Married at First Sight UK has been canceled following serious allegations of rape and sexual misconduct made by former participants on BBC's Panorama program. The reality TV show, which had been running for 10 seasons, will not return to screens after an external review conducted in April found significant concerns regarding contributor welfare. Channel 4 chief executive Priya Dogra announced the cancellation, stating that the network would reinvest the show's budget into new programming projects. The allegations include claims by two women who said they were raped during production of the series, one alleging non-consensual intercourse and another experiencing violent sex despite expressing discomfort to her partner. Additionally, a third participant accused her on-screen husband of sexual misconduct. Although the review found that Channel 4 did not breach Ofcom's code or that the format itself was unsafe, Dogra decided against continuing with the show in light of these serious allegations.
