## Summary

Channel 4 has cancelled Married at First Sight UK after rape allegations by two female cast members and a separate allegation of a non-consensual sexual act. Several former participants welcomed the decision, saying it brought relief and showed their concerns had been heard, while also calling for accountability and answers about how the alleged harm was allowed to happen.

The allegations were revealed by a BBC Panorama investigation in May; the men involved have denied them. Some cast members said the show should have ended sooner, while others described positive experiences and sadness at its loss. The cancellation also means this year’s filmed series will not be broadcast, prompting concern for its cast, crew and fans.
