Round 2 - DING DING!
Love Is blind UK is back and the full line up has been revealed.
The highly anticipated dating show is hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, and is set to follow 30 singletons who will choose someone to marry without ever meeting them.
3 Irish contestants have been confirmed to enter the pods to uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.
Tara

Tara finds it tough to meet men in Wicklow because the dating pool is relatively small. Her last relationship ended 18 months ago after more than two years together because she felt they were recycling the same jokes and small talk. Tara was told by a fortune teller that she’d be engaged by September, so watch this space!
Billy

Billy has been single since his divorce five years ago and finds the modern-day dating world ‘a complete minefield.’ He often feels like the third wheel as most of his friends are settled down and as a result, doesn’t socialise as much as he used to. Divorce hasn’t put Billy off marriage and he’s keen to be a husband again and start a family with his life partner.
Christine

Christine has had her fair share of heartbreak and admits that bad boys are her downfall. The Monica from Friends lookalike finds it hard to date in her small rural town where the guys are already snapped up.
As an only child, Christine would love to be able to provide her parents with a grandchild and is hoping the experiment will lead to the white wedding she’s always dreamed of.
If you're new to the show, over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.
When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with?
Love Is Blind UK will premiere on Netflix the 13th of August - so set your alarms!
