Netflix's Perfect Match features reality stars from Too Hot To Handle, Love is Blind, The Circle and more. So let's meet the cast.
Fans of reality TV are in for a treat this Valentine's Day, because Netflix's brand new show Perfect Match brings together some of the biggest stars from the streaming service's previous dating shows in a second attempt to find love. It's no surprise that viewers are keen to know who's appearing on the show, as well as where Perfect Match is filmed, and if the show's strongest couple, Joey and Kariselle, are still together - as well as winners Georgia and Dom and last-minute pairing Nick and LC.
If you're one of those people who loves to keep up with the cast of reality TV after they leave the screen - asking which Too Hot To Handle couples are still together, who is still together from Love is Blind and checking in on whether successful couples such as Alexa and Brennnon are still together - then you're going to love Perfect Match. Let's take a look at the cast...
Perfect Match cast
Perfect Match is a brand new dating show that stars famous faces from Netflix's other reality TV series. it's presented by Nick Lachey, who co-hosts Netflix's Love Is Blind, and at the end of the series he will crown one couple the "perfect match".
Netflix says: "Perfect Match brings together the most famously single stars of Netflix’s unscripted series (Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum, Too Hot To Handle, The Mole and more) to a tropical paradise in an attempt to find love. As they compete to form relationships, the most compatible couples will play matchmaker, breaking up other couples and sending them on dates with brand-new singles they’ll invite to the villa. Will they create better matches, or will they create chaos? In this over-the-top journey of strategy and dating hosted by Nick Lachey, only one couple will be crowned the Perfect Match."
1. Francesca Farago
Previously on: Too Hot To Handle season one
After much rule breaking, Canadian contestant Francesca finally found love with fellow Too Hot To Handle cast member Harry Jowsey. The pair dated on and off after leaving the show, before calling it quits for good in May 2021.
Since then, Francesca went on to date The Only Way Is Essex star Demi Sims, and also appeared on Love Is Blind: Life After the Altar as Damian Power's date.
Many are surprised by Francesca's appearance on Perfect Match, as it appears she's been in a serious relationship with Jesse Sullivan for the last six months, with Jesse even saying on Instagram, "I cannot wait to get down on one knee for her."
Fans have concluded that Perfect Match must have been filmed before the pair got together.
2. Chloe Veitch
Previously on: Too Hot To Handle season one
Chloe starred alongside Francesca in season one of Too Hot To Handle, and also starred in the 2021 series of The Circle US.
Chloe didn't find love during her time on Too Hot To Handle but she did walk away with a chunk of the prize money, and has stayed good friends with with fellow contestant Nicole O'Brien.
Posing as herself on The Circle, Chloe had a little more success, coming in second place and being crowned 'Fan Favourite'.
Her other reality TV stints include an appearance on Channel 4's Celebrity Ghost Trip, where she was partnered with Too Hot To Handle co-star Nicole O'Brien, and Celebrity Hunted.
3. Chase DeMoor
Previously on: Too Hot To Handle season two
After beginning the second season of Too Hot To Handle happily coupled up with Canadian model Carly Lawrence, Chase was quick to jump ship after the arrival of Tabitha Cliftt.
He was eventually beaten to the cash prize by Marvin Anthony, after Marvin showed his commitment to fellow contestant Melinda.
4. Georgia Hassarati
Previously on: Too Hot To Handle season three
Georgia Hassarati is from Brisbane, Australia. She had an on-off relationship with season one star and Francesca's ex Harry Jowsey since mid 2022, before the pair broke it off for good at the end of the year.
In an interview with The US Sun in November 2022, Harry said of his relationship with Georgia: "At the moment, Georgia and I are no longer together, but let me tell you my relationship with her was nothing short of amazing. Georgia is such an incredible human being. She is one of the most amazing people I have ever met, and I am beyond grateful we crossed paths."
5. Izzy Fairthorne
Previously on: Too Hot To Handle season three
Personal trainer Izzy was a finalist on season three of Too Hot To Handle, but she left the show single and lost out on the prize money to Harry and Beaux.
Izzy got on well with fellow Perfect Match contestant Georgia, and the pair actually broke Lana's rules together while on the show, landing themselves in hot water with their fellow cast mates.
6. Bartise Bowden
Previously on: Love is Blind season three
Although Bartise did make it out of the pods after proposing to fellow contestant Nancy, it wasn't meant to be and Bartise and Nancy from Love is Blind aren't together anymore.
Although Nancy said yes at the altar, Bartise said "I do not", causing Nancy to walk back down the aisle in tears.
Bartise has since said that he feels 'ashamed' watching the show back, but that he doesn't have any regrets.
7. Damian Powers
Previously on: Love is Blind season one
Damien Powers had little more success on Love is Blind than Bartise when he appeared on the first season of the show.
He left the pods with then-fiance Giannina Gibelli, and though they had their ups and downs and ultimately decided against saying 'I do', they did leave the show in a committed relationship.
It wasn't meant to be however, and the couple didn't last. Unsurprisingly, Giannina was unimpressed by Francesca Farago turning up as Damien's date on After the Altar, so it will be interesting to see how the pair get along on Perfect Match.
8. Diamond Jack
Previously on: Love is Blind season one
Diamond split with her fiance Carlton before they made it to the wedding on Love is Blind, following a huge fight surrounding Carlton's sexuality.
After Carlton proposed, he told Diamond that he'd dated men and women before, prompting Diamond saying that she felt betrayed that he didn’t tell her sooner.
And the drama didn't end there for Diamond. Before After the Altar she went on a blind date with the friend of a friend’s boyfriend, Rumeal. Rumeal ghosted her but still turned up to the reunion, and ended up spending the whole night sulking while Diamond chatted to her cast mates.
9. Lauren Chamblin
Previously on: Love is Blind season one
Lauren 'LC' also appeared on the first season of Love is Blind, and though she didn't get engaged she did close to Matthew Barnett while in the pods. However, Matthew is now married to fellow contestant Amber Pike.

LC has said in the past that she remains good friends with fellow Perfect Match cast member Diamond.
10. Shayne Jansen
Previously on: Love is Blind season two
Shayne was engaged to Natalie Lee during his time on Love is Blind, but the pair didn't get married after Natalie called things off in the final episode.

11. Calvin Crooks
Previously on: The Circle US season 3
Calvin Crooks appeared on The Circle US season 3, playing himself. He didn't have much success however, ending up blocked and exiting the show in episode 7.

12. Joey Sasso - The Circle
Previously on: The Circle US season one
Joey Sasso won the first season of The Circle US. While taking part in the show, he formed a connection with fellow contestant Miranda, who he shared a kiss with after she visited him following her elimination.

Previously on: The Circle US season three
Nick appeared on The Circle US alongside fellow Perfect Match cast member Calvin. Nick came in fifth place, and played himself but as a drummer, as well as 'Vince', after Calvin gave him and advantage.

15. Savannah Palacio

16. Ines Tazi
Previously on: The Circle France

Previously on: The Ultimatum
In The Ultimatum, six couples have to make the decision to either get engaged or break up, after swapping partners for three weeks.
Zay entered the show with his girlfriend of two and a half years, Rae. Both connected with their new partners, and when Rae couldn’t give Zay reassurance that she wanted to be with him at the end of the three-week trial, he disappeared into the night and refused to answer her calls.
When he came back at 8am smelling of alcohol, Rae called time on their relationship.
22. Kariselle Snow
