A third contestant, Shona Manderson, who has waived her anonymity, alleged that Bradley Skelly, her on-screen husband, engaged in a non-consensual sex act by ejaculating inside her without permission. She later found out she was pregnant, and had an abortion. She said she did not know if the pregnancy resulted from the alleged incident. A few days after the alleged incident, she reportedly informed CPL about it. CPL and Channel 4 decided to remove the couple from the show shortly after. Skelly said he understood
Manderson had consented to him ejaculating inside her that night, according to the BBC. He said in a statement he categorically denied “any allegations of sexual misconduct” or that he was “controlling”. In a statement on Monday, Channel 4 said it had been presented in April “with serious allegations of wrongdoing against a small number of past contributors, allegations that we understand those contributors have denied”.
