Although the hunky funeral director (words we thought we’d never say until Freddie appeared on our screens) didn’t find love on the show after his relationship with Catherine Richards came to an end, it’s safe to say that he stole the hearts of everyone watching.

Here’s everything you need to know about Freddie including how old he is and where things stand with Catherine now…

What happened between Freddie Powell and Catherine Richards?

Freddie and Catherine hit it off in the pods, bonding over the fact their grandparents had the the same names. Although she also had another connection with Ollie Sutherland, Cat shut that down to commit to Freddie and he asked her to marry him.

Their spark only grew when they laid eyes on each other for the first time, but a spanner was thrown in the works during their trip to Corfu when Freddie admitted he'd cheated in the past. As someone who'd been cheated on "in every relationship", Catherine wasn't impressed with Freddie's past infidelity.

Tensions started to grow between the pair and this only intensified when Freddie brought up the idea of a prenup just before their wedding day, which, of course, did not go down well with Catherine. On the big day, Freddie's sister pulled him to one side to share her concerns that he and Catherine weren't compatible. He then decided not to marry her, leaving Catherine in tears.

Despite Freddie not wanting to shut the door on their relationship, it was confirmed at the reunion that he and Catherine didn't rekindle their relationship and she's since moved on with their co-star Jake Singleton-Hall.
