It comes after April last year revealed she’s been left needing therapy after appearing on Married At First Sight.
The former Miss Great Britain said the ‘traumas’ she is now experiencing are ‘ruining her life’ and claims the show needs to do more background checks on those taking part.
Her on-screen husband George Roberts was arrested on suspicion of controlling and coercive behaviour, the couple are no longer in a relationship.
His appearance on the E4 show came despite three women who had previous relationships with Mr Roberts reportedly raising concerns about him. Others are reported to have now come forward.
April told The Sun in October: ‘The traumas I have from being on Married At First Sight are ruining my life.
‘I was given six therapy sessions and basically told to try and move on. People say Love Island is brutal but MAFS is 100 per cent worse.
‘No one should apply to take part until they put in place more stringent background checks.’
‘I’m just trying to get through each day. If I slip down that dark hole I don’t think I’ll ever get out.’

A Channel 4 spokesperson said at the time: ‘It’s categorically untrue to suggest that April was asked to take a position against her wishes, nor would we seek to silence her.

‘This support is proactively offered at every stage and, where requested, ongoing. April has been offered and continues to access such support.
