MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT FORCED TO REMOVE PARTICIPANT FOLLOWING UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR

Married At First Sight participant Nikita Jasmine was forced to withdraw from the E4 reality show following an off-camera incident. As a result, her match Ant Poole has also withdrawn.

A Married At First Sight spokesperson confirmed: "The wellbeing of cast and crew is our utmost priority at all times throughout production and beyond. During filming, a situation escalated off camera and Nikita displayed a level of aggression that was unacceptable and breached our agreed code of conduct on behaviour...

"As a result, she was asked to leave the experiment. All involved have been offered support and Nikita has since apologised and resolved the situation with those involved."

A source explained to The Sun: "Nikita just lost it and screamed at everyone around the table. It was over an argument she started, ranting her co-stars were only doing the show for fame – when most of them felt that's exactly why she had signed up. The situation turned really ugly, which was why security had to get involved."

Married At First Sight continues Monday-Thursday at 9pm on E4.
