Office worker Jade, 22, was picked out of 30 contestants by health and safety worker Lee from County Durham on last week’s episode.

The show’s catchphrase is ‘no likey, no lighty’, as contestants choose to keep their light on or off to show if they want to go on a date with the person.

She had been Lee’s initial first choice girl known on the show as ‘love at first light’.

The couple got to know each other better over champagne on a yacht before taking a dip in the sea together.

Jade told him she was surprised to have been selected and Lee joked he thought he was taking a chance because Jade ‘looks like trouble’.
