MAFS’ George Roberts set to ‘speak his truth’ after harassment claims in new TV documentary
MARRIED At First Sight star George Roberts insists he will “speak my truth” in a spin-off documentary to the E4 series.
The dad of four – who was paired with wedding dress designer April Banbury, 32, in the matchmaking experiment – was arrested in October.
Police were investigating the 40-year-old over allegations of harassment and coercive control, the Met said at the time.
It came after The Sun told how three of his ex-girlfriends had raised concerns after spotting him on a trailer for the series.
Financial adviser George denied any wrongdoing – yet his relationship with April has now ended, with the star claiming she needed “therapy” in the aftermath.
He broke his silence following the arrest to thank his fans for their support.

Now George has taken to his Instagram to reveal his next steps – these being a TV show to clear his name.
He uploaded a series of backstage filming shots showing him speaking direct to a camera.
There was a stool perched against a white backdrop but nothing more in terms of staging, as George looks set to let his words make a big impact.
In his caption George – who viewers witnessed having trust issues on the series – wrote: “Felt good to start speaking my truth back in front of the camera today.”
