Love is Blind couple on ADHD and life in Guernsey

A couple who appeared in a reality dating show have told of their "amazing" life in Guernsey one year after they first met on the show.

Jack Bradshaw, 30, and Faye Domaille, 28, featured in series three of Netflix's Love is Blind: UK, and have remained together despite the show's low success rate .

The format sees singles date each other in pods but they are separated by a wall. They can only see one another after they get engaged, and then have to navigate a honeymoon, moving in together, meeting families, and a legally binding wedding.

During the show psychologists helped Bradshaw come to terms with having ADHD. The pair have since moved in with Domaille's parents in St Saviour.

Bradshaw, from Cornwall, said life had been "brilliant" and Guernsey "feels like home".

"Cornwall will always be my home but there's something about Guernsey - it's been amazing," he told BBC Radio Guernsey.

"There's similar seaside, countryside vibes, but everything here is so close together."

He said: "I've started playing for Sylvan's football club, and Faye's parents have been so welcoming.

"I've adjusted to island life so well, and now it just feels like home."

Domaille had been based in London for five years before she featured on the show, and said moving home to Guernsey "was not the plan".

"I was really keen to get back to London, but we decided to go travelling and use up all our savings, which was insane, although I have no regrets."

One area the couple said they had grown the most was in understanding Bradshaw's ADHD diagnosis .

A psychologist on the show said Bradshaw exhibited the traits of someone with the condition.

"I spent my entire life refusing to admit that I had ADHD," he said.

"But, since I met Faye and starting having conversations about it, it has given me such clarity as to why I do certain things and why my brain works in a different way."

Bradshaw said he had been "overwhelmed" by the number of people sending him positive messages about his story.

"People have said their children love themselves a little bit more after seeing me the TV, which I never imagined, so that's something I would like to talk about and build a community around."

Domaille said: "The biggest thing is just being patient with each other, and I see Jack's ADHD as a superpower.

"He is the funniest person I've ever met and we are genuinely in fits of laughter almost 100% of the time."

She said life has been a rollercoaster, but that she "loves researching" ADHD.

"When he does something, I'll be confused; but will then search it online and realise it's something common for someone with ADHD to do, and then it makes sense."

Domaille went on to say the hardest part of the Love Is Blind "experiment" was being thrown back "into the real world" without the show's welfare team and financial support.

"Sometimes some of the toughest parts in the experiment are when you have to have genuine conversations about where you're going to live and what kind of jobs you're going to have.

"We're very fortunate in our season everyone's still together, but that's not the same for a lot of the seasons in the US and the UK.

"People often don't make it through that year and it really highlights what marriage is actually really about, and it's not always sunshine and roses."
