Love Is Blind UK has hit Netflix, with fans getting their first glimpse at the couples hoping to find love without ever seeing one other.

*WARNING - This article contains spoilers for the first four episodes of Love Is Blind UK.*

The much-anticipated Love Is Blind UK has arrived on Netflix today, with viewers tuning in to watch the formation of brand-new couples. The series, which follows the success of the US original in 2020, is presented by married couple Matt and Emma Willis.

Love Is Blind involves a group of singletons meeting through a screen and proposing to their chosen partner without ever laying eyes on them. Once the couples confirm their engagement, they meet face-to-face for the first time and enjoy a brief honeymoon period getting to know each other before their imminent wedding.

Netflix previously revealed their varied cast of love-seekers, including Dental Nurse Catherine, Funeral Director Freddie, Product Design Manager Sam, and Social Worker Ella. One of the first couples who are easy to cheer for is Director of Marketing and Communications Sabrina and Gym Owner Steven.

In the Netflix series, Sabrina and Steven seemed to connect instantly, with little competition from other participants. However, things quickly became emotional for Sabrina in the first episode when she discusses the death of her grandmother, leading her to tears.

She shared with the camera: "I'm so ready to meet my soulmate. I really hope he's here. I think it's really great to build a life together.

"On the surface, I'm like Miss Independent. 'I don't need a man.' But at the same time, I am a bit of a hopeless romantic."

The Express reports how Sabrina offered a heartbreaking glimpse into her personal struggles, as she revealed: "Over the last year, there's been some situations in my life... My granny, who I was very, very close to, my Gigi, passed away."

Pausing as she fought back tears, she said: "Oh gosh. I don't wanna -" Her voice cracked with emotion as she went on: "You know, she was kind of the heart of my family.

"And after her funeral, coming home to an empty house on my own and I was just..." she continued sadly.

"It's moments like that where it would just be nice to have someone to be there and hug you and be like, 'It's going to be okay.'

"Sorry, I just get really upset every time I talk about Gigi," she added, as she wiped tears from her eyes.

Viewers are now left wondering if Steven will become the supportive companion Sabrina needs as they follow the rest of the series with anticipation.

Love Is Blind UK premieres Wednesday, August 7 on Netflix. Part 2 will be released on August 14, followed by Part 3 on August 21.
