- BBC Panorama reported that two former contestants say they were raped by their on-screen husbands and a third alleges a non-consensual sexual act during filming.
- Shona Manderson, a 2023 cast member, agreed to be identified, while another woman says she reported a rape before broadcast but her scenes still aired.
- One complainant says her TV husband threatened to have acid thrown in her face if she spoke, an allegation his lawyers deny.
- Channel 4 and producer CPL dispute the claims and defend their welfare systems, and an outside law firm with a media industry figure will lead the probe.
