Everything you need to know about Love is Blind UK
30 British singletons are about to take the ultimate leap of faith and put their love lives on the line for new Netflix reality series, Love Is Blind UK.
All have agreed to take part in an experiment with one mission: to discover if love is truly blind.
Spending two weeks in “pods,” each participant will get the chance to date 15 other people and pick one to marry, without ever seeing what the other one looks like.
It’s only when a proposal is agreed to that they meet who they believe is their perfect match.
From that point on, they have just six weeks to meet each other’s families, live together, and ultimately decide if their love is true enough to say “I Do” to as they make their way down the aisle.
Expect a lot of tears, a lot of arguments, and a lot of surprises as these wannabe lovers do what it takes to finally be pronounced husband and wife.
