Married at First Sight UK bosses have denied claims they knew about George Roberts’ "abusive behaviour" allegations. The allegations reportedly came to light after filming finished.
The 40 year old has come under fire recently from his ex-partners. Speaking to The Sun, George’s exes claimed that their warnings were ignored by show makers.
MAFS experts paired the 40-year-old reality TV star up with former Ms Great Britain April Banbury, and the pair immediately hit it off when they met for the first time at the altar.

Despite being popular among MAFS UK fans, George has allegedly now been accused of 'emotional abuse' from three of his ex-girlfriends who have claimed that they made police complaints about him after learning George was set to appear on the show.
“I’m so shocked to see he has been given a platform on a TV show. I messaged Married at First Sight. I said I reported him to the police,” one said. “They asked for additional information which I gave and I never heard anything further.”
Another alleged: “I contacted Married at First Sight, E4 and All4 and the producers to tell them he was a known emotional and mental abuser of women.” A rep for George says he is contesting the allegations.
And E4 said: “We work incredibly closely with our production partners to ensure all Married at First Sight UK contributors are subject to rigorous background and psychological checks, including the most detailed police checks a production is able to undertake. Any allegations of this nature are taken extremely seriously by Channel 4.”
