The third series of Netflix’s dating competition Perfect Match is under way, with fans hooked on the drama and entanglements between the contestants. Stars from reality shows such as Love Is Blind, The Bachelor and Love Island USA attempt to find love on this programme.
Ahead of the finale on 15 August, we take a deeper look at Lucy Syed, the Harry Potter fan who’s looking for someone to cast a spell on.

Who is Lucy Syed?
Lucy is a presenter, actress, singer, nightclub host and model from London.
How old is Lucy Syed?
Lucy was born on 5 June 1996, making her 29 years old.
What shows has Lucy Syed been on before?
Fans will recognise Lucy from the sixth series of Netflix's Too Hot To Handle, where she finished as runner-up.
Who has Lucy Syed dated?
Earlier this year, Lucy was linked to Sam Thompson after they were spotted on a date. An insider said, ‘Sam and Lucy were sharing direct messages over Instagram before they decided to meet up at a pub and then continue their night at The Rex Rooms. They looked really close in the club, chatting and cuddling up together. But their closeness continued after they spent the night partying together and the pair’s connection has certainly put a smile back on Sam’s face.’
What type of man is Lucy Syed looking for?
‘I’ve always dated boys, now I’m ready for a man,’ Lucy declared at the start of Perfect Match. She can’t resist a guy who can quote Harry Potter. But she’s put off by someone who is rude or has bad manners.
Who is Lucy Syed paired with on Perfect Match?

Lucy and Daniel Perfetto from Dated & Related were drawn to each other from the very start and were the first couple to match up in the villa. But their connection has been tested throughout the series, with some high highs and low lows, as they’ve had their heads turned by other contestants, yet make up time and time again. Time will tell if they can make their romance last.
