Love Is Blind UK duo Freddie Powell and Catherine Richards are being urged to undergo some genealogical testing by viewers. Now streaming its first four episodes on Netflix , the Matt and Emma Willis-fronted dating series captured the 32-year-old Boltonian and 29-year-old dental nurse getting to know one another, but their interaction has raised some outlandish questions. After asking for Freddie's surname, Cat was left laughing.
The first coincidence then emerged when she revealed that her middle name Mary is a tribute to her grandmother, with her flirtatious co-star claiming his grandmother was also called Mary. Cat visibly welled up at this, but the crazy situation only got crazier from there after she told Freddie that her grandfather was Bill. "I don't believe you.
I've got goosebumps," replied Freddie. "Do you know what my granddad was called? Bill. Oh what the hell! Are you joking.
That's mad." The jury's still out on whether this is a sign of destiny in motion, but that hasn't stopped many Love Is Blind UK fans from weighing in on the weirdness via social media. One person reacting to Freddie and Cat's exchange wrote: "Can you plz show the scene where it dawns on them that they're cousins.
" "Old people named William and Mary in the UK? Stop it right now! This is insanity!" somebody else joked. Meanwhile, a third user described how she'd have approached it with: "'We're Soulmates!' ..
. Me: Or we're cousins!..
.. can we get a DNA test done before we go any further? Haha.
