MAFS UK star Luke reignites feud with co-stars as he brands them ‘c****’ and ‘actors’
HE was hardly Mr Popular before the TV BAFTAS, but Married at First Sights Luke Worley will not be in anyone’s good books now.
The controversial reality star was forced to make an early exit from the show, after a bust up with his co-star, Jordan Gayle.
But after MAFS was nominated for a TV BAFTA last night for best factual entertainment, Luke has reignited the feud with his co-stars by branding them all, C****.
Writing on his social media reel, he said: “ MAFS is up for a BAFTA today, but lets me real, half the C**** were acting.”
The 31-year-old married Lancashire native, Jay Howard on the show and the couple were forced to leave early following Luke’ altercation.
But unsurprisingly their romance failed to stand the test of time and Jay attended the show’s reunion on her own after Luke was banned.
There she confirmed that they had indeed gone their separate ways, confessing to her co-stars: “He literally basically just said, like, we are better off just being friends.
“I asked him what he wanted, but he couldn’t answer the question.”
Then after the reunion episode had aired, Luke announced his depression on social media, admitting that he’d been at “one of the lowest points” since leaving the show.
He said: “After this reunion I cut myself off as I was ta one of the lowest points in my life
“I had to go to counselling for weeks to recover from MAFS as I lost myself and I didn’t know who I was anymore.
“Since MAFS started airing I have had hate including death threats and it’s not acceptable.”
Luke who quit his job to be on the programme said the shows editing cast him in a bad light. He said:
“It is not what people say [which hurts], it is when people don’t understand me, they’ve got me wrong,” Mr Worley said.
“No one should have to say ‘I’m a nice guy, I’m caring’.
“I shouldn’t have to say that, people should just be able to see it and when people can’t see that side to you it is upsetting.”I understand why people were giving me hate online.”
A spokes person from Channel 4 said they were doing their best to offer Luke the necessary support.
“We are in regular contact with Luke and continue to offer him tailored support including access to an independent psych team,” she said.
The spokeswoman said “robust” contributor care protocols were in place and support was available to participants before, during and after broadcast.
“The wellbeing of cast and crew on Married at First Sight UK is our utmost priority at all times, throughout production and beyond,” she added.
“Cast are thoroughly prepped for the experience of being on Married at First Sight UK, including the prospect of social media abuse and trolling and are supported on an ongoing basis in how to manage this.”
