Sirin Kale on the BBC Panorama investigation into Married at First Sight UK

Is it possible to make dating reality TV shows safe for their participants?

A BBC panorama investigation recently reported that two women alleged they were raped by their on-screen “husbands” during the filming of Married at First Sight UK. They have not been named. A third woman, who agreed to be identified, Shona Manderson, accused her on-screen husband of subjecting her to a non-consensual sex act. All the men deny the allegations.
