Netflix recently released a fresh batch of episodes of Love is Blind UK, featuring engaged couples now living together during the next phase. Fans can now stream nine episodes of the show on the platform, with just two finale episodes, which will soon be released on August 21, 2024.

The fifth episode of Love is Blind UK revealed that Nicole and Sam, previously engaged on the show, called things off. After her engagement with Sam was called off, Nicole expressed a desire to meet and apologize to her potential connection, Benaiah. Since he also wanted to explore his connection with Nicole, he accepted and met Nicole, to whom he later proposed.

After they got engaged, the rest of the couples on the show didn’t know because they were in Corfu, Greece, spending time together. The fifth episode of Love is Blind UK featured Nicole and Benaiah meeting the other couples, who were delighted to see the newly engaged couple.

Recalling how she was waiting in a cafe to meet Benaiah for the first time, Nicole shared with the female participants:

"We just had, like, a sit down somewhere, like a cafe. And I was waiting. I was so anxious."
