A participant from Married at First Sight UK has been arrested on suspicion of rape following a BBC Panorama investigation that raised concerns about the show's welfare procedures. Both the individual and the alleged victim remain unnamed, in accordance with legal protections for victims of sexual assault.

Channel 4 has initiated a review of contributor welfare on the show, which has faced scrutiny since the Panorama episode aired. The Metropolitan Police are encouraging anyone who may have experienced sexual assault while participating in the show to come forward, as the investigation continues.
