Love Is Blind UK star said they should take a DNA test following clues they could be related.

But fans have been begging one couple on the series to get a DNA test to find out if they’re related. Sparks have flown between Freddie from Bolton and dental nurse Cat but some viewers are worried they may be cousins.

One fan asked: “What do you think about the rumors that you and Cat could be cousins?”. Freddie replied: “They’re brilliant [laughing emoji] should have done a DNA test in the pods and given us the results at the reveal for extra excitement”.
The pair sparked the theory when they started to talk about their family lives. A clip on the show’s Instagram page shows the pair bonding while discussing their loved ones and surprised by how much they have in common.

Cat was gushing over Freddie, saying he was a charming man with a great sense of humour. But both were surprised by the fact they shared the same surname Powell.
The couple were slightly taken aback by this but carried on, only to find things getting more strange. The pair joked about their middle name, saying she was given the name Mary after her grandmother.

Freddie said his “nana” was also called Mary in another strange match-up for the couple, leading Cat to become emotional and wipe away her tears. Things only got weirder as they also realised their grandfathers were both called Bill, leaving the couple confused.
Freddie could not believe what he was hearing, adding that he “got goosebumps” at the strange situation. Watching the clip, many fans were desperate for the pair to find out if they were related.

One fan begged: “We’re Soulmates!… Me: Or we’re cousins!…. Can we get a DNA test done before we go any further?” A second user joked: “Can you please show the scene where it dawns on them that they’re cousins?”
Whilst a third also added: “Can’t wait for them to find out they’re actually first cousins at the reveal,” followed by a red heart emoji.
