The Metropolitan Police has urged any women with allegations of rape or sexual assault linked with the TV show Married at First Sight to get in contact with them.
Two former participants of the show claimed they had been raped by their on-screen husbands, and a third woman claimed she had been the victim of sexual misconduct. Channel 4 bosses have axed the new series of the show in light of the allegations, and all ten series of Married at First Sight UK, known as MAFS UK, were removed from the channel's streaming service.
Security Minister Dan Jarvis has said he is 'extremely concerned' and warned the series could even face a police probe. A second woman, referred to by the pseudonym Lizzie, told Panorama her on-screen husband raped her and subjected her to violent sex that often left her with bruises. She added that she was too scared to tell anyone about what was happening as her partner threatened to throw acid over her.
