Back to host Love Is Blind UK are husband and wife presenting team, Matt and Emma.
However, they have now revealed they were unsure whether to return to present season 2 of the show.
Speaking on today’s Heart Radio‘s breakfast show, Emma revealed why they were hesitant to sign up to the show again.
“We were really scared, weren’t we?” the popular presenter said to he husband, who replied: “We were, yeah.”
Continuing, Emma said: “Like, really scared. Because season one was such a hit, and everybody loved it, and it kind of had a little bit of everything.
“Matt always says, ‘It’s like that difficult second album.’
“Like, is it ever going to be as good as the first? But I think it is as good as the first.
“It’s just different. Like this one’s, I think, a slightly slower burn, isn’t it?
“The pods, I think, in comparison to last year, are much calmer. But then it all starts to go.”
Meanwhile, the new series was filmed last year and was Emma’s first big project on screen since undergoing keyhole surgery to repair a hole in her heart.

Before the show kicked off last week, the former Big Brother host said: “It’s really nice to be back.
“It was nice to have a little time off to recover and focus on what I needed to do. But now it’s full steam ahead and back to work, which is nice.”
Continuing, she said: “We filmed it straight after the reunion for series one so the characters from season one were so fresh. I was like, ‘How are we ever going to match that?’ ”
Matt added: “Watching it happen, being part of the show, you’re just rooting for them.”
However, despite the trend for shows to have celebrity spin-offs, Emma doesn’t think that could ever work here.
“You’d constantly be trying to guess who it was, wouldn’t you?,” she said.
“There’d be certain people that you’d absolutely know who it was. Imagine if Rylan was in there, or Alan Carr.
