Channel 4 has accused the press of ‘regurgitating’ news that a Married at First Sight UK groom was allowed to appear on television despite having been arrested on suspicion of battering his ex-girlfriend.
The broadcaster was warned that a contestant was on bail after being accused of leaving the woman with black eyes and broken ribs, but decided to air the episode anyway.
When the Daily Mail approached the channel – already under the cosh amid allegations of rape by other MAFS UK grooms – for a response to newspaper reports last night, we were accused of ‘regurgitating’ news.
