Love is in the blood

A dating show with a difference

What happens when you mix a blind date with a blood donation?

Love is in the blood is back for a second series on Channel 4.0’s YouTube channel.

In this feel-good dating series, two people meet for the first time while giving blood, with a divider keeping them hidden from each other. Matchmaker Adeola Patronne gets the conversation started as they find out whether they could be a positive match.
