Love is Blind UK: Why did Lorraine Kelly refer to Kal and Billy as ‘eejits’? 

Lorraine Kelly didn't hold back her opinions during Tuesday morning's interview with Love is Blind UK stars Ashleigh and Sarover. The TV host openly criticized their ex-husbands, Kal and Billy, calling them "eejits" before the interview even started.

The pair appeared on the show following Netflix's reunion episode, which aired over the weekend. Both women revealed their marriages had collapsed after just three months. Their divorces happened within 24 hours of each other in early January 2025.

Love is Blind UK follows singles who date and get engaged without seeing each other. Couples meet face-to-face only after proposals. The experiment tests whether emotional connections can lead to lasting marriages. Series two featured multiple couples, but many relationships didn't survive beyond the cameras.

The Love is Blind UK reunion brought former spouses together for the first time since their splits. Ashleigh faced Billy while Sarover confronted Kal. Both women sought answers about why their marriages ended so abruptly. The emotional encounters provided little closure for either bride.

Kelly jumped right in and didn’t bother hiding how she felt about the marriages that fell apart.

“I am baffled by the fact that those two eejits said no, it’s crazy,” she said.

Her tone only got sharper as the chat went on.

“They were punching way above their weight anyway. I just don’t get it,” she continued, making it obvious whose side she was on.

Kelly wasn’t neutral; she was firmly rooting for the women and seemed genuinely annoyed at how the men treated them. Sarover then explained how Kal pulled the plug on their marriage without even trying to communicate.

“If you tried to talk to me, we would have at least had a conversation,” she told Kelly.

Kelly didn’t hesitate to point out the obvious: Kal had completely “shut down” during the relationship. Sarover agreed, describing how he just closed himself off emotionally, leaving her with no chance to work through their problems. Billy, meanwhile, acted almost the same way with Ashleigh: no long talks, no explanations, just silence.

Both women were left holding unanswered questions while their husbands simply checked out. The reunion was supposed to offer closure, but instead, it felt like someone had ripped open the wounds again without giving them the healing they were looking for. It wasn’t just heartbreaking television. It was a stark reminder of how unfinished stories can sting the most.

Despite their painful experiences, both women maintain positive attitudes about the experiment on Love is Blind UK. They haven't given up on finding love or marriage. Ashleigh described the pod experience as "magical." She emphasized how quickly meaningful conversations develop when physical appearance isn't a factor. Sarover agreed that the compressed timeline helps couples know each other deeply. She suggested success depends on both partners remaining genuine throughout the process.

What was Kelly’s final verdict?

The Love is Blind UK host wrapped things up with a pep talk that felt part teacher, part friend. Kelly looked straight at the women and reminded them they were smart, strong, and beautiful, with way too much going for them to stay stuck in heartbreak. She told them to stop thinking of their marriages as failures and instead see them like pop quizzes that taught lessons they probably wouldn’t forget. Kelly even suggested they got lucky bailing out before things got worse.

That blunt advice hit harder than a usual TV signoff because it opened the door to bigger questions about whether shows built on quick engagements can really hold up once the lights go off and the cameras leave. Behind the drama and flashy edits, there’s a tough reality: these love stories often don’t stretch much further than the finale, which makes people wonder if the “forever love” the show promises is really just a season-long cliffhanger disguised as a wedding.
