Love Is Blind's Jessica Batten sparked up 'secret' romance with third man on the show

Love Is Blind's Jessica Batten was not a fan favourite on the Netflix reality show.

But on set of the social experiment series things were different story as the blonde had no problem in striking up connections with potential suitors.

During the drama-fuelled season it appeared that she was torn between two guys Matt Barnett and Mark Cuevas - before settling on Mark and then going on to leave him jilted at the altar.

However, it has now been revealed that Jessica was also interested in a third man Taylor Lupton - but it was not shown on screens.

Love Is Blind executive producer Chris Coelen is the one who shed light on Jessica's 'secret' third romance during a chat with Metro.

"Taylor Lupton, that guy who talks about being a virgin early on, he actually had a strong connection with Jessica," Chris exposed.

"But ultimately she really zeroed in on being interested in Barnett and Mark.

"We couldn't do justice to everything that happened in the pods."

Jessica has not been popular with fans of the online streaming service's show after stringing lovesick Mark along and not letting go of Barnett - despite him choosing to marry Amber Pike.

She also came under fire after scenes showed giving her pet dog red wine - which left viewers shocked and concerned.

One viewer ranted on Twitter : "can we also just talk about this love is blind clip where jessica is forcing mark to explain that hes mature for a 24 year old while she lets her dog take a big ol gulp of wine from her glass (alcohol is obviously toxic for dogs)."

"WHY IS NOBODY TALKING AB JESSICA LETTING HER DOG DRINK OUT OF HER WINE GLASS ON LOVE IS BLIND" and "The most horrifying thing about love is blind is Jessica letting her dog drink wine #loveisblindnetflix " added others.

The show saw singles get to know each other without ever seeing each other as they chatted through connecting pods.

If they wanted to see each other in person they had to get engaged.

After their engagements they flew off on a luxury holiday to Mexico to get to know each other in person, before living together back in the US.

They then had to decide if they would get legally married when they got to the altar.

Amber and Barnett and Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton were the only two couples to stay together.

Jessica Batten and Mark Cuevas, Kelly Chase and Kenny Barnes and Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers decided not to get married.

The eagerly awaited Love Is Blind reunion show is set to air on Thursday.

*Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix
