Love is in the blood

Could giving blood lead to finding the right type?

Our new YouTube show in partnership with Channel 4 follows 8 singletons who go on blind dates behind dividers while they donate to help save lives.

While they give blood, hidden from each other's view, matchmaker Adeola Patronne quizzes them on their love potential. Could they be a positive or negative match? Will sparks fly before the donation ends?
