Married at First Sight UK cancelled after BBC revealed rape allegations

Channel 4 has axed Married at First Sight UK following reviews into allegations of rape and sexual misconduct involving female participants during production. The broadcaster apologised to the women affected and confirmed that the show's budget will be reinvested into distinctive new programming. The decision follows reports of two alleged rapes and one instance of a non-consensual sex act during the filming of the reality series, leading to the immediate cancellation of the money-spinning programme.
