Jake wasn’t featured much in the series, as Catherine previously explained: ‘Jake, he was in the pods, but he wasn’t chosen.
‘He got engaged, but he wasn’t chosen to go on retreat.
‘So not everyone is chosen. Netflix only chose five couples, I was lucky, but unfortunately he wasn’t.
“But his journey in there was very tough, like he was going through a rollercoaster of emotions, like the way he was treated.
‘So I approached him. I hadn’t seen him. I only saw Freddie and the couples at the retreat, so I saw him on social media and I thought, ‘I wonder if he’s the one from the show.’ So I messaged him.
“We were on FaceTime for about five hours that night and then we talked every day for five weeks.”
Catherine and Freddie bonded so deep in the pods during the show’s first season that they got engaged without ever meeting.
But just two weeks after their almost-wedding, Catherine started dating Jake.

Freddie revealed his true feelings after discovering Catherine moved on by dating another Netflix cast member just days after their wedding.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Freddie said: ‘I found out early on, to be honest, so not long after we broke up, maybe a few weeks later, I found out she’d been on a date with him.
“If she’s happy, you know, then I don’t really have anything to say, to be honest. I think as long as she and he are happy, I hope it works for them.”
Freddie admitted at the time that dating someone else from the Netflix show definitely wouldn’t be his style.
He added: “I personally wouldn’t choose it. I chased Cat, and that was my journey. I think you can meet anyone anywhere. You can go to Morrisons and meet someone. You don’t have to meet anyone from the pods.’
