The wages of the Love Is Blind UK cast before the show prove who should actually want a prenup

Sabrina is making BANK


You might be wondering what kind of wages the cast of Love Is Blind UK are bringing home, because the chat about money and prenups has been rife.

Catherine and Freddie had a big ol’ awkward convo when he suggested a prenup because he wasn’t keen on the idea of her being able to have half his cash, and then Jasmine’s mum grilled Bobby about money and work, too. Tom and Maria also had a divisive conversation about money, when she said she believes a man should provide for his wife.

But you can’t really be too shocked, when you marry someone money is a big thing for a lot of people. So, how much are these lot bringing home? Using online tool Checkasalary, we entered the job titles of the Love Is Blind UK cast members, and the area they are from. This gives an estimation of how much people in that area, who work that job, earn. Here is a rundown of the estimated wages the cast of Love Is Blind UK season one were being paid in their jobs before the show.

Catherine – £27k


Catherine works as a dental nurse, and is from Jersey. The average dental nurse salary in the UK varies, as quite often the job is paid hourly, rather than an annual wage. However, the average salary for those paid per annum is around the £27k mark. More experienced dental nurses can expect to be paid upwards of £30k.

Freddie – £23k


Freddie has made a big deal over not wanting to share his cash, but if average salaries are anything to go by, Catherine could be earning more than him anyway. The average wage of a funeral director in Bolton is £23k.

Demi – £33k


Demi has a very specific job title: She works as a safeguarding and attendance manager in London. Anyone have any ideas what that actually means? No? Well according to Checkasalary, jobs with a similar title (there was no exact match), have an estimated salary of around £33k.

Ollie – £40k


Ollie has a pretty lucrative job, working in software sales in London. This comes with an average wage of £40k, but those with loads of experience can earn up to £80k in the peak of their careers.

Maria – £25k


Money has come up a lot between Maria and Tom, and he admitted he looked negatively upon her job as a makeup artist. Maria is most likely self employed, so her salary is hugely based on how popular she is. However, the average makeup artist in Southampton, where she is from, can expect to earn £25k a year.

Tom – £33k


Tom is based in London, and his job is in PR and advertising consulting. In the UK capital, this job role carries an average salary of £33k.

Nicole – £59k


Ok Nicole, we see you! Nicole has “head of” in her title, which in the marketing world, carries a lot. She is head of brand and marketing, based in Surrey. This role carries an average wage of £59k, which can be boosted to upwards of £70k when you’ve worked in the role for 10+ years.

Benaiah – £30k


Despite saying he doesn’t have a home, Benaiah has a pretty solid job. He works as a structural landscaper and is based in Preston, where the average salary for this role is £30k. Not bad!

Sabrina – £80k


Sabrina?! She kept this one quiet! Our Belfast girlie is absolutely ranking it in, it would seem. Her job title is director of marketing and communications, and where she’s from this comes with an average salary of £80k. People with more experience earn over £100k in this role.

Steven – £50k


Steven and Sabrina could make a bit of a power couple, as Steven also has one of the highest estimated wages out of the cast of Love Is Blind UK. He owns his own gym in London, which on average carries a £50k salary, but he owns the business too, so will be sitting on its worth on top of that!

Jasmine – £40k


Jasmine deserves all the money in all the world, working as a mental health nurse in London. Here, what she can actually expect as a salary is around the £40k mark – London carries a higher average salary in this job than the rest of the UK.

Bobby – £28k


Bobby’s job is a bit of a tough one to nail down, because it’s quite specific to work as a luxury shopping guide. Is this a fancy way of saying he’s a personal shopper? If so, the average salary for this is £28k. I wonder how much money he made on the side for his awful music video?
