Popular Netflix social experiment Love is Blind UK concluded on August 21, 2024, with a special reunion episode on August 26, 2024. The reunion, filmed a year after the finale, revealed the current dynamics between the participants.
One of the couples, Catherine and Freddie, parted ways on their wedding day because Freddie said, "No." Since then, the couple has been separated, and fans have wondered what has happened.
Catherine appeared on a podcast hosted by Melissa Nathoo on September 4, 2024. She shared many things, including how Freddie blocked her, her friendship with former cast member Sam, how she deals with online comments, and more.
"So at the start, I was like very much reading every comment and I was like, “Oh my gosh” like I can’t do this, cried a lot, and now I find it funny because people are now arguing amongst themselves on the comments like they’re battling. It’s not even to do with me, like, they’re having their own little war. So it’s quite entertaining, but now I literally just block and delete. It’s all you can do"

star Catherine opens up about "blocking and deleting" comments over the internet
Catherine shared that her ex-fiance, Freddie Powell, blocked her since they parted ways and she had been facing various online comments. She used to "cry a lot" initially, but then, as revealed on the podcast, she just "blocks and deletes."
"It just baffles me. Some of the stuff that is said, some of it hurts ‘cuz a lot of people are talking about my adoption. So I just have to kind of remove myself and just think, "No, it’s just a message, they don’t know you." So yeah, block and delete"
When the host asked about Sam's contact with her, Catherine said he was in her friends’ group and also "had it tough." She added that Sam had been posting that she was with him when she was sitting at home and thought it was the "funniest" thing.
They also discussed how female participants from the show have been in touch with her and how they have supported Catherine.
