Yahoo News Love Is Blind UK star says multiple proposals were cut from show
Love Is Blind UK spoilers follow.
Love Is Blind UK star Shirley Bekker has claimed that multiple proposals were cut from the show.
The junior doctor is among the cast taking part in the recently-released UK version of the Netflix show, though her romantic journey hasn’t formed a central part of the season.
However, in a new TikTok post, Shirley claimed that despite seeing six engagements on screen, there were actually a few more that didn’t make the final edit.

“Although you see a total of six engagements, 11 of our cast got engaged,” she told fans. “There were only four of us who did not get engaged and I was one of them. That's a little bit embarrassing.
“With it only being 11 total episodes, you have to think that only certain stories can get followed all the way to the altar, because there just isn't a way to fit in that many stories into that few episodes.”
Shirley went on to admit that “it would've been interesting to still see those romantic journeys” that didn’t make the cut, and “to see that some romantic journeys don't end in engagement, some end in heartbreak, some end in break-ups”.

“But that's just not how the show works in this case, which is why you don’t see me much on my romantic journey,” she added, revealing that she didn’t end up leaving the show finding love.
The show is due to air its long-awaited wedding episode this week on the streaming service, as we find out who will say "I do" or not at the altar.
At the same time, a reunion episode hosted by Emma and Matt Willis will be released, in which the couples will “look back on their time in the experiment, break down this season's twists and turns and be joined by special guests from the pod squad to answer all our burning questions”.
