Birmingham sexual health nurse Chevanique has spoken out about her portrayal in Love Is Blind UK season 3, telling followers: "They're making me out to be someone I'm not." The 29-year-old appeared in the first eight episodes of the Netflix dating show, which have already been released to audiences across the country.
During her time on the show, Chevanique developed a meaningful connection with fellow contestant Joseph. However, Joseph simultaneously pursued a relationship with Francesca, according to the Mirror. When Joseph chose Francesca, Chevanique was left with questions, and the show later brought the three together in a tense reunion, where she made clear she wanted answers about their time in the pods.

Taking to her social media stories, Chevanique addressed her followers in a candid video thanking everyone for their support as she added: "I thank you so much because you've made this transition so much easier for me."
She then turned her attention to the edit itself, adding: "I know your girl isn't getting the best edit, damn. J***s, they're making me out to be someone I'm not. But it's okay, like it's all for entertainment purposes."
