No matter where you point to on a map, there’s one thing you’re sure to find: people searching for love. That’s where Love Is Blind can help, making perfect matches all over the world for years now — one pod date at a time.
Following the US, Brazil, Japan, and Sweden, Love Is Blind heads across the pond to the United Kingdom, as a brand new batch of singles will join the experiment in hopes of being loved for who they are instead of what they look like.
While the setting, accents, and hosts might be different, the approach to finding an everlasting bond will be the same. Love Is Blind: UK will see 30 men and women enter the pods, where they’ll meet a host of potential soulmates without the distraction of the outside world. If they get engaged, the couples will then lay their eyes on their fiancés for the very first time, and see whether their physical connection can match their emotional one. Once they’re back in the real world, the couples will determine once and for all whether love is truly blind, as the realities of everyday life sink in and their much-awaited wedding day finally arrives.

“I’m so excited to be presenting the UK version of Love Is Blind with Emma,” says Willis. “We love the show! It’s been such a dream working together and fascinating to watch the process unfold. Experiencing this new project side by side has been really amazing, and I can’t wait for people to come on this journey with us.”
“I love to play matchmaker with my friends and love LOVE, so I am so excited to be co-hosting the first ever UK version of Love Is Blind,” adds Emma. “I’m intrigued to see people connect on a purely emotional and mental level right off the bat, without visuals playing a part. Plus — you’re getting double Willis! I’ve loved going to work with Matt, and we’re both obsessed with the show, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity.”
