Who Is Jack Bradshaw? Get to Know the ‘Love Is Blind: UK’ Season 3 Standout
We’re heading back across the pond and into the pods for Love Is Blind: UK Season 3. The premise is as addictive as ever: A group of attractive singles date through a wall, hoping to fall in love with someone’s personality before ever seeing what they look like.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the drama stays behind the wall, or even in the pods. From awkward love triangles to NSFW Love Is Blind moments, the UK version promises all the wild antics we’ve come to expect, but with charming British accents that occasionally require subtitles (we’re looking at you, Jordan from Birmingham).
Every season has its breakout stars, whether for the right reasons or the wrong ones. And this time, it’s Jack Bradshaw who has everyone talking, both onscreen and offscreen. Jack has made quite the impression with his outspoken personality and unfiltered approach.
So, who exactly is Jack Bradshaw? Here’s everything you need to know about the Love Is Blind: UK Season 3 contestant.
Who is Jack Bradshaw?
There’s always one tattooed charmer in the pods, and this season that title belongs to 30-year-old Jack Bradshaw. Love him or hate him, Jack has quickly become one of Love Is Blind: UK Season 3’s most divisive contestants. In fact, one cast member seems to go from firmly in the first camp to the second over the course of the experiment.
In the pods, Jack speaks openly about living with ADHD, explaining that it can make it difficult to sit still or stay focused during conversations. It’s also why he stays active, whether that’s running, surfing, or late-night walks…
His last proper relationship ended when his partner moved away, and after two years of being single, Jack says he’s ready to find “the one” and settle down. Unlike many of his fellow contestants, he’s never used dating apps and has no plans to start now.
With his parents separating when he was five years old, Jack says he’s always wanted to build the lasting relationship he never saw growing up. His goal is simple — to marry his best friend.
As for what he brings to the table? Jack confidently claims his “chat” is the best in the world. Given how often he talks his way out of awkward situations in the pods, he may be onto something. As for dealbreakers, he doesn’t mince his words there either, admitting he’s put off by “bad teeth” and “weird feet.”
Where is Jack from?
Jack hails from Cornwall, on England’s rugged southwest coast, and proudly embraces the laid-back beach lifestyle. When he’s not working, you’ll usually find him surfing, swimming, or making the most of the coastline. Unsurprisingly, the hustle and bustle of city life isn’t really his scene.

Finding love closer to home hasn’t been easy, though. According to Jack, dating in Cornwall can be tricky because it’s such a close-knit community where “everyone knows everyone.” This is one of the reasons he decided to take a chance on Love Is Blind: UK.
What is Jack’s job?
Before entering the pods, Jack worked as a chef, and his culinary skills quickly made him a favorite in the men’s living quarters. He’s often seen cooking for his fellow cast members, happily taking on the role of house chef.
That passion for food also leads to one of his more awkward moments in the pods. When he learns that one of his potential matches is vegan, he innocently offers to cook her something with mozzarella. Oh no.
Later in the season, he reveals he’s hoping to move into a career in sales. With several job opportunities already lined up in London, it seems he may be ready for a new leap.
Who did Jack connect with in the pods?
Jack didn’t exactly get off to the best start with everyone in the pods. After learning that Chevanique worked as a sexual health nurse, he jokingly dubbed her a “penis expert.” Yeah, that comment landed about as well as you’d expect. Several other women were also put off by his unfiltered sense of humor.
Despite a few early missteps, two strong connections quickly emerged: Faye and Ciara.
Faye, an executive assistant originally from Guernsey who now lives in London, caught Jack’s attention almost immediately. With no appearances to judge, he was won over by her voice from their very first conversation and admitted he already fancied her. Before long, he had nicknamed her “Fantastic Faye,” and the pair built an easy, playful connection filled with jokes and laughter. Jack brought her flowers, regularly hugged her through the pod wall, and even shared a dream about a blonde woman riding a horse who sounded suspiciously like Faye. He also wrote her a heartfelt letter, which was especially awkward, given that he had initially claimed he was writing it for his other connection.
That other connection was Ciara, a Pilates instructor who proudly admitted she rarely ventures far from her home in southwest London. Jack was immediately drawn to her bubbly personality and princess demands, and the pair quickly moved into flirtier conversations, including discussing their turn-ons.
However, one memorable hurdle came when they somehow ended up arguing over… cheese. Yes, cheese. Despite Jack being a chef, he repeatedly forgot that Ciara was vegan, much to her fury.
At one point, Jack claimed he was convinced he would propose to Ciara. She also expressed serious interest in him.
In the end, though, Jack ended things to pursue Faye, saying their playful chemistry felt right to him. Ciara claimed she had planned to end things herself because of her strong connection with Ajay, and that Jack could sense this.
With his decision made, Jack asked Faye to be his girlfriend and confessed that he was falling for her. But did that lead to a proposal? Did Jack leave the pods engaged?
Did Jack get engaged?
At the start of Episode 4, Jack asked Faye to marry him, and she quickly said yes. When they finally met face-to-face, they were both visibly shaking with nerves, but Jack soon declared that he “fancied the pants off [her].” Is there a higher compliment? He also couldn’t resist a cheeky comment about “two things that stand out,” referring to the very noticeable way Faye filled out the top half of her dress. (Eye roll.)
The newly engaged couple then headed to Ibiza with the other couples and continued to hit it off. However, Jack found himself in an argument with Ciara after accusing her of trying to turn Faye against him. Ciara, meanwhile, felt Jack had lied to Ajay about her feelings. Essentially, they both believed the other had tried to sabotage their respective connections, and neither seemed willing to budge on the matter.

One particularly romantic moment came when Jack decorated the villa’s private pool with rose petals and surrounded it with candles as a surprise for Faye. She was taken aback by the gesture, and Jack then told her how much he loved her.
Back in the UK, the couple continued to explore their relationship and began meeting each other’s families. At Faye’s birthday party, they managed to stay relatively drama-free despite plenty of chaos happening around them. There was, however, a hint of concern from Faye about Jack drinking too much. It was only after the party that things really started to unravel.
Faye woke up around 5 or 6 a.m. to discover that Jack’s side of the bed was empty. She tried calling and texting him, but he didn’t answer. She was extremely worried and even went outside to look for him. Then she checked Find My Friends and noticed that Jack had removed his location, despite it being available the night before. Huh, that’s suspicious…
Around two hours later, Jack finally picked up and said he’d been out for a walk and was planning to take an Uber home. Faye later said it didn’t sound as though he was actually outside. When he eventually returned, she noticed he was wearing sliders. Who goes for a two-hour walk in sliders?
Faye shared her concerns with her parents, who were far from impressed with Jack’s explanation. And that’s when things got really icky.
When Faye and Jack tried to talk through what had happened, Jack became increasingly defensive. He claimed he regularly went for walks without his phone and argued that Faye shouldn’t need to know his whereabouts. He also denied knowing why his location had suddenly become unavailable and suggested that her lack of trust was something she needed to deal with herself.
Despite all this, the wedding is still on, but there are now some serious doubts hanging over the relationship. We’ll have to wait and see what happens when Jack and Faye reach the altar.
