MAFS star Mark Kiley victim of brutal attack
Reality TV personality Mark Kiley, known for his appearance on Married at First Sight UK in 2023, has revealed he was the victim of a violent attack that left him with a black eye and multiple facial injuries.
In a video posted on Instagram, Kiley documented the aftermath of the assault, showing visible bruising, cuts and blood-stained fingernails. He said he was struck by a nightclub bouncer, a detail that has sparked concern among his followers about the circumstances of the incident.
“It’s really funny because never once did I think I’d be making a video… And, they think it’s OK, they think it’s OK,” Kiley said in the clip, expressing disbelief that the attack had happened to him. “And the worst thing is, it was a bouncer. It’s so funny because you think you’re safe.”
Kiley, who appeared on the reality dating show three years ago, has previously spoken candidly about his disappointment that his time on the series did not result in the fame or career opportunities he had hoped for after the show. On MAFS UK, he was matched with Sean Malkin, but the couple left the experiment early when their relationship did not work out.
After posting the video, a number of former co-stars, including Shona Manderson, Adrienne Naylor and Erica Roberts, offered words of support in the comments, urging him to take further action and sending messages of concern.
Kiley captioned his post: “Where you think it will never for you… I have never felt bullied or targeted until tonight. It’s not okay.”
At the time of writing, police have not publicly confirmed the details of the attack.
