“Undeniable connection”— Love is Blind UK Natasha doesn’t think her and Tom’s “story ends” on the Netflix show

Love Is Blind UK aired its first season on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, with four new episodes. Netflix's wildly popular series saw 30 participants seeking a life partner through this experiment where no one can see each other. They must form a genuine emotional connection and prove to the world that love is indeed blind.

In the show, Natasha was able to connect with Tom, who failed to reciprocate her feelings towards him as he was hoping for a future with Maria. Tom expressed that he didn't want to jump the gun and didn't feel anything more than friendship between the two.

Natasha, devastated by Tom's confession, tearfully suggested that she understood where Tom was coming from but couldn't deny the connection that had formed between them by that point.

"It's hard to talk about because I understand where he's coming from in terms of logic. But there's, like, this undeniable connection that I can't explain."

Natasha went on to express that talking to Tom made her feel like she has never felt before and believes they are bound to run into each other in the future.

"I just don't think, like, our story ends here, but... I hope you're just happy..."

Having lost five stones recently, Natasha admitted that people just saw her as a "skinny blonde girl" or a trophy wife.

"I don't even know if it's, like, if it's aromantic love or not... The thing that I've worked really hard to do is kind of make sure that my sexual compatibility with someone is the same as my emotional connection with them. So it makes me feel really scared with you that I'm not feeling that part of it."

The two said their goodbyes tearfully and Natasha packed her bags and left the pods of Love Is Blind UK. Tom and Maria got engaged by the end of the first batch of the episodes and flew to Corfu, Greece with the rest of the couples.
