Perfect Match star Dom Gabriel devastated after Francesca Farago’s shock date with Damian Powers-Rishma Dosani-Entertainment – Metro
‘She told me I could trust her.’
Perfect Match star Dom Gabriel revealed he was ‘very naïve’ over Francesca Farago’s bond with Damian Powers.
The Mole star grew close to the Too Hot To Handle favorite on the new Netflix dating show, designed to give famous faces another chance to find love on the small screen.
Things were looking up for the budding lovebirds when they won a compatibility challenge, which meant they were allowed to bring in new singletons to go on dates with their fellow co-stars.
However, Dom was thrown for a loop when Francesca saw that the Love Is Blind star was among the options of available men, and opted to send herself on the date instead.
‘I didn’t know her history with Damian and a lot of people in the house were bringing it up and asked me if I was worried about it,’ he said in a new interview.
‘You might say I was very naive. But I trusted her and she told me I could trust her.

‘I definitely didn’t see that coming, of her putting herself on that date.’
Speaking to Narcity, he admitted that he ‘fell hard’ for her and reflected on seeing her attention turn elsewhere.
‘If I’m being completely honest with you, yeah it hurt. It was definitely a moment that I was like, I don’t know if I’m built for this,’ he added.
Francesca and Dom were matched up from the very first night in the villa, and remained inseparable throughout many challenges.
