The debut series of Love Is Blind UK has already had its fair share of drama and we’re only four episodes in. At the heart of it is Londoner Sam Klein, who was in the love triangle between Nicole and Benaiah, as well as nurse Jasmine - and uttered the unforgettable line, when asked what a book about his life would read like, 'It would be like the best book you'd ever read in your life'.
Ahead of the next batch of episodes dropping on Netflix on Wednesday 14 August, we take a look at Sam…
How old is Sam?
Sam is 31.
Where did he go to school?
Sam was privately educated. He went to Aldenham School, a private boarding school in Elstree before he went to Leeds Beckett University, where he studied broadcast media technologies, graduating in 2010.
What is Sam's job?
Sam works as a product design manager in London. His LinkedIn shows that he currently works for Radically Digital since October 2023. He stepped out for menswear designer Justin Cassin at London Fashion Week in June 2023. He also directed and edited for the London Lifestyle Awards in 2015. He calls himself ‘designer for life and actor’ in his Instagram bio. Sam believes his progression up the career ladder has come at a cost as it’s left little time for love.
What is his Instagram?
Sam’s Instagram handle is @sam_klein. He enjoys travelling and shares photos of his holidays and nights out with his over 8,700 followers. Recent trips include Dubai, Malta and Ibiza.
Has Sam had a nose job?
Sam opened up about his insecurities on the show, as he revealed he has had a nose job when he was 29, which has helped him to be more comfortable with his looks. ‘I did have a nose job. I’ve always been conscious of certain things. I never liked what I saw in the mirror, and I have done things to improve my appearance,’ he said.
On Onur Gilleard Rhinoplasty’s YouTube channel, Sam said in April 2022 that his rhinoplasty to reshape his nose has given him confidence. ‘For me, it’s changed everything. I can walk into places anywhere and just feel comfortable. I don’t feel like everyone’s looking at me from an angle where I’m feeling uncomfortable,’ he said.
Why is Sam on Love Is Blind UK?
Although some of his fellow contestants have their doubts about his motives for being on the show, having had his heart broken twice, Sam says he is hoping that it’ll be third time lucky with the next person to come into his life. He said he often feels the pressure from his mum to settle down and find a wife, but he insists he is looking for true love. ‘Beauty is only skin-deep, it is about falling for the right person,’ he said. ‘Since I found out about this experiment, I came off the dating apps. I trained very hard in the gym. Great new skincare routine. The whole lot. I’m hoping the next wedding I attend will probably be my own.’
