Love Is Blind: UK

Love Is Blind: UK is a British reality show on Netflix, similar to the original American project created by Chris Coelen. In this article, we will discuss its format, released seasons, and finalists in detail.

Basic information about the show

The essence of the project is that participants engage in deep conversations in isolated capsules without external evaluation in order to establish genuine emotional connections, after which the next stage begins – the transition to real life.

History of the show

The show premiered on 7 August 2004. Initially, the project was planned as a three-week event. On 21 August 2024, it was announced that there would be a second season of Love Is Blind: UK.

The show was filmed in various European countries.

In 2025, the first season of Love Is Blind: UK was nominated for a BAFTA award.

Format

The format of Love Is Blind: UK is quite original. Participants looking for their soul mate meet in special ‘capsules’ for the first 10 days of the project. These are private rooms divided in half by a transparent blue screen, allowing them to communicate without seeing each other.

The process begins with a series of short dates, after which participants must decide with whom they would like to spend more time. At any point, one may propose marriage, and after acceptance, the couple meets in person for the first time.

In the next stage, the engaged couples go on a week-long holiday to a resort to get to know each other better, take their relationship to the next level, and meet the other participants in the experiment.

The couples then move to an apartment complex in London for the remaining three weeks.

Interesting facts:

• Men have the right to choose rings from those offered or purchase their own before participating in the show.
• During the filming of the project, there is a ban on phones. Giving up gadgets helps participants focus on their relationships; they also do not have access to Wi-Fi or television.
• Participants are not allowed to choose who they will have their first date with. The producers organise short 15-minute meetings with each person of the opposite sex.
• The men and women participating in the project live separately. Until they are engaged, they cannot see each other, are located in different parts of the set, and work with different production teams.
• Despite the fact that couples are not allowed to see or touch each other, they have the right to choose how their dates will take place - the options can be very different, from painting to playing the guitar.
• If a participant does not connect with anyone, they leave the project.
• Participants are not recommended to reveal their relationships on social media before the season premiere or wear rings before that moment.

Where is Love Is Blind UK filmed?

The project was filmed in various European countries.

The scenes with capsules in the first season, where the participants had no visual interaction, were filmed in Stockholm, Sweden. Sets from the Swedish version of the Love Is Blind franchise were used for this.

The engaged couples travelled to Corfu, Greece, where they spent seven days at the Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa.

A number of scenes were filmed in London, England, particularly around Beaufort House Chelsea.

In the second season, the couples travelled to Peyia, Cyprus, staying at the Cap St George Hotel and Resort.

They then moved to Manchester, where they lived before their wedding.

The wedding scenes were filmed at Coos Cathedral, Aboyne Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Bobby and Jasmine and Benaiah and Nicole are still together. What's more, the first of these two couples announced in early summer 2025 that they were expecting a baby.

The couples Steven and Sabrina, Freddie and Catherine, Ollie and Demi, and Tom and Maria were unable to maintain their relationships.

Steven and Sabrina broke up a year later. The main reason was their inability to maintain a long-distance relationship.

Freddie and Catherine did not get married because Freddie felt that it was not yet the right time.

Ollie and Demi: due to a lack of contact in the run-up to the wedding, Demi decided to call off the marriage.

Tom and Maria broke up despite attempts to rekindle their relationship after the show.

Ashleigh and Billy. After leaving the pods to continue the experiment, the couple faced difficulties, but in the finale, the partner stated that they would overcome them and ultimately build a life together.

Sarover and Kal. The couple had no trouble finding common ground in the pods and grew closer, largely due to their ethnic backgrounds: Kal is half Pakistani and Sarover is Indian.

Couples can invite up to 100 guests to their wedding, paying only for special requests.
