Married At First Sight UK star Jordan Gayle breaks silence after fight with axed contestant Luke Worley
The Married At First Sight UK drama has been dominating our screens for the past few weeks and things, believe it or not, are about to get even wilder.
Yet another MAFS contestant has been booted off the reality dating show, with Essex salesman Luke Worley, 30, being axed from the programme after a physical altercation with his co-star, Jordan Gayle, a 26-year-old personal trainer.
Since Luke's departure yesterday (16 October), Jordan has finally broken his silence on the matter and took to TikTok the same day to address the situation further. Have a look:

Luke and Jordan reportedly came to blows this week - with the latter being allowed to stay on the show as it was Luke who allegedly instigated the fight - who later said he was 'proud', despite it being a 'controversial' move.
Channel 4 bosses are now said to have removed Luke from the show with immediate effect following the incident, where he 'shocked both cast and crew with his aggressive behaviour'.

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.
"Channel 4 bosses had no choice but eject Luke from the programme, which consequently ended his wife Jay's time in the process... as per the show's rules you enter as a couple and leave as a couple.
"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."
Speaking to this followers, Jordan recently explained on TikTok: "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."
The MAFS star added: "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," Jordan concluded, "because there's a lot to find out."
I'm sure there is.
A Channel 4 spokesperson previously told Tyla: "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."
Luke is now the second person to be booted from the show this year, after 27-year-old model Brad Skelly was axed after concerns over his 'unhealthy' behaviour towards Shona Manderson, 31, following an array of heated arguments between the pair.
Married At First Sight UK airs Monday to Thursday on E4 at 9pm.
Tyla has reached out to Channel 4 for further comment.
