British broadcaster Channel 4 has removed all previous seasons of Married At First Sight UK - one of its flagship reality shows - after a BBC report detailing allegations of rape during the filming of the series.

The women, who have not been named, have raised serious concerns about the welfare and safety of female participants on the programme, which is also a hit in the US and Australia.
