Channel 4 Faces Backlash for Keeping Alleged Abuser on 'Married at First Sight'

Alexander Henry, jailed for abandoning his RAF post to film the show, remains on the cast despite domestic abuse allegations.

Channel 4 has decided not to remove Alexander Henry from 'Married at First Sight' despite domestic abuse allegations from a former partner.
Henry, a personal trainer from Birmingham, was sentenced to 34 days in military prison for going AWOL to participate in the show.
The network stated that all participants undergo rigorous background checks and psychological evaluations before being cast.
Women's Aid has expressed disappointment over the decision, citing concerns about giving a platform to alleged abusers.
The ninth season of 'Married at First Sight UK' will premiere tonight, featuring Henry in pre-recorded episodes.
