Channel 4’s chief executive has given a statement after Panorama revealed allegations that two women were raped, and a third was the victim of a non-consensual sex act, during the filming of Married at First Sight (MAFS) UK.
Priya Dogra expressed “huge sympathy” for the women, but said she could not comment on the specific allegations, which she noted that the men deny.
She said she believes Channel 4 has not failed in its duty of care to some of its contributors, and “based on what we knew at the time, we acted appropriately, quickly and with sensitivity”.
Asked if she would like to apologise to the women involved, Dogra said, “I’ve said everything I can in the statement,” and walked away from the interview.
