A Love Quest Gone Wrong
An RAF airman named Alex Henry made headlines when he abandoned his post at an electronic warfare base to participate in Channel 4's dating show, Married at First Sight. His quest for love and fame took a drastic turn when he was jailed upon his return.
Seized by Military Police
Henry, 28, was seized by military police when he returned from filming the show and was sentenced to 34 days in a military prison. Despite serving 24 days as a model inmate, he was ultimately sacked from his position.
Defying Orders
Despite being refused extra leave to take part in the TV show, Henry decided to go ahead with his plans, asking for forgiveness later. His spokesman mentioned that he returned after filming voluntarily and handed himself over to the military authorities.
Accusations of Abuse
After C4 shared Henry's promo reel, he faced accusations of abuse, with one woman labeling him as a "dangerous individual." The RAF declined to comment on the matter.
