Love is Blind UK star Sam Klein has rushed to defend himself after finding himself under fire for his behaviour on the show. The 31-year-old product design manager was one of the 30 singles looking for love on the Netflix dating series. However, when tuning into the show, many viewers took issue with several things Sam said and did, including expressing concerns about being able to ‘pick up Nicole’, how he responded to rejection and how he later commented on Nicole’s ‘boring brown eyes’.
After proposing in person, he then told her: ‘I think I love you.’ Many also suggested they believed Sam had only signed up for his ’15 minutes of fame’. However, when appearing on the reunion episode , which was released tonight, Sam spoke about the backlash he’d received.
As host Matt Willis explained when introducing him to the stage: ‘It’s fair to say you’ve provoked a very strong reaction from the public.’ After being asked how the last few weeks had been, he responded: ‘Look, it’s not been easy. I have to be real.
I went to do a show to try and find the future wife of my life and the last few weeks of my life have not been great and there’s been quite a lot of backlashes and it’s been hard to handle. ‘But I would say it’s made me a lot stronger and that I’ve learnt a lot about myself and that I can handle anything now. ‘I thought I was ready for love but maybe I wasn’t at the time.
’ Host Emma Willis then asked one of Sam’s previous love .
