Love Is Blind UK recap: From love squares, interfering mothers and financial woes... Which couples are still together and who gets married?

As a seasoned observer of love stories unfolding on screen, I must say that this batch of couples on Love Is Blind UK has certainly piqued my interest. From Maria and Tom, who seem to be navigating their differences with grace and understanding, to Benaiah and Nicole, whose emotional reconciliation was as heartwarming as it was unexpected, these relationships are a testament to the complexities and unpredictability of love.


On Wednesday, I was absolutely thrilled as five fresh installments of Love Is Blind UK graced our screens! The final couples finally got to lay their eyes on each other for the very first time, right there in sunny Greece. It’s a moment we’ve all been eagerly waiting for, and it did not disappoint!

As a lifestyle guide, I’d say I witness participants juggling various challenges, from romantic entanglements to fiscal hurdles, and even dealing with potential meddling future mothers-in-law, all while they explore their lives beyond the pods.

At a party in Corfu, the long-standing friction among Cat, Freddie, Ollie, and Demi escalates dramatically as their past romantic connections are rekindled, leading to intense conflicts involving their respective partners.

As I navigate my life, I often find myself grappling with Marissa, my overly inquisitive mom. She continually questions me about my educational background and past romantic involvements, leaving me feeling a bit overwhelmed at times.

In the midst of the decision-making process about whether to proceed with their weddings, Emma and Matt Willis guide the contestants in selecting outfits for the ceremony. However, the question remains: Who among them will ultimately walk down the aisle?

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must say that with just two heart-pounding installments remaining of Love Is Blind UK, the fate of our cherished couples hangs precariously in the balance. Let’s delve into what we currently know about these lovebirds as they stand on the precipice of their dreams and destinies.

Bobby & Jasmine 

During their getaway in Corfu, Jasmine and Bobby continued to be trouble-free, growing stronger and more vibrant throughout their vacation.

Upon our arrival in London, I experienced a minor setback when Jasmine shared her discomfort about Bobby using his phone frequently. This stems from past instances we’ve encountered together.

Fortunately, her doubts are quickly allayed, but the duo subsequently encounters a new challenge: Jasmine’s overly protective mother, Marissa.

She describes that Marissa would routinely screen her phone contacts, blocking numbers of men whom she felt her daughter shouldn’t converse with.

Jasmine’s mother experiences a startle when meeting Bobby for the very first time. Her concerns about what may lie ahead cause her to question Bobby intensely about his past romantic involvements, educational history, and personal background.

Following an awkward dinner with ‘meddlesome’ Marissa, Bobby suggests establishing some limits for their relationship to thrive.

On their last ride together on the London Eye, Jasmine publicly declares her love for Bobby as “everlasting,” and Bobby confesses that he has finally discovered “genuine, lifelong affection.”

On their wedding day, Jasmine found herself overwhelmed, confessing that the day was too emotionally charged for her due to her nerves.

Ollie & Demi

Ollie and Demi get off to a rocky start when they meet Cat and Freddie at the party in Greece. 

I took a moment to sit down and have a heart-to-heart with Cat, clarifying matters since I recently informed the group that our relationship had ended. In reality, it was Cat who chose to conclude our romance within the pods.

1. Ollie acknowledges that Cat is extremely attractive, and tells Bobby there seems to be some unspoken connection lingering between them.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself often reflecting on the intricacies of relationships, and my recent observation involves the dynamic between Demi and Ollie. In their interactions with other couples, external distractions become a challenge, particularly when they’re faced with questions about the authenticity of their connection. The doubts cast by the group lead me to wonder if Ollie’s professed feelings for Demi are as profound as he claims them to be.

He angrily departs from the villa, indicating he might abandon the experiment following a fiery argument with Jasmine.

Following their less than ideal honeymoon, it seems they are making up for lost time upon returning to the UK. Their interactions with friends and relatives have been positive, and Ollie has shared about his recent ADHD diagnosis openly.

In London, Demi expresses gratitude towards her parents for serving as outstanding role models, demonstrating what genuine love looks like, as they encounter Ollie for the very first time.

As a devoted partner, I can honestly say that our affection for each other has blossomed even more profoundly during our last outing together at the arcade.

Later on, it’s noticeable that Ollie starts doubting his decision as he gets ready to wed Demi. Their body language suggests they might be feeling uneasy just before exchanging their vows.

He suggests that perhaps our relationship isn’t working out romantically, but instead, we might be more suited as friends, given the current circumstances.

Catherine & Freddie 

Struggling to decide between Freddie and Ollie, Cat decides to end things with Ollie on his birthday, opting instead to travel to Corfu with Freddie.

At their initial gathering, Freddie proves to be a helpful ally as he supports Cat through the awkwardness caused by Ollie and his teammate Demi’s tension.

Upon returning home, the pair encounter a rough patch when Freddie confesses about infidelity in his past relationship (approximately seven years back). Not surprisingly, Cat’s reaction is negative as she has been a victim of infidelity by all her former partners, making this revelation particularly unsettling.

They too shared a somewhat uncomfortable dinner with Cat’s companions, during which they talked about their vastly contrasting ways of living.

After Freddie expressed his view that his fiancée is ‘high maintenance,’ and mentioned that the funeral director is a ‘reclusive individual content with eating beans on toast,’ it appears that his friends are now doubtful about their relationship’s future.

Cat remains hopeful that a conversation with her parents will bring some understanding about her relationship with Freddie. Her mom and dad express their approval of him, even inviting him into their quirky household. However, Cat continues to harbor concerns that he may not be there by the time they exchange vows.

On her wedding day preparation, Cat confesses that she won’t encounter another man like Freddie in the future. Meanwhile, Freddie’s sister maintains they are not on the same wavelength.

Will the couple make it down the aisle?

Tom & Maria

Tom and Maria make an excellent beginning on the island, as other couples acknowledge their strong teamwork.

Upon returning home, the pair expressed concerns about their contrasting lifestyles, with Tom confessing that he hadn’t held Maria’s profession as a makeup artist in high esteem.

When Maria encounters Tom’s siblings Megan and Aine, she confides in them about her financial worries, acknowledging that, as a practicing Muslim, she has traditionally relied on males for provision.

She acknowledges that she wouldn’t find joy in helping Tom with his mortgage if their long-term plans don’t turn out successful.

In the end, Tom’s sisters sympathize with Maria’s worries and viewpoints, acknowledging that they already hold affection for her, and she is granted their acceptance.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself reflecting on an interesting TV moment where a pair of lovebirds seem more wedding-bound than ever. After all the drama and twists, they’re now sipping on cocktails, toasting to their future together – a clear sign that they’re edging closer to tying the knot. It feels like their dream of marriage is just around the corner!

On their wedding day, Maria becomes quite emotional, while Tom confesses that he could not have found a more suitable partner.

Benaiah & Nicole

Viewers can rejoice as they learn that Nicole opted for Ben over Sam following her canceled engagement. The newly formed pair are currently navigating through their challenges together.

The first encounter between them in London finds Nicole expressing regret for an error she made, conceding that her bond with Ben was significantly deeper than previously thought.

Following a heartfelt reunion, Ben proposes to Nicole by kneeling on one knee, then they jet off to Greece together to reunite with their companions.

When the contestants reach Corfu for their honeymoon, they rush over to heartily congratulate the victorious couple.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that both Maria and Jasmine concur with my earlier sentiments about Nicole choosing Benaiah. It’s heartening to see them back together, and their reunion brings a renewed sense of joy to our circle.

Upon arriving home, they successfully meet with Ben’s mother and sister, both expressing positive sentiments towards their shared future.

At the conclusion of the episode, the duo were content with how their wedding day unfolded, with Nicole playfully calling Ben her “husband.”

Sabrina & Steven

In the beautiful island of Corfu, Sabrina and Steven embody pure happiness, handling the experiment with ease, while relishing in sunset horseback rides and picnics.

After their enjoyable vacation, the couple’s journey remained effortless upon returning to the UK, eagerly anticipating introducing each other to their respective friends.

Their biggest concern is location, with Steven living in London and Sabrina residing in Belfast, however she is willing to make the move.  

Steven’s companions and sibling express joy at the prospect of meeting Sabrina, while it seems that Steven’s mother is granting her approval.

“Sabrina enthusiastically expresses her excitement when she hears Mr. and Mrs. Smith expressing their affection for each other before their wedding, saying ‘That sounds wonderful! I’m really looking forward to it!'”

In the sneak peek, viewers catch a glimpse of Sabrina and Steven beaming at their wedding altar, suggesting that all is going smoothly between them.

The final episodes of Love Is Blind UK will air on Netflix on August 21 and 25.
