Jake wasn’t seen much on the series as Catherine has previously explained: ‘Jake, he was in the pods, but he wasn’t chosen.
‘He got engaged, but he wasn’t chosen to go on the retreat.
‘So not everyone is picked. Netflix only choose five couples, I was lucky enough, but sadly, he wasn’t.
‘But his journey was very rough in there, like he had a rollercoaster of emotions, like the way he was treated.
‘So I reached out to him. I hadn’t seen him. I only saw Freddie and the couples on the retreat, so I saw him on socials, and I was like, ‘I wonder if he’s the one from the show’. So I messaged him.
‘We were on FaceTime for about five hours that evening and then we spoke every day for five weeks.’
Catherine and Freddie built a connection so deeply in the pods during the show’s first season that they got engaged without ever meeting.
But, after just two weeks after their almost-wedding, Catherine started dating Jake.

Freddie revealed his true feelings after he discovered Catherine moved on by dating another member of the Netflix cast just days following their wedding.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Freddie said: ‘I found out about it quite early on, to be honest, so not long after we broke up, maybe a couple weeks after, I found out she had been on dates with him.
‘If she’s happy, you know, I’ve not really got anything to say, to be honest. I think as long as she’s happy and he’s happy, then I hope it works for them.’
Freddie admitted at the time that dating someone else from the Netflix show certainly wouldn’t be his style.
He added: ‘I wouldn’t choose to, personally. I pursued 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 someone from the pods.’
