Love Is Blind star's brother shares brutal verdict on relationship as he asks awkward question
*Warning - This article contains spoilers for Love Is Blind UK season 2 episode 6*
The latest four episodes of Love Is Blind UK season 2 have dropped on Netflix, featuring the freshly-engaged couples back from their gorgeous Cyprus getaway. This new instalment sees the participants face fresh hurdles, including reclaiming their mobile phones, cohabiting for the first time, and finally introducing each other to their loved ones.
One duo that has split Netflix audiences down the middle are Wigan's Kal and Buckinghamshire medical business owner Sarover.
When Sarover journeys to meet Kal's relatives in Wigan for the first time, everything appears to go smoothly as she wins over his mum and nan.
But uncertainty creeps in after Kal's brother frankly delivers his assessment of the pair's prospects of remaining together, reports the Manchester Evening News.
He starts by questioning Kal: "So, brother to brother, would you actually marry her? Go all the way? Because I don't think you would, to be fair.
"I wouldn't have gone this far if I didn't think I could," Kal reflects. "I would have pulled the plug."
His brother then reveals: "All the time I've known you, I've never seen you ever really like, 'Oh yeah, I'm all in.'"
Kal responds: "She's such a genuine, thoughtful person. She's always thinking of things she can do for me."
His brother then says: "Do you think you could put her fully first? I think she could put you first, but you'd struggle with that aspect.
"Because I think for a relationship to work, each other's person has to be number one in their lives and then you both treat each other as a number one."
Kal concedes: "Yeah, that's a good point and I'd probably not even thought of that until now, to be fair."
Speaking directly to the camera, he adds: "I've very much put myself first in most of my life. I feel like I can put Sarover first. It's one thing saying it, but now I've got to be able to do it in practice."
His brother chimes in: "You've had a lot of girls, but never many long-term relationships. She's not your usual type either, is she?"
Kal then reveals that Sarover is aware of this and they have prioritised their emotional connection over a physical one.
In a private moment with the camera, Kal's brother confesses: "Do I think the relationship is going to last? If my life was on it, I'd say no.
"I know what Kal's like. He's difficult to please and he very much loves his own space. He's very routine and if anything disrupts that routine (i.e. a relationship or a girl, which they do, because it very much transforms your life and the way you live) it can negatively affect him.
"Then he'll be like, 'I don't want to be a part of this. Let's be done.'"
So, it seems like Kal hasn't been successful in putting his partner's needs first in past relationships. Will it be different with Sarover?
Love Is Blind UK season 2 episodes 1-8 are available to watch on Netflix now.

George Clarke breaks silence on new girlfriend as he signs up for Strictly Come Dancing
George Clarke openly admitted to being in a relationship for the first time in his showbiz career just hours before the YouTuber was revealed to be part of this year's Strictly line up George Clarke has revealed the reason why he confirmed his romance with lingerie model Yasmin Amelia just hours before he was announced as part of this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up. The 25-year-old YouTuber, who built a loyal following online with his sharp sense of humour, previously kept fans guessing when it came to his relationship status. Until now, Clarke has often joked about dating mishaps and dodged questions about his love life. But ahead of his glittering BBC ballroom debut, he decided to go public with a girlfriend for the first time. He explained his reasoning on the Useless Hotline Podcast, saying he wanted to take control of the story before speculation started. He shared: "That's part of the reason why we wanted to say something. Because the two options were, say something. You have full control over how it comes out. "Whatever you say is basically how people find out, or it stays private. [It] just sort of takes all the control out of your hands. But then, I [will] just go on stream after that and be like, that's not true, by the way. But, yeah, she's my girlfriend." Fans first spotted hints of his relationship during a livestream, and quickly figured out that his partner was Yasmin Amelia, also known as Yasmin Bennett, a model signed to J'adore Models with over 30,000 Instagram followers. Clarke himself boasts more than 686,000 followers and previously appeared on the Netflix reality show Inside. While many of his fans celebrated the news of his new romance, others were taken aback. One Reddit user wrote: "Caught me off guard because he is a very private person especially about his dating/love life. Even on the pod he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials." However, another wrote: "I heard about this on his stream, and I'm genuinely happy for him!" Clarke has also addressed speculation about the so-called Strictly Curse, which what fans call the phenomenon of many stars who join the show leaving their partners for someone they've met during the competition. He quickly dismissed the idea that his relationship could be at risk because of his upcoming time on Strictly, and insisted that he went public about his girlfriend because he wanted to be honest with his fans, rather than as a form of damage control. Clarke also accidentally dropped another interesting piece of information on the podcast, hinting at who he might be partnered with on the show. He revealed that he had already met professional dancer Lauren Oakley in rehearsals, saying: "I've not met anyone apart from, I believe her name's Lauren, who was the pro that I met. Because when we had an interview for it, so it's like an hour long interview, and then like an hour long dance session." Oakley, who joined the Strictly pro team in 2022, has previously competed with journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy and singer JB Gill. If Clarke's slip-up means what it seems to imply, she might be guiding the YouTube star through his first ballroom steps.

Love Is Blind UK Katisha's shock note and what it said as star storms off show
Love Is Blind UK's next batch of episodes have dropped showing the five new couples navigating their lives together *Warning: Contains spoilers for Love Is Blind UK Season 2* A Love Is Blind UK contestant has dramatically quit the programme after leaving a shocking message for her fiancé in a surprising turn of events. Love Is Blind UK season 2 witnessed the latest batch of episodes drop today (August 20) as the five fresh couples work through their new relationships together. Following extensive dating in the pods, the selected pairs chose to advance their romance to the next level and get engaged whilst planning their nuptials. However, pressure mounts for the couples as they encounter obstacles in their partnerships, reports the Mirror. This week, one participant has dramatically left the programme, leaving a single message for their other half. Devastating moments showed Scottish native Katisha and Javen battling with their communication, which followed Katisha's last minute choice to pick Javen, despite confessing a deeper bond with Demola in the pods. Yet Katisha broke down in tears on the programme following Javen's surprising choice this week. Previous moments featured a get-together with the couples and fellow cast members, before Javen seemed to be getting friendlier with singletons Sophie, Yolanda and Aanu. Javen chose to head back out with the group and left Katisha on her own at their accommodation. Subsequent scenes showed Megan confessing to Katisha that Javen had actually spent the majority of the night with the other three women, which left Katisha far from pleased. Megan revealed to Katisha: "I'm not going to lie, he went straight to Sophie. "He was chatting to Sophie a lot and then I watched them get into a photo booth..... I didn't see any photo." She continued: "It was the weirdest thing, he just kept laughing. He was just being like yeah, nothing, nothing. After that he moved on started talking to Yolanda, eventually started talking to Aanu." However, when Katisha confronted Javen, a row quickly erupted as she declared she was "going home." Left disappointed by his behaviour, Katisha was later overheard saying: "I have no desire to speak to Javen again, I've been in relationships like this before and I've trusted them and I've taken them back again and again and again. I didn't come here to make the same mistakes." Before departing the programme, Katisha penned a farewell note to Javen, placing it beside her engagement ring on the table for him to discover upon his return. The note read: "I truly wanted this to work, we are obviously more than our mistakes but I can't marry potential. I'm sorry, all the best Katisha." Upon discovering the message, Javen confronted Megan, demanding to know what had been said to Katisha before branding it "lies" as a heated row erupted. What lies ahead for Love Is Blind UK? Viewers must wait until August 27 when the concluding two episodes air.

Why teachers' reactions Adolescence reveal ‘problem with schooling'
The writer and co-creator of hit Netflix series Adolescence has revealed his concerns to teachers ' reactions to the show. Jack Thorne said teachers' responses to the show showed 'we've got a real problem in our country' when it comes to 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.
