Love is Blind fans go wild as Netflix announces first UK series of hit dating show

Love is Blind is coming to the UK and fans of the series couldn't be happier.

Reality TV fans will get to see how British hopefuls get on appearing on the dating show very soon, as Netflix announces Love is Blind is on the lookout for new applicants.

The streaming giant is now accepting applications for people interested on being on what will be the first British season of the controversial series.

The listing states: "Welcome! Thank you for your interest in applying for Love is Blind: UK.

"Please fill in this short application form and one of the team will get back to you if they would like to proceed with your application.

"Please note, due to the anticipated high volume of applicants the team cannot get back to every applicant.

"Closing dates for applicants is 1st June 2023. We reserve the right to extend or close the application process at any time in our sole discretion for any reason and without notice."

No further details have been released yet but Love is Blind fans are already excited about a British version of the dating series.

"Big news: Love is Blind is coming to the UK!" Netflix UK tweeted from their official account, adding a link for wannabes to fill in an application form.

"Why do I know this gonna eat up the US version… British people just do reality tv better!! Idk idk," one excited fan declared as the new broke online.

"This has chaos written all over it , I will be seated," another added, as a third tweeted: "I have never been so excited-all that mess + UK accents?? Sign me up."

Some had reservations about a UK version of Love is Blind - claiming the UK dating scene is very different to how things are done in America.
