70 complaints filed over Married at First Sight XL, SVT says criticism will be addressed in upcoming episodes

70 reports have been received by the Review Board for "Married at First Sight XL", Expressen writes.

Many viewers believe that SVT is failing in its public service mission when participant Urban Nyman's views, which are perceived as misogynistic, are allowed to go unchallenged.

In the programme, Nyman says, among other things, that he cannot accept his female partner having male friends.

In a clip on Instagram, Nyman says:

"Some criticism is relevant and some of it is people trying to fill in my personality after a few minutes of watching TV, but I don't have any stress about trying to make everyone understand me."

Linn Svalö, executive producer at SVT, writes in an email to the newspaper that in upcoming episodes it will be clear how the experts and other participants view his statements.
