amen amen amen amen so how are you guys I'm really good man yes thanks for coming in thanks for coming in thanks for having us yes and I love is blind UK is a social experiments where British singles look for love and get engaged before meeting in person yeah yeah which is crazy to me see that's what we thought before we had watched it we were approached about the UK version and we were like hold on a minute we heard of the show because we knew it felt like everybody we knew watched it so we were like on paper this sounds Bonkers like you can't propose to someone after two weeks and never laid eyes on them yeah and then we watched it and we watched one episode and then we watched two and then we watched three watch the whole series and we were hooked and we were like oh this this can work it can work so if it can work why not do it now what can we expect in the UK series I think if you're a fan of the show you get Love is Blind you know but you get a very rsh version of it he saying more believable very much the Yankees ex exactly it feel it feels very real it feels very real got a very British sense of humor it's less kind of bations of love very slightly awkward British ones yeah I hadn't really realized it before but British people's love language is taking the mick out of each other so banter is like a big part of British like love language and that's what you see just see really I think Americans must have SP do they like each other out each other but I love that very self-deprecating as well and it's part of communication that you need to understand your your partner's banter really to be in the jokes absolutely yeah now you were there from the beginning um did you predict who would be of Who Matt tried I made lots of predictions I matched everyone up in my head and write them down the piece of paper I got zero right no no one that's what's I think quite fascinating so yeah essentially it's an experiment on on what your Vibe is with somebody and the connection that you have without visually actually seeing them were they nervous from the jump were they nervous some of them were nervous some of them were really excited I feel like everyone on the show is ready for love you know like I think they're kind of sick of like what we kept hearing was people are just sick of the dating game right they're sick of apps they're sick of like doing this swiping culture that they've got thems into and they want to find love and they want to settle down and you see that and you root for them you're like come on find it yeah and they do and you watch these people fall in love and it's really sweet some of them are torn between two people oh and you're like you just don't know you know you know what one person's saying to the boys or the girls and you know what the other one's doing and you're like which way are they going to go why should they go that way will they make the right decision we know what the right decision is because surely only they do so yeah you do scream at the Telly a little bit interes you laugh a lot okay fair fair and also had a few tears oh of course of course it can be emotional as well I'm sure yeah man it's for real I would say it would be hard because it's something new and you might try and bend the rules a little bit or do you know what I mean like cuz I think it's crazy yeah yeah yeah I mean when we can't do it and I listen I I get the personality thing I get it I get it but I need to know I need I need to know there's enough bom for for me what are your favorite moments from the show my favorite moments are when they see each other for the first time okay that yeah that's really telling because you want to know you want to know what you're getting involved with right um lots lots of the people on the show don't they're more than happy to go with the experiment and what it is there are obviously a few that it affects when they see each other but you can see it wow and then that's when you kind of go is this going to work or not sure but then once they live together it flips again I also find that meeting the families meeting friends and families big deal that's a big deal it can be a deal breaker sometimes very true to be honest what does what do your parents think of this guy you know what do your what do your friends think of this yeah because obviously there's different worlds and different cultures and everything abely you know there there's a lot of in this bubble right this literally a room bubble a love Bubble for two weeks and then they go to the gorgeous place for another like week and they spend all this time together so you're you're in it right and you're falling in love rapidly and you're going through this process true but then you get back to real life yes and then your family and friends meet this person oh my God and they either go wow you've picked well or why can't you see what we're seeing so again it flips on its head it's constantly moving oh my god let's take things back now Emma a question for you go on you actually interviewed Matt before you started dating oh yeah is this correct y I worked to MTV and the boys would kind of come on every now and then and we would have to interview them I have some questions what were your initial thoughts of Matt the first time I ever be honest honest yeah um I was his bridesmaid uh on a TV show oh we had a fake wedding right crash the wedding was out at the time they came on the show okay and um we we did a a wedding for them and Matt was the the band member getting married to a fan I was the bridesmaid oh um that's the first time I ever met him he doesn't remember this but we did pass each other like offset and I thought to myself underneath all that makeup he's really cute oh look at his face light yes yes and I had is that true I was like 1920 with horrendous acne so I was like cover that up brother oh I see I like a face full of makeup and she still thought you were cute and she still thought I was cute I love liner on everything eyeliner purple hair crazy the whole emo phase was properly flowing at the time and what were your initial thoughts of uh Emma I watched um TRL and I knew exactly who that hot girl from MTV was yeah and back in the day with all due respect um like Emma Willis back in the day like yeah BOS yeah yeah yeah I was like talking top tier we're talking top tier in the UK Top tier yeah I was always impressed now um my question as well is what is it like working with each other it's great I love it you seem shocked I genuinely love it I spend my life with boys in a on a bus you know so like this is much better this week yeah like we we're both really busy and we we're very busy doing our own thing and and then that's like work life and then you've got home life as well which also keeps you really busy sure sure and to actually work together we like oh oh we're going to Sweden to film Love is Blind for a little bit crazy few days away without kid and then we go to the retreats somewhere it's lovely it's nice it's the best really nice it feels like a day date or a weekend date even though it's work that's lovely so it's good yeah beautiful how long have youve been married 16 16 years 16 years yeah what's the secret to a longlasting relationship and a marriage from your eyes who knows I mean I don't know man I'm hanging on for dear life yeah I'm still surprised I'm [Applause] here yeah so is is it important for for date time still and things like that they're really important and theyve and they've become more important to us I think time together as a couple is really important because once you have kids you become it becomes very much all about them our little one is is eight so she's still quite little the youngest is eight yeah but we've got two um teenagers now so they're you know they they're pretty like they want to do their own thing and and that kind of parent guilt of oh no no let's just stay in with the kids we shouldn't let's not go out and go to the cinema or go and get some food or it's like let's let's stay with them and be with them for them but now two of them don't really want to be around us anyway so we're like oh okay so we're getting to that point so we kind of giving ourselves a bit more time which is really nice actually beautiful beautiful I'm want to get into a quick fry round please oh okay yep yep uh this way we're going to trip up set up a couples so who's most likely to wake up for first me oh really every time yeah so you sleep in more well we don't sleep in because we got kids and school fair but Matt will always get up first and if there is the opportunity to have a lion he will let me have it does she snore no she purs occasionally yeah she purs a little bit apparently I've just started having the occasional snore really I wouldn't say it's a snore it's not like it's not like a full a pur what's a Pur it's that one of those it's that one of those little nasal just like that and I think it's cuz recently taught myself to sleep on my back okay cuz I was getting like a bit of a dodgy neck and shoulder fair fair fair so I've taught myself to sleep on my back and I think maybe that's my excuse I love that all who's most likely to fall asleep during a movie me Emma oh yeah very much 100% really yeah get me cozy on a couch and I'm out I can't bear it I could I could never fall fall asleep during a movie okay you always want to watch make sure start to finish okay fair fair fair fair okay um who's the first to apologize after an argument me oh yeah me I think we're both we're both pretty good at that you know we're both pretty good I think we're at Point what the arguments about fair I think arguments are much more about kind of like trying to find out the other person's perspective rather than it's not about throwing insults anymore or anything like that like it's about it's about wanting to find a resolution I love that this I'm loving this maybe this is going back to like you know the secrets to a a a marriage 100% are you going to bed like without saying sorry or no I hold the anxiety of it and I stress about it and worry about it and we don't really argue we'll kind of bicker a little bit maybe of course but or or get annoyed at each other for one thing or another but I I I like a a resolution I don't like to feel stress or anxious about anything she got good I don't think you do either exactly you know what do you want to be do you want to be do you want it to be good or do you want to be right right I
