MAFS UK’s Luke claims producers told him to initiate on-screen bust-up with Jordan that got him axed
MARRIED At First Sight star Luke Worley has claimed producers told him to initiate the on-screen bust-up.
He was kicked off from the E4 social experiment after a fight with his arch-nemesis Jordan.
After trading blows for weeks and even scrapping at a star-studded event, the pair came face to face again on social media.
Ahead of their highly-anticipated boxing fight at the O2 in February 2024, the pair exchanged verbal blows on an Instagram live.
Luke, 31, slammed his show rival Jordan, 26, saying that he does not take any "accountability."
But interestingly, he also admitted that the fight between the pair could have been somewhat set up by Married At First Sight producers.

The sales executive revealed that he was asked by the crew to go to the house of the personal trainer, and Jordan was fully expecting the confrontation.
Luke admitted: "I think the problem with Jordan, this issue we've got with each other, is he doesn't take accountability.
"And for example, with the reason I went [to hid door], for one, I was asked to go to his door anyway, Jordan knows this. I told him this.
"I was asked to go, I was told by a producer to go to his door, [I was] told that he knew I was going to his door by the way.

"Anyway, that cuts that bit off. But the reason that they wanted me to go to the store is because Arthur and George come to me the next day after the issue at the dinner party and apologised and told me what happened.
"When I went to Jordan's door, that was three days after the incident, and he still hasn't come to say to Jay, 'I'm so sorry if I upset you'."
"Wherever he feels he upset her or not, he knew that she would be upset."
He also admitted that his intention was never to get physical with his co-star, although he knew they would have traded intense verbal blows.
"My intentions wouldn't go down there weren't to have a scrap, I'd literally gone down there to have a f****** row with him. I knew I was going to have a row," Worley admitted.
"Obviously, I'd stepped on his doorfront, and then if you watch the footage back, he was the first person to put his hands on me.
"That's when it went over the [edge] obviously then we both went into fight or flight mode."
He added: "I understand why he acted the way he acted. I understand why I acted the way I acted.
"When there's two men, getting in each other's face, it's obviously, it's gonna blow up. And that's ultimately what happened about situation."
When approached for comment, a Channel 4 spokesperson said: “The wellbeing of cast and crew is our utmost priority at all times throughout production and beyond.
"We have a zero tolerance policy towards violence and we take any behaviour of this nature very seriously.
