I starred on Love Is Blind UK – we filmed it in a different country, didn’t live in the pods and were told what to ask

A LOVE Is Blind star has revealed they didn’t live in the pods – and bosses told them what questions to ask their dates.

The brand new dating show – hosted by Matt and Emma Willis – has griped its worldwide audience.

Netflix dropped the show earlier this month, which sees single men and women date in purpose-built “pods” before ultimately getting engaged.

The twist is that the couples can hear, but not see each other while in the pods, only meeting once a proposal has been made.

But Freddie Powell has revealed singletons don’t actually sleep on the set – instead staying at a nearby hotel – and in Sweden.

He told The Sun: “So that’s a set that you go to. And then after the day is finished you go back to a hotel.

“It was very long days. If you weren’t dating, it was long just hanging around in that lounge.

“You could pass the time. I mean, you just have the pool table. I’m not into pool, but I played it a few times just to pass the time.”

The funeral director, 32, also revealed producers prompted conversations for each date – but they didn’t have to stick to them.

He explained: “So you’ve probably seen these little notebooks that we’ve got. And in those notebooks you’re prompted.

“Each day is like a different topic. You’re not forced to talk about that subject, but you know, one day might be sort of like love language, then the next day might could be intimacy.”

Love Is Blind fans watched as Freddie got engaged to Catherine Richards on the show.

However, the pair’s nuptials didn’t go ahead after they clashed on screen.

Dental nurse Catherine has moved on with fellow cast member Jake Singleton-Hill. 

Meanwhile, Freddie confirmed to The Sun he is currently single amid rumours on his love life.

Earlier this week we revealed how the hunk has had a secret second job as a naked butler for hire.

Love Is Blind is available to stream in full on Netflix.
