Undateables fans fall in love with Ian as he tries to find soulmate before he becomes blind
Ian has a degenerative eye condition and currently only has 8% of his vision left
UNDATEABLES fans were left utterly besotted by one star on tonight's show, who was trying to find love before he became completely blind.
Ian has been losing his sight since birth due to a degenerative eye condition and only has eight per cent of his vision left - but is keen to find his soulmate.
He explained that in layman's terms it was like tunnel vision, adding: "It's a hard concept to wrap your head around - that you're going blind."
Ian heartbreakingly revealed: "I want to appreciate their beauty before I can't see them anymore - this is why I'm ready to start living life again."
Despite his loss of sight, he works as a photographer.
He admitted that he had lost a lot of confidence while his sight has deteriorated and said, tearing up: "It takes me long to tell people because I'm petrified what their response will be."
Ian ended up going on a date with Charlotte and while this didn't work out, he revealed that his confidence had grown as a result.
