"But I would tend to stay away from it, because it is high in fat and quite, I don't know calorific as well," he added.

He mentioned that diet would go "out the window" at Christmas. It was the time when he could eat whatever he wanted.

Later, when Love Is Blind: UK star Ashleigh mentioned onions, Billy told her that they should keep their weekly shop "simple and healthy." He mentioned getting lean meat, such as mince with broccoli, and rice.

"Yeah, with my job, it's hard, because I'm kind of not in a routine ever," said Ashleigh.

Billy said he would cook for her, which she also agreed to. However, she told him not to cook rice, broccoli and mince.

"I'm feeling a little bit uncomfortable. He's very structured, and disciplined, and particular on food. I don't wanna completely change my diet to be super lean to fit all the needs of him, 'cause that doesn't suit me," confessed Ashleigh.

Further, Love Is Blind: UK couple reached the baked items aisle. Pointing to various baked goods, she told Billy that it was heaven for her.

"If I'm feeling a little bit down and just want a pick-me-up, give me cake," she said.

Billy confessed to the cameras that it was the first time they had a "large" difference in opinion. He told her that he was not going to stop eating clean. She shared with the cameras that it made her feel "quite anxious."

While Billy said he wouldn't buy baked goods, Ashleigh said he would see sweet treats in the basket.
