The cast for Netflix’s Love is Blind UK has been unveiled and it includes two Irish hopefuls.
The trailer of the new UK series, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, was released earlier today ahead of the opening show on August 7.
Sabrina Egerton (35) from Belfast will be looking for love on the reality TV series.
Netflix said: “Unlucky in love Sabrina is hoping to meet the man of her dreams in the experiment. She hasn’t had much luck with men in her dating life which has led to her being hyper independent.
“Sabrina believes the pods will give her an opportunity to get deep with men from the get-go. She hopes to find someone who has worked through their own issues and wants to grow with her to be the best versions of themselves.”
Conor Griffin (31) from south Dublin owns a health food business and is described as “cheeky, flirtatious and down to earth” in the blurb for the show.
He’s been single for seven years and since his last relationship ended, says he has struggled to find anyone he can truly connect with.
According to Netflix: “After losing his mum three years ago, he [Conor] started his own health food business in her memory, determined to make her proud. Now he’s keen to start a family of his own.”
Love is Blind, it’s a Netflix series which has been running in the US since early 2020, and its coming to the UK for the first time this summer.
They will be among 30 men and women who have signed up for a less-conventional approach to modern dating, and will choose someone to marry without ever meeting them.
Contestants have to choose someone to marry without ever meeting them. Then 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? Hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, this series will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.
