Paul started off his career as an analyst at an investment bank before starting his matchmaking firm PCB Agency in 2009.
He went on to co-star on Oprah Winfrey’s show Lovetown before replacing Eden Blackman on Celebs Go Dating in 2018, where he became known as the Love Doctor.
Paul, his wife Jill, and their two sons had been living in Washington with the idea of moving to Jamaica.
This was until Paul was offered the Celebs Go Dating job and the family instead moved to the UK.
Paul added: “That’s the highest commitment that you can make in life, in my opinion, that’s the biggest decision that you can make in life that dictates everything else – happiness, how long you live, etc.
“So we’re dealing with this hypersensitivity around this very, very important question.”
It is the job of the experts to try and remain impartial, giving helpful guidance to all of the stars in MAFS UK.
But some viewers felt that Paul was blaming Duka for Whitney choosing to write “leave”.
He told Duka: “She needs to know how you’re feeling, because unless she knows how you’re feeling, you appear fake. I need you to show some emotion.”
One Twitter user wrote: “Paul calling #duka out for coming across as fake – which is what #Whitney has been saying for 3 weeks & we all thought SHE was being awkward. This is way too heavily edited.”
While another agreed: “I hate this solidarity that Paul is doing with Whitney because I do get what he saying about Duka’s lack of vulnerability but who want to be vulnerable when there with a hungry shark #MAFSUK.” (sic)
MAFS UK continues every Monday to Thursday at 9pm on E4.
