Sexual Violence In Reality TV

Married At First Sight on Channel 4 has been pulled from streaming after allegations of rape and non-consensual sexual activity during filming.  Police are now urging anyone who may have been affected to come forward, as investigations continue.  Some of the claims are understood to have been raised while filming was ongoing and yet the programme still aired.  So, at this stage, in the twenty-first century – why does reality TV still have so many skeletons in the closet?Ciara is joined by TV Critic and Broadcaster Scott Bryan and Professor of Film and Feminist Media Studies and Research Lead/Director for the Cambridge School of Creative Industries, Tanya Horeck
