YouTube / Channel 4 Entertainment Two women who filmed for Married at First Sight UK are making extremely serious claims. The former participants came forward in a new BBC Panorama documentary called The Dark Side of Married at First Sight , and alleged that they were raped by their on-screen husbands while filming the Channel 4 show, with a third woman claiming she experienced a non-consensual sexual act. The show did not do enough to protect them, they reportedly all told the BBC . Channel 4 has pulled all previous seasons of MAFS UK from streaming and linear services, alongside Channel 4’s MAFS UK social channels, according to the network. The removal came just before the premiere of the documentary airing Monday evening (May 18), examining the claims made by women who appeared on the show.
