UILabel not showing in verbose

I am learning Swift at the moment trying to create a simple table view controller and detail view that displays the submitted data by the master (table view controller) via a segue. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I cannot see my shortcut on the detail view (I am testing this on a simulator at the moment). I tried printing it to the console and I can see that the text property of the label is set.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Detail view controller

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    detailItem = ["title": "YES"]
    if let title: String = self.detailItem["title"] {
        if let label = self.titleLabel {
            label.text = title as String?
            println(title)
            println(label)
        }
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Console output

YES
<UILabel: 0x7fc731e2f220; frame = (0 -21; 42 21); text = 'YES'; opaque = NO; autoresize = RM+BM; layer = <_UILabelLayer: 0x7fc731e05ee0>>
