Channel 4 contacted by police after Married at First Sight UK rape claims
Following a BBC Panorama investigation detailing allegations that three women were victims of sexual assault during filming of Channel 4's Married at First Sight UK, the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has deemed the claims serious and emphasized that consequences must follow any criminality or wrongdoing. Channel 4 has removed all episodes from its platforms and commissioned an external review of participant welfare, regulator Ofcom has reminded broadcasters of their duty of care, and sponsor Tui has paused its sponsorship of the programme.
