Love Is Blind UK star leaves viewers ‘feeling physically sick' as he details his VERY unique job
LOVE Is Blind UK is back - and one star has caught the attention of fans thanks to his unique life path. As the Netflix pods opened for 30 new singletons to try their luck at finding someone to marry, one star's unique job got people talking. 4 4 While introducing himself to singer Aanu, Patrick Justus revealed that he was a human design coach. Explaining it was "like a lifecoach but using a system called spiritual design', Patrick's biggest mantra in life was to "trust your spleen", noting that "splenic energy" was a bigger force than a gut instinct. Speaking in the pods to potential match Yolanda, Patrick said that he follows his spleen "literally to the second", later adding: "Listening to my spleen is the best way to find the love of his life." While it didn't win over Yolanda or another hopeful, Catherine, the idea intrigued singer Aanu, who sparked a connection with him. But viewers were left baffled by his continued discussion of his spleen in conversation – with some left turned off by the chat, despite finding Patrick charming, saying it made them feel ill. "I loveee Patrick, do you know how nice you have to be for me to ignore the fact you keep mentioning your spleen??" wrote one on X (formerly Twitter). "Please the word 'spleen' is just making me cringe and feel physically sick. How many times are we going to have to hear this nonsense" said a second. "This bloke and his damn SPLEEN, his spleen should have told him to stay home," said a third. While a fourth noted: "The moment that guy talked about following his spleen, I would have been out of there." Despite the spleen talk, Patrick and Aanu did hit it off on the show - at least to begin with. However, the pair hit a wall when Aanu admitted that she puts a lot of weight into what her mum thinks, crediting her for helping her make decisions. Love Is Blind UK: Meet the Season 2 contestants looking to find love in 2025 The comment was received badly by Patrick, who said that his "spleen was silent" and that their connected had "dipped", with her telling Aanu that she needs to learn to follow her own instincts. From that point on, they struggle to get back on track – and when Aanu decides to open up to him by writing a song for him, he ends things before she can perform it. "I don't want you to give a song to someone who is undeserving of that song," he told her. "I've enjoyed thoroughly talking to you and going through this experience with you, but I have to follow my spleen." Love Is Blind UK new episodes drop Wednesday on Netflix. 4 4

Channel Seven star blasts the cream of Australian television talent for being unbelievably arrogant and incredibly egotistical after partying with them for one night
star Brian Taylor has raised eyebrows after blasting the 'arrogance' of Aussie TV stars who attended the Logies recently in Sydney. Speaking on his Life of Brian podcast, the footy commentator didn't name any entertainment identities as he 'didn't want to embarrass anyone' - but Taylor is unlikely to be invited to the red carpet event in 2026 and beyond following his vicious rant. A polarising character himself, Taylor felt some A-listers were 'caught up in the moment' before labelling some aspects of the gala evening a 'zoo.' 'I wouldn't say the Logies is everyone's choice of event — I think a lot of people try and avoid events like this,' Taylor said. 'I go, not because we (Channel Seven) are going to win anything because we never win anything and we probably should. 'I go to observe people and see how they are acting. It's fascinating to see it up close. Speaking on his Life of Brian podcast, the footy commentator didn't mince his words, also stating he couldn't believe how much some stars relished the red carpet 'The actors, they are so caught up in the moment. Arrogance is easy to find. It is (just) unbelievable. 'I'm not going to give any examples because I don't want to embarrass anyone. (But) the way they walk around and strut around. 'I thought we as sports people (were egotistical), but not in comparison to these guys. '(On the red carpet) it is a zoo... the women just love it, they can't get enough of it. You've got to see it to believe it.' Taylor, who attended the ritzy event at The Star with colleagues Kane Cornes and Abbey Holmes, was impressed by host Sam Pang. He gave Pang '10 out of 10' when it came to MC duties. Cornes labelled the Logies - where he presented an award on stage with Channel 10's Tara Rushton - a 'different experience.' 'I felt under-dressed compared to everyone else and have never been more out of my comfort zone,' he said on SEN. 'I wanted a selfie with Alf (Ray Meagher from Home and Away) but I wasn't brave enough in the end. 'It was a good night, we had a great table.'
