Channel 4 Opens External Review Into MAFS UK Rape Claims

Channel 4 has launched an external review into rape allegations involving partners from Married at First Sight UK, with three women accusing on‑screen husbands of rape or non‑consensual sex; the men deny the claims. In response, Channel 4 has removed all MAFS UK episodes from its streaming service. The review has two strands—Clyde & Co examining welfare protocols and handling of the claims, and Lorraine Heggessey assessing whether welfare procedures should be strengthened. CPL Productions disputed elements of the claims, and a Panorama special is expected to air; Channel 4 says it acted quickly to prioritise contributor welfare.

Prue Leith Bids Farewell to The Great British Bake Off

Prue Leith announced on Instagram that she is stepping down from Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off after nine years, saying it feels like the right time and pointing to her age (86). She has judged more than 400 challenges since joining when Bake Off moved from the BBC to Channel 4, replacing Mary Berry, and has been a familiar presence alongside Paul Hollywood with hosts Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond. The show will continue with Hollywood as a sole judge and will need a new co-judge, as Bake Off remains Channel 4's most-watched program.
