Police give update on MAFS star George Roberts’ arrest over a year after he was accused of coercive behaviour by 3 women
MARRIED At First Sight star George Roberts will face no further action after he was arrested on suspicion of coercive behaviour.
The financial adviser was held in September last year after finding love on the E4 show with April Banbury.
Roberts, 40, denied controlling and coercive behaviour after three of his ex-girlfriends came forward.
The Met Police today confirmed they will be taking no further action against the reality star.
A statement said: “A 40-year-old man was arrested by Met officers in Worcestershire on Thursday, 29 September 2022 on suspicion of controlling and coercive behaviour.
“He was taken to a Worcestershire police station and was initially bailed to return pending further enquiries before been released under investigation.
“All enquiries have now been completed and no further action will be taken. All parties have been informed of this outcome.
“The investigation followed an allegation of controlling and coercive behaviour and harassment reported to the Met on Monday, 26 September 2022.”
Roberts wed former Miss Great Britain April on Married At First Sight last year but she revealed she was single shortly after his arrest.
She later told fans the show had “ruined her life”, adding: “The traumas that have been brought on from this show have made me re-evaluate things.
“I really have and I’m not ashamed to admit, I have been seeing a therapist ever since.”
It came after Roberts shared a post on his Instagram thanking fans for their “messages of support”.
He said at the time: “Justice and judgement lie often a world apart.”
