Love Is Blind UK season 2 cast: Meet all the new couples

Love Is Blind UK season 2 has finally landed on Netflix, which means a brand new cohort of British singles are embarking on the blind love experiment. They've got their notebooks and their golden goblets and they're heading into the pods. But who is part of the Love is Blind season 2 cast this year?

For those who may forget the wild wold of Love Is Blind, it goes something like this. Single men and women move into a shared house where, for two weeks, they spend their time speaking to potential partners in “pods” — they can't see each other, but they can hear each other and send each other gifts. If a couple gets engaged in the pods, they meet in a strange long hallway before embarking on a couple's trip.

Then they live together for a few weeks before they eventually walk down the aisle and decide whether or not they made the right decision. The hosts, Emma and Matt Willis, say “is love truly blind” a lot. And it's up to you, the viewer, to decide. Shakespeare would certainly approve.
