Controversial MAFS groom shows off his ‘Turkey teeth’ makeover after being banned from reunion
MARRIED At First Sight star Alex Henry has shown off a new look thanks to getting dental work done in Turkey.
Alex Henry, who was married to Holly Ditchfield on the most recent series of Married At First Sight, shared his new smile with Instagram fans.
He shared a video of himself heading on a flight to Turkey and getting the dental work done, as he wrote: “All I wanted for Christmas was a perfect smile. Come with me to @dentaverseturkey
“Love putting a smile on peoples faces wherever I go.
“‘A good smile can change your life’. Go and see them for the best teeth and hospitality!”
In the video clip, Alex undergoes various dental procedures and eventually shows off his brighter and whiter looking smile.
The video comes after last month it was revealed he wouldn’t be joining his fellow cast mates for the reunion episode of the E4 series.
Alex was arrested and jailed following his appearance on the E4 series, and as such didn’t appear in the reunion episode which is filmed months after the initial filming stopped in February.
The Sun confirmed in November that Alex did not attend filming for the reunion episodes.
A source said: “Alex didn’t film either of the two reunion episodes, which seemed really odd to the rest of the cast.
“It was unclear whether it was Channel 4‘s decision or his own, but there was a lot of chatter about it amongst the brides and grooms who expected him to be there with his ex, Holly.”
Alex finished filmed MAFS in February but before the series launched late summer, with the 28-year-old had attracted a slew of scandal.
He was pelted with domestic abuse allegations after his promo reel was shared online, with one user branding him a “dangerous individual”.
It later emerged Henry abandoned his RAF post to appear on the dating show, and was arrested and then failed for 24 days in a military prison for leaving the electronic warfare base to shoot the series without permission.
Last year, Alex featured in another Channel 4 dating reality show, Let’s Make a Love Scene.
However the episode he appeared in was never aired after his former partner reported his behaviour to the show’s producer.
The alleged victim was told by Channel 4 that MAFS UK is “produced by a different production company to the one who made the previous show, so they would have been unaware of Alexander’s participation in a programme that was never broadcast”.
However, Channel 4 confirmed it would not be cutting Alex’s scenes on MAFS as “the DBS (criminal record) check carried out on the contributor raised in the allegation was returned clear”.
Amid the domestic violence allegations, a Channel 4 spokesman said at the time: “MAFS UK contributors are subject to rigorous background vetting, including multiple independent psychological evaluations and a criminal record check before they can be cleared to take part.
“We cast contributors based on the information we are legally able to access and we continue to review this process to ensure checks are as thorough as legally possible.”
