The first series of Love is Blind UK is coming to Netflix soon! Here’s what we know so far, including who’s hosting and when it’s coming out.
Love is Blind: UK is finally coming to TV screens after Netflix confirmed the UK edition months ago. The series follows on from the success of six US seasons of the dating show, which sees singletons get to know each other from within individual pods, never meeting until they get engaged.
The UK format will stay the same as the original, with dating hopefuls taking to the iconic pods to get to know each other but it will obviously be hosted by a brand new couple – Emma and Matt Willis, who have been married for 16 years!
Netflix have dropped the first trailer for the show, revealing Emma and Matt as hosts and the release date, 7th August, is finally upon us.
While we wait for it to begin, here’s what we know so far about Love is Blind: UK, from release date and trailers to episode information.
Love is Blind: UK is coming out on 7th August!
When they confirmed the release month, hosts Matt and Emma revealed the news in a video on Netflix's Instagram. Matt said: "We've got some massive news for you, we are so excited to announce that Love Is Blind UK is coming to Netflix this August."
We are marking out the whole of August as 'busy obsessing over Love Is Blind'.
Husband and wife duo Emma and Matt Willis are hosting Love is Blind: UK! Emma is known for hosting shows like Big Brother, The Circle and Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, while Matt is known as being a member of iconic band Busted.
The couple have presented together before; on MTV and also on I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp in 2007. They co-hosted the BRITs and BAFTAs together in 2008, so this won’t be the first time sharing the screen together.
Emma and Matt have been together since 2004, tying the knot in 2008 and going on to have three children together; Isabelle, 14, Ace, 12 and Trixie, eight.
