Emma and Matt Willis 'QUIT Love Is Blind UK' - with replacement host drafted in for new Netflix series hitting screens next month
Emma and Matt Willis have reportedly quit Love Is Blind UK and a replacement host has been drafted in.
The hit dating show was previously hosted by married couple Matt and Emma, and sees singles hoping to bag themselves a partner in a non-conventional way.
However, according to The Sun, the pair have taken a step back for the upcoming second series set to hit screens next month.
TikToker Sarel, who posts regularly on the social media platform, will be reportedly stepping in instead.
An insider told the publication: 'Matt and Emma loved doing it but they're so so busy - they couldn't make their schedules work. Sarel is huge on TikTok and will be really popular with listeners.'
MailOnline has approached Netflix and representatives for Matt and Emma for comment.

It comes after a return date for Love Is Blind UK was revealed by Netflix last week with a first look at series two.
During the social experiment style programme, singletons interact with one another only through their voices in special Pods, before choosing someone to move in with and eventually marry.
The couples will then find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.
Netflix has now confirmed that season two of Love Is Blind UK will launch on August 13, with ten episodes released over three weeks.
The streaming platform has shared a teaser trailer for the new instalment, giving fans a sneak peak of what's in store.
It looks as though there's plenty of drama coming up, with one man saying, 'I don't find it difficult to date multiple women. That's just a part of the game'.
A woman can also be heard commenting, 'That's really disrespectful, I'm not your plan B'.
Photographs from the new season has also been released and one features what appears to be an engagement ring.
Another shows a man with his hand against a wall, looking down, in one of the Pods.
The first season's reunion in 2024 was packed with shocking moments and saw four couples revealing they had gone their separate ways, while another shared their plans to start a family.
Hosts Matt and Emma welcomed back the newlyweds, who walked down the aisle after meeting sight unseen almost a year ago.
While some of the participants were delighted to be back and more loved up than ever, others had scores to settle.
After MailOnline exclusively revealed Sabrina and Steven had split, the former married couple furiously hammered out their differences in a very tense exchange in front of the studio audience.
After struggling of months living long distance Sabrina fumed: 'I was trying to do everything I could to make the relationship work and I just feel like you made zero accommodations in your life for me or our relationship'.

However Steve later hit claiming her story was 'full of contradictions' despite him admitting he'd 'let the team down' after only visiting her in Dublin twice.
Livid, he snapped: 'A lot of things you are saying are not facts. I don't recognise you'.
Meanwhile on the other end of the spectrum, Jasmine and Bobby revealed the last 12-months had been 'the happiest of their lives'.
