Now, Shake Chatterjee from Love Is Blind season 2 has revealed he was approached to be on the show, but pulled out after finding out Nick Lachey was going to be the host. Eek.

Writing on Instagram Stories, Shake said, "Happy for my friends on Perfect Match but there was no way I was going to participate with that clown Nick Lachey hosting. I backed out as soon as I found out he was involved.

Shake was criticised during his time on Love Is Blind and the Reunion show, due to his behaviour towards partner Deepti Vempati, so maybe it's not such a bad thing after all.

We have reached out to reps for Nick Lachey for comment.
