He even confesses to messaging Katie years ago in a bid to strike up a romance, but he was ignored until he caught the TV star's eye when she watched on the Channel 4 show.

JJ said: 'It wasn't something I was looking for... I had been on Married At First Sight UK, which was a stressful and intense experience but with Kate and I... it just happened super naturally.
'We met for coffee and met as friends, and we got on really well as friends and it developed from there, which was really nice. There was no pressure, we both just really fancied and liked each other.
'Kate actually reached out when she heard about my diabetes diagnosis saying she was really sorry to hear this and again, this is how something good has come from it... is Kate. She was being kind, which I appreciated and then it went from there…
'Of course, she is obviously a very, very attractive lady and I do fancy her, she's my girlfriend now… but I have always thought she was fit.'
