Netflix’s popular reality show Love is Blind UK concluded with the finale episode on August 21, 2024. A week later, on August 26, 2024, the platform also released a special reunion episode that revealed the current dynamics between the couples and other participants.

One of the couples on the dating show was Demi Brown and Ollie Sutherland, who are no longer together. Love is Blind UK star Demi recently appeared on This Morning’s September 2, 2024 episode and shared her endometriosis story.

Along with her, the show also featured Dr. Nitu, an experienced gynecologist on the show. The show hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley asked the Love is Blind UK star about her battle with endometriosis, which she discussed on the reality show.

"I think the biggest step for me was actually, just taking ownership of it. So now, I’m there, it’s like, yeah. I feel a bit more confident in my decisions now, and I’m being more intentional like you see me on the show talk about how I want a family; that is one of the main things that I want, and if I want that, then there’s certain things that I know I have to go away and work on."

Love is Blind UK star Demi Brown shares her endometriosis story

During her recent interview on This Morning, Love is Blind UK star Demi chimed in on her battle with endometriosis and how she is managing it after the diagnosis.

The co-host, Cat, told Demi she was quite vocal and honest about her endometriosis on the reality show. Demi agreed and shared that she went into the experiment with the thought of giving herself to someone. That is why she felt she "needed to share" that part of who she was.

"But it’s something that I’m very uncomfortable with. So obviously, I knew I had to, like, disclose it, and it was a lot for me to do, but the relief was so liberating afterwards to kind of get out there. I was received so beautifully and it honestly has helped me massively, so I’m very happy about that."

Co-host Ben then mentioned how it was quite an emotional subject until she decided to share it now.

"Honestly, to say the word "endometriosis," which I can say now. I used to feel just really tearful and really upset about it," shared Demi.

She was then asked about how the condition started and then affected her. The Love is Blind UK star shared how she struggled with it while playing football in school. She also shared that initially she was misdiagnosed with the condition. Later, she was diagnosed with endometriosis when she was 26. She then went through the keyhole surgery.

Demi then shared about finding the balance with endometriosis and opened up about how she is now "being intentional" and how she will live her life and lifestyle.
