that adores his daughter more than anything (his grid pics with his daughter are nothing short of heart warming).
The MAFS UK 2024 was also born deaf, so wears two hearing aids, but according to Ross, he has never let this define who he is and what he wants to do it life.
We might be in love. Buy hats, everyone.
