Where is Love Is Blind series 5 filmed?

Series five has been filmed in Houston, USA, with this year's singletons attempting to fall in love in the pods, before getting engaged and eventually married.

Are Nick and Vanessa Lachey still hosting Love Is Blind?

The fifth series will once again be hosted by married couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey, despite over 21,000 people signing a petition to have them removed, with many accusing them of focussing "attention at themselves and their personal lives rather than focusing on the contestants."

Although this year's singletons haven't yet been revealed, host Nick spoke about the success of the show at this year's Tudum: A Global Fan Event.

He said: “What's incredible is that this love experiment has been working all around the world."
