The duo are among 30 hopefuls looking for love on the show

Two Doncaster singletons looking for love have been unveiled as contestants on the upcoming series of Netflix dating show Love Is Blind UK.

The show, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, sees 30 eligible men and women entering pods to build bonds based not on looks but on emotional compatibility.

Season three of the show will see the couples that uncover a connection get engaged sight unseen before meeting face-to-face for the first time.

They’ll then re-enter the real world, which will bring new challenges to navigate together while cohabitating and planning for the future. At the end of several weeks, they’ll meet at the altar and answer the question, “Is love truly blind?”

Among them will be 29-year-old Doncaster planning officer Luke and Katie, a 30-year-old project manager.

Luke describes himself as “secret nerd,” obsessed with Star Wars and pub trivia.

But when it comes to dating, he certainly doesn’t have all the answers.

Aside from a few situationships, Luke has been single his whole adult life.

He believes he’s been too picky in the past, so he’s turning to Love Is Blind to help break the cycle — especially because he feels his time to find the one is running out.

Luke says his tight-knit Jamaican family is pressuring him to settle down, and he worries about ending up an older dad if he starts too late.

Meanwhile, single mum Katie says dating has taken a backseat to raising her seven-year-old son.

And though she’s thriving as a single parent, the social butterfly is ready to spread her wings and fly down the winding roads of romance.

But rushing into commitments hasn’t worked out in the past.

Katie’s first marriage ended after just three months, but she still believes a happily ever after is possible, especially when she looks at her parents, who have been in love for the last 40 years.

With a “second time lucky” hope at stake, this experiment could very well bring out Katie’s competitive side.

Episodes will begin airing on Netflix from August 19.
