Ciara Murphy, the 30-year-old Pilates instructor from London appearing on Netflix's Love Is Blind UK series three, is almost unrecognisable in a resurfaced 2023 photo that shows her with dark brown hair, a stark contrast to her current bright-blonde look on screen.
Ciara's Hair Transformation and Personal Story
A 2023 Instagram post captures Ciara grinning at the camera in front of Christmas decorations, with dark hair that makes her look dramatically different from her appearance on the show today. The now-30-year-old spoke openly about the change on Love Is Blind UK, revealing to a fellow contestant that she had switched from brunette to blonde.
Beyond her hair, Ciara's reasons for joining the show are deeply personal. She has candidly discussed experiencing infidelity in all of her previous relationships, according to her Netflix bio. The bio states: "Ciara is a fan of the finer things in life and has a diary constantly full of brunches with the girls, trips abroad and dinner parties. She also books in three dates a week having been single for a year and is looking for someone who values her for more than just her looks. Family-orientated Ciara has been cheated on in every relationship and says this has left her with trust issues."
How Love Is Blind UK Works
Love Is Blind UK places single men and women in separate pods, where they go on a series of blind dates without ever seeing each other. If a couple decides to move forward, they must get engaged before meeting face to face. The show then follows them as they move in together and prepare for their wedding day, though not every relationship survives the journey.
Now in its third series, the Netflix show has delivered high drama and raw emotion. Eight episodes are currently available to stream, with the remaining episodes set to land next week, according to the report. Audiences will soon discover which couples say "I do" and which walk away.
Ciara's Journey on the Show
Whether Ciara finds what she is looking for in the pods remains to be seen, but her story is already one of the most compelling of the series. Love Is Blind UK is available to stream on Netflix now.
