‘Married at First Sight UK’ canceled after 2 women were allegedly raped by their husbands during production

Channel 4 has cancelled *Married at First Sight UK* after 10 seasons, following allegations from three women who appeared on the programme. Two said they were raped by their husbands during production, while a third alleged sexual misconduct; one woman also said her husband threatened her with acid.

Channel 4 chief executive Priya Dogra apologised for the distress the women experienced and said an external review examined the programme’s safeguards, but did not determine whether the allegations were true. The review found no evidence that the format was inherently unsafe, while Dogra said the series had run its course. The men accused deny the allegations; one was arrested in June on suspicion of rape.
