This season's Married At First Sight UK has been proving hugely popular, but it turns out that some of the cast members almost got fired before the show even began. According to the Mail Online, Channel 4 bosses had to get lawyers involved after a night of 'wild partying' shortly after the show began filming.
The cast had just married their new partners and were hoping to let off some steam at Box Park Wembley. However, it seems the night took an unexpected turn and three cast members were reprimanded the next day. As a result, the network issued new contracts banning the cast from entering Central London and instead staying in Wembley for the duration of the show.
The decision to punish the entire group of cast members didn't go down too well, as apparently those who weren't involved felt it was unfair. The source went on to say they felt they were being treated like naughty children by bosses.
Channel 4 has since issued a statement regarding the incident, stressing the importance of their cast members' welfare. A spokesperson advised that each individual agrees to a standard of behaviour before commencing filming and that the network takes appropriate action on a case-by-case basis if contributors fall below that standard.
Married At First Sight UK continues at 9pm Wednesday on Channel 4. For those wanting to keep up with the cast, you can follow them on Instagram.
