Love is Blind UK is set to return to our screens soon, with Netflix revealing the 30 hopefuls aiming to find their dream partner.
A fresh batch of singletons will arrive, hoping to find their perfect match. However, in true Love is Blind style, there’s a significant twist to the usual dating show format.
Participants explore potential connections and go on dates without ever laying eyes on each other. Secluded in individual pods, a couple only meets face to face when they decide to take their relationship to the next level by getting engaged.
Following a highly successful first series, Season 2 has been given the go-ahead and is scheduled for release on August 13 on Netflix, once again hosted by Matt and Emma Willis.
