As I delve into this heart-wrenching tale, it is impossible not to be moved by April’s harrowing experiences. Her journey through “Married At First Sight” has left deep scars that continue to haunt her life. The show, which promises love and happiness, seems to have delivered nothing but pain and trauma in her case.


Friends Whitney Hughes and April Banbury from the British version of “Married At First Sight” are not communicating with each other anymore, as we’ve learned, due to a heated argument that turned physical.

Back in 2022, these two formed a close bond during their time on the E4 show, and ever since then, they’ve been as close as sisters, sharing vacations and attending various functions together.

However, it’s been disclosed that Whitney and their friend have ended their relationship. This allegedly occurred following an incident where April is said to have instigated a disagreement with Whitney during a lively content creation session at her home.

In the end, their friends intervened and separated them, while Whitney ended up seeking medical attention at the emergency room after the altercation.

According to the source, ‘The girls were spending time at April’s place, enjoying themselves by making TikTok videos. Everything seemed fine among them. However, after April hugged Whitney, she was overheard calling Whitney a derogatory term, which sounded like “a f***ing b***h”, as she walked away.’

In my account, I found myself puzzled by a certain remark and inquired as to its origin from April, who responded with an outburst of anger, shouting something along the lines of, “I utterly despise you!” Before I could react, she surged towards me, seizing my throat.

‘She was full of rage out of nowhere. Thankfully two friends who were at the party stopped it. 

Whitney was incredibly upset and taken aback, as the next day found her needing to go to the emergency room because of a painful neck and bruises.

After the incident occurred, they both stopped following each other on Instagram and deleted most of the photos they had taken together.

Apart from social media, Whitney temporarily stepped away. Without explicitly mentioning it, she shared with her audience: “Experiencing an assault by someone I held dear was an enormous surprise, and a situation I needed time to comprehend.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my puzzlement regarding April’s actions. Ever since our chance encounter on MAFS, we’ve shared an incredibly tight bond, often likening ourselves to sisters. It’s utterly astonishing to me how, without any prior indication, April suddenly erupted in such a way.

TopMob has contacted April and Whitney for comment.  

On the show, Whitney tied the knot with her husband, Duka Cavolli; however, post-series, she became involved with Matt Murray, a relationship that ended just weeks following the finale.

April, once Miss Great Britain, tied the knot with George Roberts in an unofficial wedding, following their first encounter at the altar on the popular E4 series.

In September of that very year, he was apprehended under suspicion of abusive control and manipulation, however, no additional legal proceedings against him are planned.

Previously, April (who is now separated from George) had mentioned that she required therapy following her experience on the program.

The designer expressed that the ‘hardships’ she is currently facing are severely impacting her life, and insists that the program should conduct more thorough background investigations on its participants.

Despite reports of three women with past relationships with Mr. Roberts expressing concerns, he still made an appearance on the E4 show. More individuals claiming to have interactions with him in the past seem to be surfacing now.

In October, April confided in The Sun that the emotional turmoil she experienced on Married at First Sight is negatively impacting her life.

‘I was given six therapy sessions and basically told to try and move on. People say Love Island is brutal but MAFS is 100 per cent worse.

‘No one should apply to take part until they put in place more stringent background checks.’

I’m simply struggling to make it through each day. If I were to fall into a deep, seemingly bottomless pit, I fear I might not be able to find my way back up.

As a die-hard fan, let me set the record straight: It’s absolutely false to insinuate that April was coerced into taking a role against her will by Channel 4. I assure you, we wouldn’t dream of stifling her voice!

All actors are provided with necessary assistance prior to, during, and post-filming and broadcast. This includes the availability of an independent psychologist for their use.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but shout out that this assistance is consistently extended at every step of the game, and when asked for, it remains available on-call. Just like me who keeps coming back for more, April has seized this opportunity and continues to tap into this ongoing support.

All participants undergo comprehensive background and mental health screenings, which involve the strictest police investigations possible within a production setting.

After the performance, April was diagnosed with a terminal spinal disorder following her hospitalization due to persistent pain.

April shared on Instagram that she’s recently been diagnosed with a condition called spinal stenosis, which unfortunately, is not curable.

As a devoted follower of health guidelines, I’ve come to understand that ‘spinal stenosis’ is a condition where the spinal canal becomes constricted. This constriction might worsen over time, leading to the compression of spinal nerves. This nerve compression can result in discomfort felt not only in the back but also in the legs, manifesting as pain.

In conversation about her health issue, the celebrity shared that she is currently prescribed opioids and might receive a nerve root injection in the future. Long-term use of opioids is not an ideal approach for her.
