Married At First Sight UK’s Luke Worley threatened ‘if you upset my wife you will know about it’ in a now-deleted Instagram post which has been condemned by Channel 4.
Luke, 30, urged viewers of the E4 reality series to watch the episode on Monday night which will see him ‘slap’ Jordan, 26, while also branding his co-star a ‘p***y.’
Using the hash tag, ‘chat s***, get banged’, Luke warned anyone against coming in between him and his wife Jay Howard, who was seen in tears at the end of Thursday evening’s instalment.
The contestant was seen furiously banging on the door of Jordan’s apartment in a clip which aired on Thursday as the channel previewed the fight which bosses say will be ‘addressed’ on the show.
MailOnline exclusively revealed that Luke was axed from the programme after using violence against Jordan, who he repeatedly clashed with over their differences in opinion.

Bosses have reprimanded Luke over the ‘aggressive language’ he used on Instagram, saying that they have ‘raised the matter with the cast member concerned’
And now Channel 4 have issued a statement to MailOnline saying the broadcaster has a ‘zero-tolerance policy towards violence’ and they had no choice but to ‘remove’ Luke from the experiment.
Bosses have also reprimanded Luke over the ‘aggressive language’ he used on Instagram, saying that they have ‘raised the matter with the cast member concerned.’
Luke was left furious after discovering that Jordan had badmouthed him to his wife Jay while he was absent from the show’s latest dinner party.
Due to health concerns, Luke made an abrupt exit from filming the episode and subsequently didn’t have any contact with Jay, who stayed in a separate room until the following morning.
After learning that Jordan had disagreed with Luke saying he could get away with cheating on Jay because of her kindhearted nature, he stormed into his apartment to confront his rival.
Jordan and his wife Erica Roberts were shocked to hear Luke knocking as the fight between the pair was teased on Thursday.
A Channel 4 spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘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. We took prompt action as soon as this incident occurred, and Luke was subsequently removed from the experiment. This will all be addressed in Monday’s episode.’

Luke and Jordan have struggled to see eye to eye during filming of the E4 series, arguing over their differences in opinions, which finally comes to a head on Monday night’s show
In the early hours of Friday morning, following PrettyLittleThing’s Halloween party which Luke attended along with some of his co-stars, he took to social media to slam Jordan once more.
He wrote: ‘If you upset my wife you will know about it… Tune in on Monday to see me slap Jordan the p***y. ‘#chats**tgetbanged’
Insisting that they urge every one of their cast members ‘to treat each other with respect,’ Channel 4 added: ‘We do not condone any form of violence, or aggressive language, and have raised the matter with the cast member concerned.’
In the build up to their altercation, which saw Luke removed from the process, the Essex salesman has also ridiculed Jordan over his Jack Grealish hairstyle.
In a video shared to Instagram, Jordan claimed that Luke had been trying to defend his behaviour in light of recent scenes.
Hitting back and referring to Jordan as Mr. Wish Grealish, Luke said: ‘So, it looks like you can’t take my name out of your mouth, and you want to keep dragging this on. Me defending myself this week…
‘Mate, do not forget what you have done and what people will see this week coming.
You are going to be outed… my mask is slipping… Your wig is slipping.
‘I am telling you now people are going to see your true colours and see what you did to make a vulnerable girl upset. You wait until their husband is not there to upset them.’
