Love Is Blind UK: Meet the cast heading into the pods
These are the 30 singles looking for their future spouse
It's official, in just two weeks the Love Is Blind pods will be open for the first time in the UK on Netflix, and these are the 30 singles looking for their future spouse in the pods. Ranging from 27 to 37 years old, from across the country, and with a variety of jobs (one guy is literally a funeral director), these cast members will spend all their time in the pods going on dates and searching for the love of their life. Will they be able to find common ground without seeing each other? Will they be able to build a connection with no physical touching? And most importantly will they get down on one knee and propose?
Well while we've still got two weeks (mark your calendars for the 7th August) to find that out, we now do have all the singles heading into the pods. And so we've got two weeks to play matchmaker and see who we think will find love. So without further ado, get ready, because here they are, introducing the cast of Love Is Blind UK.
