Channel 4 has pulled all previous seasons of Married at First Sight UK from its streaming platforms following “very serious allegations of wrongdoing” made against a small number of past contributors, the broadcaster said.
The BBC reported that two women said they were raped during filming of the dating show, while a third described an allegation of a non-consensual sex act.
The programme sees single people matched by experts to “marry” strangers who they meet for the first time on their wedding day.
The broadcaster said that all previous seasons of MAFS UK have been removed from its streaming and linear services.
