The popular Netflix show where contestants meet their dates but are unable to see each other and have to converse solely through speakers is taking the streaming service to court

A contestant on the second series of the show Love Is Blind is suing Netflix over alleged breaches of labour laws.

Jeremy Hartwell alleges that producers encouraged the cast to drink alcohol, while limiting access to food and water and underpaying them.

The Ex-contestant told CNN in an interview at the weekend that he had to try to fight the effects of sleep deprivation after long hours filming under bright lights.

He added that the way the cast’s luggage was searched was like being on a “boot camp” and even at the hotel living quarters, food was restricted to the point of severe hunger.”

The Production company part of the show told U.S Media there was “absolutely no merit” to the allegations.

Love Is Blind was nominated for an Emmy award – outstanding structured reality programme – last week.
