A cast member from Love is Blind UK has opened up about a break-up that was not shown on the show. The series, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, follows 30 singletons as they try to find love without ever seeing each other. Out of the six couples who got engaged, three ended up getting married last year. The reunion episode, released on Monday night, revealed that Sabrina and Steven had split. However, it was later revealed that Demi, 30, also broke up with her fiancé Ollie, 32, and faced a friendship break-up as well.
Demi and Jasmine had formed a close bond during their time on the show. Jasmine even stood up for Demi during a group event in Greece when she felt Ollie had not checked in on Demi after meeting with his previous connection, Cat, in person. Jasmine also defended Demi against comments made by Cat on the reunion episode. However, Demi has now shared that she is no longer friends with Jasmine, a year after the show was filmed.
During an interview on the Reality with Will Njobvu Podcast, Demi was asked about her friendship with Jasmine. She replied, "Um, that is a grey area right now for me. Obviously, Jasmine is really good friends with Sharlotte. Me and Jasmine were very good friends, but at the event I went to the other day, I felt quite isolated. I had to remind myself that this isn't my reality and my true friends are at home." She also mentioned that she had reached out to Jasmine for communication but did not receive the support she needed in that moment. Demi explained that she is not trying to diminish the friendship she had with Jasmine, but she needs to protect herself and has chosen to distance herself from certain people.
Demi also shared that she initially wanted to speak her truth at the reunion, but decided not to because she realized that these people will not be a part of her future. She added, "I don't want any relationship with these people moving forward, so why keep fueling something that needs to die out now? I just want to get on with my life and find my husband." However, Demi still maintains a close friendship with Nicole and Elle, whom she called her "safety blanket" during the pods.
On the other hand, Ollie expressed his frustration with the cast and some viewers for not believing in his attraction towards Demi. He explained that this misconception was present even before he met Demi and it plays into a stereotype of what the "perfect" beauty standard is. Ollie emphasized that women come in all shapes, sizes, shades, and heights, and we should appreciate and celebrate that diversity.
