Yet another Married At First Sight UK star has been booted off the reality dating show.
Essex salesman Luke Worley, 30, has been reportedly kicked off the show after a physical altercation with his co-star, Jordan Gayle.
Channel 4 axed Luke from MAFS, which has subsequently also marked the end of his on-screen marriage with 31-year-old sales team leader, Jay Howard, on the E4 series.

Luke and Jordan, a 26-year-old personal trainer, 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' of despite it being a 'controversial' move.
Tensions rise this week between Luke and Jordan, who married Erica Roberts, with the pair eventually coming to blows over their differences in shocking scenes that were caught on camera.
Jordan was allowed to stay on the show because Luke instigated the ruckus.
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."
A Channel 4 spokesperson 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.
