Irish singles take centre stage in Love Is Blind UK season 2

Netflix has finally lifted the veil on the cast of Love Is Blind: UK Season 2 – and the pods are about to get a distinctly Irish twang.

Among a number of hopeful romantics getting ready to flirt through the walls and gamble on love without a single glance, several hail from across the Irish Sea.

From Limerick natives to Wicklow wanderers and even a Northern Irish accent or two in the mix, this year’s batch promises plenty of craic alongside the chaos.

The streaming giant unveiled the line-up on Thursday morning, sparking instant buzz online. Could 2025 finally be the year the UK franchise delivers its first mega Irish love story—or heartbreak broadcast in 4K?

A synopsis for the reality show reads: ‘UK and Ireland-based singles who want to be loved for who they are have signed up for a less-conventional approach to modern dating, and will choose someone to marry without ever meeting them.

‘Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.

‘When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with? Hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, this series will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.’

First up representing the emerald isle, we have 35-year-old HR Operations Lead Christine, with the Limerick native hopeful to strike gold.

‘Christine has had her fair share of heartbreak and admits that bad boys are her downfall. The Monica from Friends lookalike finds it hard to date in her small rural town where the guys are already snapped up,’ show bosses divulged.

‘As an only child, Christine would love to be able to provide her parents with a grandchild and is hoping the experiment will lead to the white wedding she’s always dreamed of.’

Next up we have Tara, a 33-year-old cafe owner from County Wicklow.

Speaking on her dating history, show bosses said: ‘Tara finds it tough to meet men in Wicklow because the dating pool is relatively small. Her last relationship ended 18 months ago after more than two years together because she felt they were recycling the same jokes and small talk. Tara was told by a fortune teller that she’d be engaged by September, so watch this space!’

Hailing from up north, we have 35-year-old Army Physical Trainer Barry.

The Bangor native was once married, but is now ready to find love once more following his split.

‘Billy has been single since his divorce five years ago and finds the modern-day dating world ‘a complete minefield.’ He often feels like the third wheel as most of his friends are settled down and as a result, doesn’t socialise as much as he used to.

‘Divorce hasn’t put Billy off marriage and he’s keen to be a husband again and start a family with his life partner.’

The second season of Love is Blind UK will hit Netflix on August 13.
