Married at First Sight contestants urged to contact police over rape allegations

Metropolitan police says it is yet to receive criminal reports following claims made in BBC programme

Police have urged potential victims of sexual assault who appeared on Married at First Sight (MAFS) UK to contact them, after female participants made allegations of rape and sexual misconduct.

A BBC Panorama episode that aired on Monday evening documented accusations from contestants about their time on the reality TV show. Two women, who are not named, alleged they were raped by their on-screen husbands, while a third woman who agreed to be identified, Shona Manderson, accused her on-screen husband of taking things too far during sex. All the men deny the claims.
