Painfully awkward moment Love Is Blind star discovers his new fiancée DOESN’T look like Megan Fox – despite telling him she did before they first met

It’s the Netflix dating show where lonely singles get engaged to people they’ve never even seen before.

So it is perhaps not surprising that one Love Is Blind singleton received a shock when he locked eyes with his fiancée Chelsea Blackwell for the first time. 

Chelsea, a 31-year-old flight attendant, had previously boasted about her resemblance to Megan Fox, claiming that people have told her that she looks just like the actress and sex symbol.

However, Jimmy Presnell, her husband-to-be, disagreed, telling producers that he felt the North Carolina native had ‘lied’ to him about her looks.

'She definitely lied to me on how she looked,' he told producers after meeting the flight attendant for the first time

‘She definitely lied to me on some, uh, on how she looked,’ he chuckled. ‘Chelsea told me she looked like Megan Fox.’

Despite his initial surprise, the software salesman admitted that he still found his future wife beautiful and had no problem with her appearance.

‘At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter,’ he said. ‘I’m very attracted to her – I can work with that.’

He also complimented her in person, gushing that she was ‘gorgeous’ when they first met.

During their time in the pods – where contestants date through a wall without seeing one another – Chelsea said that passengers on her flights often compared her to the Transformers stunner.

Once she said that, Jimmy drastically perked up and looked excited at the prospect of marrying a Megan Fox lookalike. 

Chelsea followed up the comparison by noting that she didn’t necessarily agree that she looks like the actress.

She did, however, acknowledge that what the two have in common is dark hair and blue eyes. 

'At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. I'm very attracted to her - I can work with that,' Jimmy said

The reality star attempted to manage Jimmy’s expectations before she muttered: ‘It’s uh, I don’t even know if it’s MGK’s wife or his girlfriend.’

Jimmy then asked: ‘Megan Fox? You’re saying you look like Megan Fox?’

He smiled and then asked Chelsea: ‘I mean… can we get married?’

Although Chelsea had said herself that she didn’t think she looked like the Jennifer’s Body actress and was only going off of what others had told her, it didn’t stop her from being trolled by viewers of the hit dating series.

One viewer joked, ‘Chelsea is Megan Fox from Temu,’ in reference to the online Chinese retailer known for trendy looks at low prices.

Another posted a string of crying laughing emoji and asked: ‘Megan Fox. Who lied to her?’

They added: ‘And he only picked her cause she said that.’
