Fans of Netflix's Love is Blind UK are in agreement that season one lived up to expectations for the first British version of the show, with contestants like Freddie Powell capturing the attention – and hearts – of viewers.
With Matt and Emma Willis at the helm hosting the show, we’ve been taken on a fantastic journey as we watched 30 single hopefuls initially try to find love, without knowing what their counterparts look like, with six couples eventually chosen to have their journeys documented.
From Nicole Stevens, Maria Benkh, Benaiah Warrilow and Sam Klein, the cast both past and present have really stepped up to the plate to deliver the people what they want; drama.

Freddie Powell is no exception after he asked his partner Catherine Richards for a prenup before their wedding, leaving fans wondering how much he gets paid. So who is Freddie? From his age, height, job and Instagram to just how much he gets paid. Here’s what we know.
What is Freddie from Love Is Blind UK's job? How much is he paid?
Freddie works at a funeral home in Salford where his position is a funeral director. The reality star has openly admitted on the show that his morbid profession has scared off potential love interests in the past.
“As a funeral director, I am surrounded by death every day, which will scare people away. It has affected my dating. It limits how I can meet people,” he revealed on the show.
But viewers have been particularly interested in how much the man has been getting paid doing what he loves. Fans seem especially curious because of his request for a prenup.
According to Job search site Indeed, funeral directors make roughly £23,834 a year. The site revealed that this figure had been calculated based on 736 salaries reported to the site from those in similar positions.
Whilst we can’t confirm whether this is how much Freddie takes home, he has obviously been doing well enough to want to protect his assets.
In fact, the reason behind the prenup was to make sure his own family were looked after in the event of his passing.
Freddie admitted on the show that he wanted his house to go to his sister which made Catherine feel like he wasn't fully committed to her.
