Love Is Blind Couple Talk ADHD and Life in Guernsey

Love Is Blind Couple Talk ADHD and Life in Guernsey

A couple who appeared on a reality dating show have described their "amazing" life in Guernsey, a year after they first met on the programme.

Jack Bradshaw, 30, and Faye Domaille, 28, appeared in series three of Netflix's Love is Blind: UK, and have stayed together despite the show's low success rate.

The show's format has singles dating in pods while separated by a wall. They only see each other after getting engaged, then must navigate a honeymoon, moving in together, meeting families, and a legally binding wedding.

During the show, psychologists helped Bradshaw come to terms with his ADHD. The couple have since moved in with Domaille's parents in St Saviour.

Bradshaw, from Cornwall, said life has been "brilliant" and Guernsey "feels like home".

"Cornwall will always be my home but there's something about Guernsey – it's been amazing," he told BBC Radio Guernsey.

"There's similar seaside, countryside vibes, but everything here is so close together."

He said: "I've started playing for Sylvan's football club, and Faye's parents have been so welcoming.

"I've adjusted to island life so well, and now it just feels like home."

Domaille had lived in London for five years before appearing on the show, and said moving back to Guernsey "was not the plan".

"I was really keen to get back to London, but we decided to go travelling and use up all our savings, which was insane, although I have no regrets."

The couple said they have grown most in understanding Bradshaw's ADHD diagnosis.

A psychologist on the show said Bradshaw exhibited the traits of someone with the condition.

"I spent my entire life refusing to admit that I had ADHD," he said.

"But, since I met Faye and starting having conversations about it, it has given me such clarity as to why I do certain things and why my brain works in a different way."

Bradshaw said he has been "overwhelmed" by the number of people sending him positive messages about his story.

"People have said their children love themselves a little bit more after seeing me the TV, which I never imagined, so that's something I would like to talk about and build a community around."
