Married At First Sight UK star Mark Kiley opens up about his father's suicide and candidly details his struggles with grief


Mark, 38, who appeared on series eight of the Channel 4 show, lost his father when he was just 20-years-old, and turned to alcohol and food to avoid the grief.

Mark hopes for a world where open discussions about mental health can lead to understanding and healing: 'If I can share my story and help even one person, then it's worth it. Mark explained that he spent ten years single, and decided to sign up for MAFS UK, but claimed bosses were more focused on 'creating drama' than finding love. A Channel 4 spokesman told MailOnline: 'MAFS UK is very much an unscripted reality series and what viewers see onscreen is an accurate depiction of the cast’s actions and opinions at the time.'
