What happens when long-distance lovers who've only ever met online actually get to meet in person? That's the premise of Channel 4's five-part reality series, The Nevermets, which has been following five couples separated not only by vast distances but, sometimes, differing cultures. The six-part Channel 4 series has introduced us to people like British catering assistant Sarah, 38, who travelled to the Phillipines to meet a 27 year old Filipino virtual assistant, called Jgoy.
There were tears when Sarah had to travel home, with both admitting they had deep feelings for each other. Also on the show is 17 year old A-level student Jay, aged just 15 when he met now-26 year old Veena in a Game Of Thrones chatroom, but who travelled around 5,000 miles to meet her at home in India.
And charity founder Dumebi, 25, from London and luxury car rental broker Mazi, 27 who lives in Dubai.

Leah and Chad met on a dating site called Seeking, known for its high wealth clientele and for connecting older men and younger women. Leah made the first move and after a few messages were exchanged, they began video calling. But viewers were fuming as Leah travelled to meet Chad – despite admitting she'd met someone else back home – with many saying the same thing about their relationship.
