Love Is Blind UK fans slam furious rant by star in very public display
A Love Is Blind UK star released a furious rant towards an ex in an explosive row during a reunion party.
Today (August 20) saw the next four episodes of the brand new Love Is Blind UK released on Netflix where the newly engaged couples began to navigate their new lives together. But with that, comes more hurdles and obstacles as they live with one another and meet each other's loved ones.
As well as tensions rising between the couples, this week also saw a reunion party with the fellow Love Is Blind cast, but it ended in an explosive row. Last week saw human design coach Patrick being guided by his 'spleen' as he decided against proposing to professional singer Aanu.
But when the pair came face to face in this week's episodes, Aanu was far from impressed. She said: " I'm quite, what you see is what you get, which I feel like I've not had the same gratitude from you."
Apologising for "ruining her experience", Aanu interrupted Patrick as she continued: "You took the experience away from me Patrick. You reassured me so much with your words."
She went on to say: "It's let me know then and there. You didn't let me know then and there... You're a liar, you're a liar, you're a liar."
Things soon turned sour as Patrick said: "There is no way that me and you were meant to be together..... At the end I basically had to make a decision." But Aanu interrupted, saying: "Your head scarf looks silly as well, it doesn't match your outfit... Why have you got a head scarf on anyway?"
Branding the comment as "crazy", Patrick replied: "I thought it would be a good look for me."
Aanu eventually stormed away from the conversation, as she stated: "Good luck with your splenic rectum." And fans have been unimpressed with the altercation.
Over on Reddit, one user said "Aanu did not Carry herself Well.. that was embarrassing. For her. So uncontrolled." Another said they were "embarrassed", adding: "Yeah she was messy both in the Javen interactions and how hard she went in on Patrick. Embarrassed for her."
A third commented: "I'm not done with the episode yet but 'my spinal rectum' made me spit out my water." One fan was left "crying" as they said: "I think his spleen is being burst a bit here crying."
On X, one fan said: "'Good luck with your splenic rectum' IM F***** SCREAMING." As another replied: "Aanu", coupled with a line of laughing emojis.
A third penned: "I get Aanu was feeling annoyed about how her situation with Patrick ended but she just started acting immature and not letting him talk + making silly jabs .. it was a bit weird."

Netflix Hostage: Full cast list and how to watch the series
The series takes place against the backdrop of a state visit from French Prime Minister Vivienne Toussaint (Julie Delpy). British Prime Minister Abigail Dalton (Jones) is keen to smooth over any simmering tensions between the two countries, but then disaster strikes. The Radio Times adds: "When her husband is kidnapped, though, and Toussaint herself is embroiled in a blackmailing plot, the pair must figure out whether they can trust each other enough to work together to protect those closest to them." The new series comes from Bridge of Spies screenwriter Matt Charman, with Jones serving as an executive producer. Speaking about how the show came to be, Jones told the Radio Times: "Me and Matt Charman, the writer, have known each other for a long time. "We always wanted to do a project together, and I suddenly got an urge to do a political drama. I've always loved shows that take the viewer into the halls of power. "Matt had done Bridge of Spies and Treason, so I knew that he was the person to go to. We bounced ideas back and forth and then we came up with this idea of me as the prime minister.' Kidnap. Blackmail. Unimaginable choices.

Teachers' reactions to Adolescence show ‘real problem' with schooling
The four-part series explores misogyny among teenage boys and prompted a national conversation about online safety when it was released in March. Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Thorne said: 'I worked in a school, (executive producer) Hannah (Walters) spent a long time in schools, and we both had a real passion to talk about schools that aren't doing so well. 'And it was so interesting the response, because there was teachers going, 'That would never happen in schools', and then other teachers going, 'You've got that spot on'. 'And what that showed is, we've got a real problem in our country, because there's a certain level of schooling which is complacent about the schools that we're allowing to sink.' One of the episodes in the series is filmed in a school and shows Ashley Walters' character, DI Luke Bascombe, interviewing children who are friendly with 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who has been accused of murdering his school friend. Also in the session, Netflix executive Mona Qureshi, responded to Channel 4 news boss Louisa Compton accusing the streamer of behaving like 'TV tourists' earlier at the TV festival. Compton also called the channel 'proud parents' of Adolescence because of the opportunities they had given Thorne and actor and co-creator Stephen Graham over the years, according to reports. 'I don't think I'm a tourist,' Qureshi said. 'Nothing about where I am and where we sit and the conversations we had about and around Adolescence at the beginning really came out of anything other than us.' Thorne said he 'started out' with Channel 4, adding: 'I'm really grateful for Channel 4, but I'm excited that Netflix is moving into this space.' In March, Thorne, 46, spoke to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street about the issues raised in the drama. This Is England star Graham co-created the drama with Thorne and starred as Eddie Miller, the father of Jamie. The series took months of preparation and rehearsals so that each episode could be filmed in one continuous shot, which was praised by viewers of the show. The show has received 13 Emmy nominations, including for its young star Cooper, for best supporting actor in a limited series.

Hostage: 'Playing the Prime Minister 'changes your perception' of politics' says Suranne Jones
Actress Suranne Jones has taken on the role of many women under immense pressure. In Doctor Foster she suspects her husband of having an affair, in Vigil she investigates a death on board a submarine, and in Gentleman Jack she develops a dangerous lesbian romance. But none of the roles are quite as pressured as her latest - playing a British prime minister whose husband is kidnapped. Hostage, Netflix's new political thriller, sees Jones' character, Abigail Dalton, build an uneasy alliance with French President Vivienne Toussaint - played by Julie Delpy - who is being blackmailed during a London two leaders work together in order to rescue the PM's husband, unmask the kidnapper and blackmailer, and bring those responsible to justice. 'Political with a small p' Given its themes of immigration, the funding of the NHS and public trust, audiences may be tempted to connect Hostage to today's headlines. But, both stars insist the show is less about mirroring today's politics and more about creating a thrilling story set in the political world. "We're entertaining and we're in the political world, but it's in no way a reflection of the world we live in," Jones tells the BBC."It's political with a small p - there's enough that roots us in the real world but the world is too complicated to link it directly and I think it would be inappropriate." Delpy agrees and says: "Things change every day. It's impossible to be in the political moment because tomorrow is something else."The show's writer, Matt Charman, explains that there are some connections to the real world as it's "impossible to write a show that exists in the climate we live in that doesn't end up feeling that it's in dialogue with it". "If you wrote a show that isn't connected to our world it would feel weird," he says, "but I hope the show does have the ability to exist in its own oxygen." It is rare to see two female world leaders sharing the spotlight in a political thriller, but, for Charman, making sure Dalton and Toussaint were women was integral to the way the series was conceived and it was both a creative and political choice. "What was exciting was the idea of women in power and how we explore that," he says, explaining that he tried to explore how each situation the characters face would be different for a woman. "There's a double standard for women, so giving full dramatic freedom to that was very important." Charman and Jones have shared an agent for the past 10 years and Hostage came about because Charman really wanted to work with Jones and the pair settled on creating a political thriller. Jones says she particularly enjoyed exploring "how these two women have to dance around each other"."A female politician is used to dealing with men so it's interesting to see how it plays out when it's two women." While viewers quickly learn about Jones' character - a loving wife and mother who is idealistic about bettering the country - Delpy's character is more drawn out and our opinion of her changes throughout the show."We made sure not to play into the female politician stereotypes," Delpy say. "What I like is that these women actually have some things in common like they both want change and came into office hopeful." The Guardian describe Hostage as "quite unusual" in that it doesn't remind you of any other political thrillers. "It's a little biting but it's not House of Cards cynical, it has a breakneck pace but it's not 24, the dialogue is sharp but never played for laughs," Zoe Williams writes. 'Cost of being in power' To play Dalton convincingly, Jones, who also served as an executive producer on the show, says she really immersed herself in the reality of political life. She visited the House of Commons, spoke to the Speaker of the House and devoured books, podcasts and documentaries. "I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to research," she admits. "I was fascinated by not emulating anyone but by understanding a life I knew nothing about. And it's the cost of being in a powerful position in that way that really struck me."Charman also talks about the extraordinary amount of research that went into creating the show. I ask him whether Dalton or Toussaint were inspired by any real life politicians and he confesses that they are, but he won't say who. "We interviewed a lot of people and Suranne had incredible access to people who had been prime minister who talked about their time in office and the pressure on their family. But it was all agreed that they would speak about this as long as it could remain confidential," he says. Jones won't say which politicians inspired her character but says all of her previous characters are a part of her and she has "a boardroom of personalities" which feed into who she plays. She says all the research into what it's like to be a politician "changes your perception for sure" and makes you realise "the cost of being in a powerful position". One question the show raises is whether or not it's possible for a politician today to stick to their ideals once they come into office and while Jones is unsure, Charman is an optimist. "I wanted to explore how there can be decent people in politics who are fundamentally good but get pushed around," he says. He adds that it's not "inevitable" that people give up their ideals once in office, but "it's definitely tough to keep your morals". Above the thrills and drama of Hostage, Charman says the show explores "what it takes to be a good person in a system that doesn't always reward good people."Delpy is slightly more pessimistic and explains that given "politicians have to be heard, if you're too reasonable you won't be listened to as there's so much noise of both extremes"."If you have a moderate view you get lost in the noise as people are only listening to the loudest."
