Sam reveals the brutal unaired reason behind his split with Nicole on Love Is Blind UK

Despite Sam proposing to Nicole, the pair soon decided to call off their Love Is Blind UK relationship, leading Nicole to reconnect and get married to Benaiah instead.

The pair split up off camera and we weren’t sure what exactly had gone down between Sam and Nicole that had led to the end of the Love Is Blind UK engagement. However, in an interview with The Sun, Sam explained exactly what happened between them that resulted in their split.

He revealed: “We went home [after the pods] and we spent two days together. We had a cheeky Nando’s, she spoke to my parents on the phone, and I was like, ‘Dad, look, you know, this is bizarre, but I guess I’ve got a fiancée!’ I spoke to her sister on the phone, we were all FaceTiming. We went out for dinner with other cast members from the show, we had a great time… but there was no chemistry there. It was more like friends.”

He added that he felt going back into the real world so quickly after the pods might have ruined their relationship. He explained: “We’d kind of been thrown back into the real world, which is very different to being on the experiment. You’re out of the bubble, and you’ve got a fiancé that you’ve known for two weeks, and you’ve not really got the structure of the actual experiment, because you’re just like, left on your own by this point.

“Like, what do you do? Is she a girlfriend? Is she a fiance? Do you take the ring back and then just say, let’s try dating? We didn’t know what to do, really. I guess no one would know what to do in that situation because it’s so bizarre. So we decided to ease off. We’re not going to call it an engagement, but we’re just going to naturally spend two days together and just enjoy each other’s company.

“It was just normal, like a friend staying, but there was no sexual chemistry, unfortunately. By the end of the two days, we decided to go our separate ways, and she left.”

Once Nicole reconnected with Benaiah, Sam admitted he felt “blindsided” by her decision, as the pair had completely cut contact with each other. He said: “I kind of reached out to make sure she was okay over the next few days, but I didn’t hear anything back.

“I wasn’t getting any responses to the phone calls or the messages I was sending her, and I was a little bit worried, because obviously, you know, I care about her. I still care about her emotions and feelings. Eventually I got a call a few days later to say that her and Benaiah had been in contact, and they’ve now been flown off to Corfu to continue the experiment together.”

He continued: “It was a hard pill to swallow, but at the same time, I was happy for them, because at the end of the day, it didn’t work between us. We had a fair shot at it. You know, that’s all it was. We’d had a fair crack and it didn’t work.”
