Who has Sam formed connections with on Love Is Blind UK?

During his time in Love Is Blind UK, Sam made connections with two women. The first was mental health nurse Jasmine, however, after a few dates Jasmine began to think she had seen some red flags in Sam and didn't think his behaviour was genuine, and so she ended their dates, and focused her attention on Bobby.

Sam then focused more of his energy onto other woman he was building a connection with - Nicole. The pair got on well, however Nicole was also interested in Benaiah, who told Nicole he believed Sam wasn't on Love Is Blind UK for the right reasons. Despite this, Nicole continued getting to know Sam and the couple ended up getting engaged.

However (spoiler alert!), just a few days after their engagement the couple broke up as they both felt things weren't right between them. This might not be the last we've seen of Sam though, as in the trailer for next week's episodes Sam reappears in a group setting. Will he try and get Nicole back?
