Luke has been AXED from Married at First Sight UK following physical fight with Jordan

Married at First Sight groom Luke Worley has been axed from the show following a physical fight with fellow groom Jordan Gayle, the Mail Online is reporting.

Channel 4 bosses are said to have removed Luke from the show with immediate effect following the incident, in which he “shocked both cast and crew with his aggressive behaviour”. This means Jay, who he married on the show, has also had to cut short her time in the experiment.

It’s been reported tensions begin to rise between Luke and Jordan, who married Erica as two late arrivals on the show this year, and a physical fight broke out, which has been caught on camera. Jordan has reportedly been allowed to stay on the show, as it was Luke who is said to have instigated the incident.

A show insider told MailOnline: “Luke and Jordan struggled to get along from the moment they met, but no one was expecting them to clash like they eventually did. The cast attend a couples’ retreat and during dinner things got particularly heated between them and later they come to blows inside Jordan’s apartment.

“Channel 4 bosses had no choice but eject Luke from the programme, which consequently ended his wife Jay’s time in the process… as per the show’s rules you enter as a couple and leave as a couple. The fight was caught on camera, meaning there’s every chance it could be shown in the most explosive scenes ever to be aired on Married at First Sight UK.”

A Channel 4 spokesperson added: ‘The wellbeing of cast and crew is our utmost priority at all times throughout production and beyond. During filming, an altercation occurred between two cast members which was defused immediately by the crew. All contributors involved were offered appropriate support.”

Luke is now the second person to be booted from the show this year, after Brad was sent home following his controlling behaviour towards new wife, Shona.
