Meet Demola Ayilara from Love Is Blind UK
As the second season of Love Is Blind UK gets under way, viewers have been hooked on seeing the contestants getting to know each other and forming couples after spending time together – or rather, apart – in the famous Pods. Emma and Matt Willis return to host Netflix's modern dating experiment, which tests if an emotional bond can trump a physical connection.
Some of this year's singletons include millionaire entrepreneur Kieran Holmes-Darby, medical company owner Sarover Aujla and human design coach Patrick Justus. Joining them to look for love is Demola Ayilara. Here's everything to know about him…

Demola is a financial analyst. When he's not doing maths, he's into martial arts. Being a jiu-jitsu blue belt, he has taken part in competitions.
You can find Demola at @demolaayilara14 where he shares photos of his travels, martial arts accomplishments and his beloved mum.
A true romantic, marriage-minded Demola – who has been single for two years – wants to settle down and commit to someone. He has thought about his wedding day, dreaming about the details, from a young age. His most recent relationship ended after eight years because he didn't feel comfortable being vulnerable with her.
'I'm a sucker for love. I want Love Is Blind to sort me out and do me a solid,' he says. After two years unattached, Demola, who wears his heart on his sleeve, believes connecting with someone in the Pods is his best shot at dating on a deeper level. A family-minded man, he's looking for someone special that he can share his life with, and is hoping for a long-lasting love like his parents, who have been together for decades.
