I was on Love Is Blind UK and even got engaged on Netflix show - but here's why you'll NEVER see my romance on screens
A Love Is Blind UK star revealed that they got engaged on the popular Netflix show - however, viewers won't get the chance to witness their connection unfold on screen. The reality dating show returned last week with 15 men and 15 women entering the pods in a bid to find love and get engaged, all before meeting their match in person. Once engaged, the couples then jet off on romantic getaways together, live with one another, and even meet each others' loved ones. However, with so many connections forming, not everyone gets the chance to make it past the initial stages, even if they put a ring on it. During a Love Is Blind season, typically only up to five couples are followed past the early stages. And unfortunately for Ross Millington, 30, he was one of the unlucky ones who were halted from continuing the process. The reality dating show returned last week with 15 men and 15 women entering the pods in a bid to find love and get engaged, all before meeting their match in person After the first episode of the latest series aired, one fan on TikTok discussed Ross' brief appearance on the show. Ross was rarely seen in the pods; however, he was shown chatting with the other male contestants in the men's lounge as he went through the process. Ross, who owned a barber shop at the time the series was being filmed, jumped in on one fan's TikTok video - where they were asking more about him - to clear up why he only appeared on the show briefly. As she pointed him out, Ross noted: 'That was me, I didn't make it to Greece unfortunately. Reveal went well though.' Ross chose not to elaborate any further, but it is safe to assume he got engaged to his match as they made it through to the reveal stage. The comment was later posted on Reddit, and fans of the Netflix show shared their thoughts on producers not airing Ross's connection on TV. One joked: 'Good thing he didn't make it to Greece, as they went to Cyprus.'; 'I counted 2 guys and 2 gals during the "I'm engaged" scenes that had zero screen time.'; And unfortunately for Ross, he was one of the unlucky ones who were halted from continuing the process, as he revealed that he didn't make it to Greece, but his reveal 'went well' 'They are still around during those moments, and I would assume they may have ended up as a couple but were not picked to go to Cyprus.' 'Makes you wonder if their connection was boring/lack of drama to not be picked over Javen and Katisha...' 'I've never understood why they pick some and not the others and then don't edit it down more in post production if necessary.'

Kneecap rapper faces month-long wait over whether terror charge is thrown out
A member of rap trio Kneecap faces a month-long wait to find out whether his terrorism charge will be thrown out. Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was once again greeted by hundreds of fans as he arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday for a three-hour hearing. Advertisement Prosecutors allege the 27-year-old displayed a flag in support of proscribed terror organisation Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, in November last year. During Wednesday's hearing, his defence team argued the case should be thrown out, citing a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought. Brenda Campbell KC told the court the Attorney General had not given permission for the case to be brought against the defendant when police informed him he was to face a terror charge on May 21st. She said consent was given the following day, but that meant the charge falls outside of the six-month time frame in which criminal charges against a defendant can be brought. Advertisement Prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said permission was not required until the defendant's first court appearance and that permission did not need to be sought in order to bring a criminal charge. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring adjourned the case until September 26th, when he will rule on whether he has the jurisdiction to try the case. Kneecap's Liam Og O hAnnaidh leaves Westminster Magistrates' Court (Jordan Pettitt/PA) Hundreds of Kneecap supporters waving flags and holding banners greeted O hAnnaidh as he arrived at court alongside fellow bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh. Demonstrations in support of the rapper were organised outside the court building in London, as well as in Dublin. Advertisement The Metropolitan Police imposed conditions limiting where the demonstration outside the court could take place, saying they were needed to 'prevent serious disruption'. A man was detained by police outside the court building because of a placard he was holding following the hearing. Surrounded by officers, he told reporters his hand-made sign made no reference to any proscribed organisations. O hAnnaidh was swamped by photographers as he arrived, with security officers taking more than a minute to usher him into the court building. Advertisement Supporters of Kneecap's Liam Og O hAnnaidh outside Westminster Magistrates' Court (Ben Whitley/PA) Supporters greeted the Kneecap rapper with cheers as he made his way from a silver people carrier to the building. Fans held signs which read 'Free Mo Chara' while others waved Palestine and Irish flags before the rapper's arrival at court. Chants of 'Free, free, Mo Chara' could also be heard over a megaphone, which was repeated by the crowd. Mr O Caireallain and Mr O Dochartaigh sat at the back of the courtroom with three others as O hAnnaidh confirmed his name, date of birth and address to the court at the start of the hearing. Advertisement In response to the Met imposing conditions on the protest, Kneecap described the move as a 'calculated political decision' that was 'designed to try and portray support for Kneecap as somehow troublesome'. Supporters of Kneecap's Liam Og O hAnnaidh gathered outside the court (Jordan Pettitt/PA) The court previously heard the 27-year-old defendant is 'well within his rights' to voice his opinions on the Israel-Palestine conflict, but the alleged incident at the O2 Forum was a 'wholly different thing'. O hAnnaidh, of Belfast, is yet to enter a plea to the charge and is on unconditional bail.
