Would you get engaged to someone you’ve never seen IRL before? It might seem like a crazy idea, but this is exactly the premise of Love Is Blind, which has landed back on our screens for a second series.
The show, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, follows 30 singletons as they get to know each other soundproof pods, interacting just by conversation. It’s only when a couple gets engaged in the pod that they meet on their honeymoon – and finally come face to face. The couples then navigate life in the real word together – which is where the real drama starts to unfold. From there, it’s a matter of time who will make it to the wedding.
For season two, we’ve already seen a stellar line up of singletons ready to find their chance at true love, including Sophie, Ashleigh and Singer. One other singleton looking to make an impact is Yolanda – who has a very famous cousin.
Who is Yolanda from Love Is Blind?
Yolanda is a Specialist occupational therapist and a contestant on Love Is Blind. She is from Hampshire and is a self-confessed adrenaline junkie who enjoys sky diving and bungee jumping.
Netflix says 'Yolanda is known as ‘a “ride or die” by friends and family, spending her days and nights looking after the people she loves the most.’
How old is Yolanda from Love Is Blind?
Yolanda is 26, making her the youngest single on the show. However, according to Netflix she considers herself to be ‘wise beyond her years.’

It turns out Yolanda already has some reality TV links. Her cousin is Mimii Ngulube - whose real name is Michelle – who won Love Island last year alongside Josh Oyinsan. In fact, Yolanda even appeared on Aftersun to support her and discussed the moment Josh snogged Grace in one of the challenges.
The pair have also starred alongside each other in a Boots Christmas campaign. A caption for the video read: ‘Join Mimii and her cousin Yolanda as they pick out some of the best beauty and fragrance gifts from Boots this Christmas.’
