Freddie Powell is no exception after he asked his partner Catherine Richards for a prenup before their wedding, leaving fans wondering how much he gets paid. So who is Freddie? From his age, height, job and Instagram to just how much he gets paid. Here’s what we know.
What is Freddie from Love Is Blind UK's job? How much is he paid?
Freddie works at a funeral home in Salford where his position is a funeral director. The reality star has openly admitted on the show that his morbid profession has scared off potential love interests in the past.

According to Job search site Indeed, funeral directors make roughly £23,834 a year. The site revealed that this figure had been calculated based on 736 salaries reported to the site from those in similar positions.
Whilst we can’t confirm whether this is how much Freddie takes home, he has obviously been doing well enough to want to protect his assets.
