EXCLUSIVE: Ahead of Strictly Come Dancing 2025, it seems one Netflix star may have his sights set on that glitterball in the near future.

*Warning – This article contains spoilers for Love Is Blind UK season 2.*

Love Is Blind UK season 2 has now officially come to an end, with the stars sharing in last night’s reunion which couples have stayed together. In a shocking twist it was revealed that just one pair have stayed happily married.

While there was plenty of heartbreak during the episode, Netflix viewers couldn’t help but smile when the fan-favourite newlyweds Kieran and Megan confirmed things were still going strong.

In an exclusive interview with Reach Screen Time, Kieran and Megan spoke about the possibility of pursuing further opportunities in reality TV.

Asked if they would be up for doing Strictly, Kieran confirmed enthusiastically: “Strictly! Sign me up!”

“He would love that,” Megan agreed, as Kieran quipped: “Strictly Come Dancing. She’s not allowed!”

Megan is a professional dancer and dance instructor, which would pretty much put her out of the running for the BBC show.

However, she added: “Dancing On Ice for me! I’d love to learn how to skate. I would love that.”

Kieran then elaborated fondly: “I’ve said she’s not allowed to do Strictly because she’s far too good for Strictly, whereas me, you know, I’ve got some liquid hips.”

“He’s ready, he’s halfway there!” Megan added, as her husband chimed in: “There’s something to work with but there’s no training here guys. So I could do Strictly and you should do Dancing On Ice.”

While Dancing On Ice has been “rested” by ITV, Strictly Come Dancing is gearing up for another highly-anticipated series on BBC One this Autumn.

The 2025 lineup, which includes Love Island’s Dani Dyer, Doctor Who’s Alex Kingston and I’m A Celebrity’s Vicky Pattison, is complete for this year – but that doesn’t stop Kieran from signing up for 2026!

Elsewhere in the interview the pair offered an update on how married life has been going so far, with Megan admitting: “It’s been quite effortless, really.”

Kieran added: “It’s been plain sailing, honestly. I mean, I think we talked about everything we needed to talk about in those pods, so nothing was unexpected about what Meg’s work life was like or what my work life was like, and so we just fitted into each other’s lives very easily.”

Megan continued: “Yeah, we both live in London; now we live together. So that was pretty easy for us as well to get into. Our families really get on, our friends really get on.”

Kieran then joked: “It’s been pretty seamless annoyingly for everyone! It’s been very easy to be honest.”

Unfortunately, the other couples from Love Is Blind UK season 2 did not have the same experience, with Katisha leaving Javen before their wedding day and Bardha turning Jed down at the altar.

More shockingly still, married couples from the show Kal and Sarover and Billy and Ashleigh all revealed in the reunion episode that they had split just months after the cameras had stopped rolling.

The wresting-legend-turned-actor’s alias “dwayne Johnson” has been given a new nickname after his slimmed-down body was showcased at the premiere of his new movie.

After displaying his slimmed-down physique, Dwayne Johnson has earned a new nickname from his fans.

The wrestler-turned-actor, 54, is known across the world as The Rock, which was initially a moniker he acquired during his WWE days, but after showing off dramatic weight loss, some social media users were quick to point out that he is due a new name in light of his change in appearance.

One fan wrote, “Gonna have to start calling him Dwayne the Pebble Johnson,” while another, who shared the same joke, responded, “Gonna have to start calling him Dwayne the Pebble Johnson.”

The Moana star plays MMA fighter and UFC pioneer Mark Kerr inn the new biopic The Smashing Machine, and is thought to have lost around 60lbs in total. He is normally thought to weigh around 300lbs, meaning that his new weight currently sits somewhere around 240lbs. At the premiere of the film, The Rock posed alongside Kerr and opted for a slim grey suit.

At one point, The Rock cosied up to co-star Emily Blunt, who plays his love interest in the movie, and the Devil Wears Prada actress wowed with her 0long glittering number. Fans around the world were full of praise for his big change in looks, and some even questioned whether his usual frame was sustainable in the long run.

The Rock is close to 60, according to one fan. Physically speaking, maintaining that size was not [possibly] possible. The same thing happened to Dave Battista. They should be seen. For living healthier lifestyles, one person criticized “The Rock looks good slim down” and “he looks fine when he loses weight too quickly. He looks fine, just an older man.”

Nothing compares to watching big-chested wrestlers like Bautista and The Rock finally give up maintaining perfect bodies and choose slim, healthy ones, according to a fan. It’s not our goal to look like a bodybuilder; it’s real life.

One fan criticized him for referring to the figure he had when he was in the ring, saying, “Honestly, he looks good slimmer. People assume The Rock in WWE was much slimmer. Although I’m optimistic that he’s always healthy, it would be nice to see some weight loss.

The Hollywood star previously expressed gratitude for the opportunity to witness his transformation in front of the mirror, explaining to Vanity Fair, “I just sat in front of that mirror for three to four hours and watched it all change. There were roughly 13 or 14 different prosthetics. Thoughtfully subtle, but very powerful, in my opinion.

By the time I set, I was Mark Kerr, from the way he spoke to the way he approached life, and I felt it.

Fans of the movie star were shocked when production images first appeared last year when people posted pictures of him on set.

Writing on Twitter/X, one fan wrote: “Dwayne looks totally different.” Another shared: “That’s The Rock? Holy s**t looks unrecognizable”. A third added: “I actually had to zoom in to make sure that was him because wow… literally unrecognizable!” “Didn’t even recognize him!” said a fourth. Another posted: “He looks so different.”

Blunt played Kerr’s then-partner Dawn Staples in promotional shots after the film’s other images were released as promotional shots. In one image, Dwayne is completely shirtless and wearing only two red shorts in the corner of a boxing ring. Emily, who was glancing at her partner while wearing a low-cut white tank top, stood out from the ring to his side.

The movie depicts both Kerr’s rise to fame and his demise as a result of an opioid addiction. This is the film about Mark’s life, which also fuses fiction and the real world, despite the fact that an HBO documentary about his life was released in 2002.

GK Barry spoke with a TikTok star about famous people who had “slid into her DMs,” and was surprised by the well-known name that was given to her.

A TikTok sensation has admitted she was once approached in her private messages by one big-name star. However, she joked she feared a lawsuit by his famous parents if she spoke out.

Bella Lindsay was chatting to GK Barry on her Saving Grace podcast when the duo delved into her previous direct messages action. And, although initially hesitant, Bella revealed the biggest name to have approached her.

GK questioned, “Do you have any direct messages from celebrities?” as the ladies chatted. Have any blue tickies ever given you a DMed? Bella retorted, “One,” while smiling. Bella buffed as GK joked that her guest should not say Louis Pollock.

Bella continued, “I don’t know if… Okay, that was before I even had social media. like [before I was] a big fan of social media. Bella was scrolling through her phone while GK sounded surprised by her response.

“Cruz Beckham,” Bella confided to a shocked GK. “Did you f***ing reply,” the former I’m A Celebrity star asked. And Bella revealed she still had the screenshot of the interaction saved to her device.

His family is wealthy, he claims. Bella confessed, “well, allegedly,” before GK jumped in to let the social media star continue, “they’d sue me in a heartbeat.”

Bella continued, “Well, allegedly, and he allegedly liked my story.” The image that was kept hidden from the camera was then shown to the host. I can recall my initial message to him following his… oh, here we go. Bella Beckham has a ring to it, I told him.

Cruz and his family are wishing Romeo a happy birthday as a result of the revelation. However, it once more appeared as though Brooklyn was reportedly delivering a message while the family feud was still going on.

Brooklyn’s other family members praised him while he has so far failed to celebrate one of his close relatives’ birthdays. David, 50, was the first to discuss his son, who has recently played for Brentford B and Fort Lauderdale CF in recent years.

Romeo was kicking back in a pool as a child, and he shared a photo of him as a child that read, “Happy 23rd Birthday to my little boy.”

Along with two pink heart emojis, you say, “You are kind, humble, polite, hardworking, and the most special person to everyone we love you so much.”

Cruz, Romeo’s younger brother, also participated in the fun. He shared a throwback photo of his older sibling for his post. He exclaimed, “Love you, man. Happy birthday, @romeobeckham.

To celebrate his special day, Victoria made sure to share a number of baby photos of her son.

The release of his podcast has been delayed, according to Freddy Brazier’s statement. According to reports, he’s expecting a child with a former partner, with his father Jeff Brazier currently said to be in favor of him.

Freddy announced last month that he would be hosting his own Load of Old Cobblers podcast, which reportedly was scheduled to be released today. He has since stated that it will be delayed, stating, “Taking some time off to work on a few things.” There is no set release date for Podcast, but it will still be available.

Freddy shared the message in a post on the podcast’s Instagram page. Freddy was riding a horse in a field on the other side of a fence when the statement was shared.

The podcast was made public last week by Freddy, the youngest of Jeff and Jade Goody’s children. He made fun of the fact that it would involve him discussing relationships, relationships, and losing his mother.

In a post, he stated, “I hope my experiences and stories touch your hearts and make some of you feel less alone and maybe heard or even validated. I hope to be relatable.” Freddy added that the podcast would be “funny” and cover a range of topics.

Following reports a few days ago that Freddy is expecting a child with a former partner, the news comes this week that the launch of the podcast has been delayed. He is said to have been “blindedsided” by the circumstance.

However, it is said that Freddy and his father Jeff found peace due to it. The father and son, who made an appearance on Celebrity Race Across the World last year, were reportedly separated earlier this year.

It has blindsided him and helped to bring his father and him back together, according to a source who isn’t in the room to see it. According to them, “Jeff was one of the first people he contacted to ask for advice.” He immediately stepped up and immediately expressed his desire to help wherever he could.

Jeff made fun of himself by revealing that he was looking for parenting advice after learning the news. Freddy appeared to be lying beside him while he shared a picture of himself lying on a sofa.

It would be really helpful to me if someone could send me a parenting guidebook, especially one about “early adulthood the unconventional path,” as Jeff put it in the caption. In the caption, he included a laughing emoji and an emoji blowing a kiss.

Katisha, one of the EXCLUSIVE: Love Is Blind UK stars, and her fellow Netflix co-stars spoke about life since the episodes first aired.

*Warning: Season 2 of Love Is Blind UK may contain spoilers. *

Love Is Blind UK fans were left stunned by last night’s reunion, as the stars from season 2 of the Netflix show revealed only one couple is now left standing.

Although Kieran and Megan, the newlyweds’ paths were fraught between Kal and Sarover, Billy and Ashleigh, both of whom had separated after the couple had filmed their engagement, and the two of them were all smiling.

Jed and Bardha chose to leave the process early after Megan had warned her of her fiancé’s flirty behavior the night of the cast mixer event, as well as Javen and Katisha, who both chose to do so.

Katisha discussed her time on the show and her current feelings with Javen in an exclusive conversation with Reach Screen Time.

When asked if she felt justified in her decision to leave and if she was pleased Megan had given her a heads-up, she replied, “YES, 100%.”

She continued, “I was leaving the experiment because I wanted to get married.” We were planning a wedding, we weren’t dating, and we were already engaged to be married.

She said in reference to watching the episodes back, “It was really difficult to see how everything worked out.”

The final scene only confirmed how I felt and that I made the right choice as the viewer watched it.

At the mixer the cast members had while filming the show, Katisha also addressed Javen’s comments toward Sophie.

When I watched the mixer, I thought, “No, surely not! ” She exclaimed. It was disappointing because it brought up a lot of things that I had sort of ignored and put to the side.

“It kind of kind of all kind of validated how I was feeling and why I left,” she said.

Katisha confirmed that she was speaking to Javen and that she was still in contact with him. “He just tries to kind of dance around the whole thing without really taking responsibility for what happened.

“And for, you know, deflecting from the situation at hand and not taking the process seriously.”

He was proposing to us, but he was acting as though it was a relationship and saying, “It just didn’t work.”

Unfortunately, that’s not the case; rather, it was because of the behavior and, yes, there was some incompatibility, but I don’t believe he was ready to be a husband.

Javen has since defended his on-air behavior, calling himself a “friendly person who will talk to anyone.”

During the reunion episode, he apologized to Katisha, and she accepted his apology.
