A Married At First Sight star claims to have been sexually assaulted by their new partner during filming
The 'non-recent' claim was reported on June 14 but we are not revealing the names of those involved, or the police force, for legal reasons.
Scenes surrounding the alleged victim have already been aired.
It is the latest scandal to hit the Channel 4 show — now in its ninth season — which sees 'relationship experts' match up singletons.
The couple first meet at the altar before the honeymoon, after which they live together in a complex in the UK before deciding whether to split up.
They are also filmed at dinner parties and a commitment ceremony.
Channel 4, which advertises the show as a 'bold, social experiment', initially denied a complaint had been made before coming clean.
A source said: 'It's a nightmare scenario for them.
'The show's been criticised for throwing strangers together and sending them on honeymoon for viewers' entertainment.
"Now it's alleged someone was assaulted after tying the knot.
"It is a disastrous look for bosses.'

'Support would be offered to anyone who wished to report a matter.'

It insisted a criminal record check on Alexander Henry 'returned clear'.

Prince Harry will 'never be forgiven' by two major royals despite reconciliation hope
As rumours of peace talks between Harry and King Charles continue to swirl, a royal expert has claimed that there are two senior royals who will find it difficult to forgive Prince Harry's disloyalty A royal author has claimed that two senior royals will find it difficult to forgive Prince Harry as rumours of peace talks between the Sussex camp and the royal family continue to swirl. Speculation of a royal reconciliation between Prince Harry and King Charles first emerged when senior aides for both parties were spotted having a meeting in London. While it is not known who initiated the talks, many believe the Duke of Sussex has reached out to his father to mend their rift ahead of Prince Harry's trip to the UK in September. Many royal commentators are hoping that the relationship between the father and son can be patched up, however, others are not convinced that the royal family at large will be so quick to forgive. An one has claimed that two senior royals will 'never forgive' Prince Harry after his years of damning exposés against the Firm, including his tell-all interview with Oprah alongside Meghan Markle, and his explosive autobiography Spare. Royal author Robert Jobson believes that both Prince William and Queen Camilla will have a hard time letting go of the accusations made against them in Harry's 2023 memoir. Jobson told The Sun: "He's asking for forgiveness. Well, you know, I think that his father probably will in the long term. I think he probably will. I just don't see William and Camilla doing it." Jobson added that while Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana, also authorised a tell-all autobiography about her time in the royal family, she did not make any profit from the memoir. He said: "She didn't monetise it for herself. He made a fortune out of it." In Spare, Harry mentioned Queen Camilla on more than 60 occasions, often branding her as "the Other Woman". He also accused the Queen of being "dangerous" and leaking negative stories to the press, allegedly "sacrificing him on her personal PR altar". He also pondered whether she would become his and William's "wicked stepmother" before her marriage to Charles, as they continued to grieve the loss of their mother. Prince Harry also referenced his brother Prince William on several occasions, detailing instances throughout their childhood and their ongoing rift. He even made claims that the brothers had a physical altercation. In his bombshell interview with the BBC back in May, Harry said that "some members of my family will never forgive me" for writing his memoir. But he added: "It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them." Royal expert Jennie Bond also believes that it will be difficult for Princess Anne to forgive Prince Harry if the peace talks come to fruition, given his 'extreme disloyalty' to the Firm since he quit royal life and relocated to California. Bond told the Mirror: 'To Anne, loyalty is paramount, and I suspect she feels that Harry has been extremely disloyal to his father, his brother and the monarchy. She might well find that hard to forgive.'

Vogue Williams claims Spencer Matthews was 'not happy' after insulting comment
Model and podcaster Vogue Williams has opened up about her marriage to former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, and how he was left seething after she made a dig about his artwork Podcaster Vogue Williams has revealed how her other half, Spencer Matthews, was left rather miffed when she publicly dissed one of his treasured artworks. Since launching their 'Spencer and Vogue' podcast, the married couple have been dishing out episodes weekly, giving fans a peek into their hectic family life and fielding queries from their audience. But earlier this year, Spencer surprised listeners by announcing his departure from the show to chase new ventures. It was later disclosed that the podcast would carry on with Vogue's elder sister Amber stepping in to fill Spencer's shoes. In her freshly published memoir 'Big Mouth', Vogue reminisces about her podcasting days with the ex-'Made in Chelsea' heartthrob and shared why he was "not happy" following a particular remark she made on air. Revealing the cause of the upset, she wrote: "He was especially not happy when I slagged the onion painting he did when he was sixteen years old," reports the Irish Mirror. Despite confessing that Spencer had his fair share of "thrown a few epic wobblers", she insists their spats are just like those of any other married couple: "Every so often he would threaten to quit, but these are the usual conflicts and dramas of a married couple." Not long after bowing out from their shared podcast, Spencer was back behind the microphone with his fresh solo venture, 'Untapped'. Launched earlier this year, the podcast features the former reality TV star engaging in conversations with sporting icons such as Mo Farah, Ulrika Jonsson and Ben Stokes, delving into the secrets behind their remarkable successes. Reflecting on the couple's early days, it was eight years ago when they first met while participating in the Channel 4 programme The Jump in 2017. Just a few months later, they said their "I dos", in the company of celebrity guests including Jamie Laing. The duo pledged their love for each other against the breathtaking backdrop of Spencer's parents' exquisite Glen Affric Estate in the Scottish Highlands. Since then, the couple have embarked on their journey as parents, welcoming their first child, Theodore, followed by daughter Gigi and youngest son Otto.

Victoria and David Beckham narrowly avoid awkward run-in with Brooklyn in St Tropez
The feud surrounding David and Victoria Beckham and their son, Brooklyn, is still rumbling on - despite Sir Elton John's best efforts at playing peacekeeper Victoria and David Beckham narrowly avoided a red-faced run-in with their firstborn, Brooklyn, and his wife in St Tropez last week. The Beckhams were in the south of France for their annual jaunt onboard a luxury £16 million yacht with their kids Romeo and Harper after Brooklyn and Nicola were seen larking about on the heiress' father's boat nearby. Brooklyn and Nicola were spotted just 48 hours before the Beckhams arrived in St Tropez having a slap-up lunch with the wannabe chef's godfather, Sir Elton John, who reportedly tried to play peacekeeper between Brooklyn and his parents. However, despite the Sorry star's best efforts, the feud appears to be rumbling on after Brooklyn and Nicola swerved David's 50th birthday celebrations in May amid reports the 26-year-old was angry with his family for the way they had allegedly treated Nicola. Brooklyn's siblings Harper and Romeo were the first to be spotted in St Tropez, with smiles a mile wide onboard a speedboat. It comes after the former photographer unfollowed both Romeo and younger brother Cruz on Instagram, with one source claiming there was "no way back" for the famous family. Also seen lapping up the luxury at sea were Victoria and David as they treated Harper and Romeo to dinner onboard the family's yacht while Cruz and girlfriend Jackie Apostle reportedly soaked up the sun elsewhere in the star-studded town. It comes as Brooklyn and Nicola shared snaps of themselves, appearing to be in the UK, while the Beckhams were in France. The husband and wife are said to have jetted into Blighty for the weekend and seemed to be enjoying downtime in the English countryside. It comes after Victoria and David's close friend, Elton, reportedly tried his best to oil the wheels of peace between the Beckhams as Brooklyn's concerned godfather. The music legend recently hosted the self-confessed 'nutter in the kitchen' and his wife for lunch in Cannes alongside his husband, David Furnish. The gathering took place at the upscale La Guerite beach club, where the group reportedly addressed the strained family dynamics. 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,' a source told The Sun in relation to the star's peace-keeping attempts, adding: 'He's utterly neutral in this row.' And while the Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) star may have previously leaned into celebrity rivalries, such as his past feud with Madonna, those close to him say he's now more interested in maintaining peace. The source continued: 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn, but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy."
