FINDING someone to love can be tough – never mind if in just days without clapping eyes on them.

But not if you’re the cast of — I’ve heard the latest series fronted by and had a 93-per-cent success rate.

Couples date behind a wall and only meet for the first time once they become engaged.

But, somehow, series three of the UK edition spawned 14 betrothals out of a possible 15 — a mind-boggling achievement that has broken the franchise’s record.

Emma said: “They were mad for it this year.” Matt added: “There are clearly a lot of thirsty people in the UK. We both got a sense that people really were there to get married.

“They weren’t just going in to see what this was all about — they wanted to find a husband or wife.”

After the cast left the ‘pods’, the series followed just six of the 14 engaged couples as they honeymooned, lived together and walked down the aisle.

The eight couples not chosen by Netflix to complete the full journey were free to consider their connection in the outside world — but how they fared has not yet been revealed.

And viewers will have to wait until August 26 to see which of the filmed six commit to — then on to August 30 to learn if the matches have lasted since then.

The series, which was filmed a year ago, landed on the streamer on Wednesday and it’s already in the top three most-watched.

Matt added: “It’s my favourite series yet. There are some great stand-out characters.

“The kind of people you watch and just root for.”

Emma agreed: “They’ve nailed the job of getting an amazing mix of people from all walks of life and I believed in every single person we followed.”

Behold, Theo in the shower

The Gentlemen star Theo James is definitely dapper as he poses for this month’s GQ magazine.

So it’s easy to see how he’s endlessly linked to the James Bond role currently being cast for Amazon MGM’s next flick.

But the 41-year-old reckons his time has past for that, and fears he’d be forever typecast. He told the glossy mag: “I’m definitely too old now. But, yeah, that would be a place you could never come back from.”

Theo leads the cast of Guy Ritchie’s gangster series on Netflix – a gig that does him just fine. He added: “Imagine, suddenly, I cannot walk down the street – what that does to your children, trying to find themselves in the midst of hyper-scrutiny and fame.

“None of that, to me, is worth it. At the time, it’s very intoxicating, being offered some huge, sexy part that would change your life for ever. But it really wouldn’t, ultimately, be worth it.”
