00:00 So my name is Arlena Jackson, I'm 32 years old from Preston and day to day I have my
00:14 own cosmetics line for those that suffer with hair loss so I'm in and out of the post office
00:19 and doing content online for that.
00:25 So Love Triangle is a crazy dating experience where you're put in scenarios that you wouldn't
00:33 usually be dealt with in reality but it's very exciting in the dating world.
00:42 So when I signed up for Love Triangle it was very, I was very up in the air, I was very
00:47 much single, I was very sick of dating apps and just the whole dating world and I literally
00:53 never put myself out there on the market.
00:56 I was very happy being single but then Love Triangle came along and I just thought why
01:00 not, why not take the opportunity and potentially find love.
01:07 Prior to Love Triangle my relationship history was diabolical.
01:12 I was actually single for two years prior to that and I was always in long term relationships
01:17 that were very toxic and not healthy so I spent a lot of time on my own and that's why
01:24 when Love Triangle came along I was very open minded and ready for the right person to potentially
01:31 come along.
01:32 In my last relationship I unfortunately lost all my hair to alopecia and it was diagnosed
01:38 through stress and a lot of trauma.
01:42 It'd be unfair to blame my last relationship on that but it certainly didn't help and that's
01:49 probably a result of me spending a long time on my own independently, building myself back
01:54 up, focusing on my health.
01:55 Obviously as you can see now I have got my hair back which is a miracle in itself.
02:01 But yeah it's been a very, very interesting two years.
02:05 Love life aside it's been a very crazy whirlwind.
02:08 So when I signed up for Love Triangle I was very open minded because obviously I was putting
02:17 my love life in the hands of experts that are great but didn't necessarily know me as
02:22 a whole.
02:23 Obviously how well can you know someone based on interviews?
02:27 So I didn't really have my expectations too high.
02:30 I was just very open minded and just prepared to meet someone that wasn't a total bum still
02:37 living at mum's basically.
02:39 Just someone with their own independence and their own career path and ambitions.
02:49 So obviously reality TV has been done and done and done time and time again but this
02:55 is a whole new concept.
02:56 This is like reality TV dating on steroids.
03:00 So if you like Married at First Sight you will absolutely love Love Triangle.
