Love is Blind UK season 1 is hosted by husband and wife presenting duo Matt and Emma Willis for the first British edition of Netflix’s famous dating show and there was a huge line-up of singletons hoping to find love from within the pods, so it's no wonder season 2 has already been confirmed.

There are 30 contestants, including Freddie, Benaiah, Sam and Nicole, on the UK version of the show, which sees them date other people from behind a wall, bonding over a matter of days but never actually meeting until they decide to get engaged.

After that, the couples each fly to a romantic destination before returning home to normal life, meeting each other’s friends and families and eventually, hopefully, getting married before they all come back together for a reunion which updated viewers on their post-wedding relationships. But who are the cast of singletons hoping to find true love on Love is Blind UK season 1?
