MAFS star Jordan Gayle breaks his silence after rival groom Luke Worley is kicked off show for ‘punching him’
JORDAN Gayle has broken his silence after his rival Luke Worley was kicked off Married at First Sight for ‘punching him’.
The E4 groom took to social media this evening after it emerged Luke and him were caught up in a fiery exchange.
It ultimately resulted in salesman Luke being axed from MAFS, which also meant his wife Jay Howard‘s time came to an abrupt end too.
Jordan, who joined the series as a late entrant – better known as an ‘intruder’ groom – has addressed the incident.
He said: “What’s up guys, this is my response to what’s been leaked today about me clashing with Luke.
“Now, there’s a lot to say, there’s a lot that goes down but you’re going to see all the drama unfold in front of your eyes over the next couple of weeks on your TV screens.
“The time is not right to talk now, I don’t know who is leaking it to the press and I don’t know why they’re doing it, it’s got nothing to do with them.
“So I do agree with Luke on that, even though we don’t agree on many things.
“Whoever is doing it, just stop. Now, when the time is right I’ll be able to tell you everything that happened and why it happened – and what really went down.
“Stay tuned, because there’s a lot to find out.”
Speaking about the dramatic scenes, 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.
“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.”
Luke has since broken his silence on his axing and went on a an expletive-ridden rant on Instagram.
He said: “I’m f***ing fuming by the way.
“First of all I want to apologise to the whole audience who watches Married At First Sight because we have obviously got a snake in the cast. Or snakes.”
He continued: “I’m actually p***ed off for one. Not just for me but for you guys at home who actually tune in and it’s been ruined for you guys. Everything has been ruined for you guys.”
Luke went on to claim that details of how he had been kicked off the show were “exaggerated” but did not deny that he had been removed or had a fight with Jordan.
He promised to set the record straight once the series has finished airing in the coming weeks.
When contacted by The Sun, a Channel 4 Spokesperson said: “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 crew. All contributors involved were offered appropriate support.”
