Love Is Blind stars have confessed to knowing each other 10 years before taking part in the Netflix reality show.
Jessica Batten, 34, and Kelly Chase, 33, shot to fame after being on Netflix’s hugely popular programme which saw hopefuls testing to see if love really was blind.
The sizzling show saw the contestants even get engaged to people they’d never even seen in the flesh.
It turns out, however, that although love was indeed blind in the pods, some of the friendships were not.
Jessica revealed on a now-deleted social media post that she was friends with co-star Kelly, who turned down Kenny Barnes’ marriage at the alter, before doing the show.

She answered a fan question on her Instagram page, sharing the post with her 372,000 followers.
Jessica posted a snap alongside Kelly, where the now-blondes both had brown locks.
She wrote on the post: “I’ve known Kel for 10 years.”
It wasn’t just Jessica who exposed the truth, as Kelly also spilt the beans on her socials.

She revealed in a video: “Jessica and I actually met 10 or 11 years ago from an ex-boyfriend’s same social circle.”
That wasn’t the only Love Is Blind scandal, as contestant Mark Cuevas was accused of being in an off-screen relationship while filming the programme.
His romance with Jessica flourished as the episodes went by, before she turned him down at the altar.

Mark put rumours of his alleged other romance to bed as he said on the Be There in Five podcast: “I never had a girlfriend during – I had a girlfriend after the experience. I will say that.”
