Relationship status: Not together
Catherine is a 29-year-old dental nurse from Jersey, and during her time in the pods she made connections with both Ollie, and 33-year-old funeral director Freddie from Bolton. She soon ended getting to know Ollie, after seeing the strength of his connection with Demi, and focused all her attention on Freddie. And it worked as the pair ended up getting engaged.
While in Corfu together, they got on very well, with Catherine telling producers the couple had sex twice during their first night there. However, after their first night together things started to go downhill, and honestly, have gone from bad to worse.
During their first reunion with all the other couples, Catherine spoke to Ollie, and Freddie confessed it did worry him a little bit. On their next date together in Corfu, Freddie then confessed he’d previously cheated in another relationship but was extremely regretful and tried to prove to Catherine she could trust him, however Catherine was not impressed with this confession and got upset.
On the next group outing the pair seemed uncomfortable with each other and it wasn’t until they returned to their room that Freddie broke down in tears over the moment and the pair reconciled.
Upon returning to London, the couple moved into their apartment and went shopping together, which seemed to give Catherine the ick. They then travelled up north to visit Freddie’s family, who all seemed to like Catherine, however Freddie’s sister questioned their connection and asked Freddie if Catherine was good enough for him.
They then faced another disagreement when on a night out with the rest of the cast, with Freddie getting annoyed at Catherine saying Sam looked like her ex multiple times, and Catherine getting annoyed at Freddie for saying Sharlotte looked good looking twice.
Their next disagreement came in the form of Freddie revealing he wanted to get a pre-nup before they got married and that all of his assets including his house would go to his sister, not Catherine if something happened to him, which upset Catherine.
When meeting Catherine’s friends, Freddie expressed his doubts over their different lifestyles. However, things started looking up when they met with Catherine’s parents who gave them both reassurance the relationship was for them.
However, the reassurance wasn’t enough to make the relationship work. As the couple headed into the wedding it wasn’t clear if the couple would say yes and when they made it down the aisle.
Catherine ended up saying yes to Freddie, however Freddie said he did not want to marry Catherine. He told her that while he loved her he didn’t think the timing was right for them. He added it wasn’t a rejection of her or the love they shared, but that he needed to be honest for the pair of them.
Catherine was understandably upset at Freddie’s decision, and took a moment to herself before being consoled by her friends. Freddie was comforted by his sister and also spoke to Catherine’s parents to explain his decision more.
At the reunion, the pair shared that they are no longer together, after it didn’t work out on their wedding day.
