Love at First Sight shows how romance can strike anyone at any time and in any place and that's certainly the case for strangers Hadley (Haley Lu Richardson) and Oliver (Ben Hardy), who have a chance encounter at the airport.

As they spend a long night on the plane together to London, there is instant chemistry between the pair and they soon find themselves falling in love.

But when they land at Heathrow, the pair are separated and a frantic search around London ensues as Hadley tries to track down the love of her life. It may seem an impossible feat, but fate may have a way of defying the odds.

Let's meet the cast of Love at First Sight...
