Thousands of fans of the Channel 4 show will be left disappointed and possibly disturbed by the sudden cancellation. The show's format, which paired strangers in marriage, is being questioned by critics who say it put contestants in a vulnerable position.

Coverage from the Mirror and Daily Star confirms the cancellation, with the Mirror's review citing the show's format as the reason it could not continue. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline also report on the cancellation, with the latter stating it is effective immediately.
