Got a little grinning from mum when I got back as well
0:01
just about how the way I've been in the villa, they saw everything. She's not ideal, is it
0:07
But yeah, they were watching along. I think naturally, obviously, I'm very big on looks
0:14
and I think I actually went into the villa asking for a petite tan brunette
0:19
I feel like she walked in the villa, she walked in the Casa Villa. So I think naturally, obviously, I was drawn to Lauren
0:24
because of her looks, but then after a few days, we thought that it was more than that
0:28
Obviously we're very very close and touchy-feely so I think a lot of people see that
0:32
But at the same time like the chats are great We always have a lot to talk about, we're always glued at the hip as well
0:38
So I feel like we gravitate towards each other a lot And I feel like that's something that I've seen needing a girlfriend
0:42
So coming out of the villa I had no doubt that we was going to get on and things were going to progress
0:47
Obviously he didn't know who I was but I knew I was going in for him
0:50
I feel like from the moment we met like we literally clicked And we were inseparable since that moment
0:56
But yeah, looks is a big thing for me and he is my type I'm tied to a T, so..
1:00
I literally left with the hope that he was going to leave for me
1:08
I didn't honestly think he was going to leave, just because I just think it was a big risk for him
1:12
Like, we'd left things on not the best of terms. Like, we'd had a rough few days in the villa before I left
1:18
so I just wasn't sure whether he was going to be willing to take that risk
1:23
And obviously, it was the longest 24 hours of not knowing what was going on
1:28
because I was thinking I was going to go home and see him still in the villa
1:31
or is he going to come out? I just had no idea. So obviously when he surprised me
1:35
I honestly couldn't believe it. We were speaking about it the other day I probably don think we watch it back initially because obviously we very very busy But I feel like in the upcoming months i feel like it nice to see our journey and our journey blossom and stuff like that so i feel like maybe in years to come
1:51
we can look back and see like how um how the relationship started sort of thing um but yeah
1:56
obviously we'll be watching from now on until the final obviously i had the 24 hours after lauren
2:03
left and i feel like i reflect on everything not just on whether i wanted to leave the villa how
2:06
I've treated people in there um and obviously when I left I think you all saw that I took
2:11
accountability for my actions um and I think like I said I learned a massive lesson in there I think
2:16
I learned that communication is key um even having awkward uh conversations about where your head's
2:22
at and um stuff like that but there's no there's no handbook on how to to act on a show like that
2:27
and I feel like I just followed my heart um I think I was true to myself um but yeah I feel like
2:31
I need to especially when getting to know people in the future um I think if if I was ever in that
2:37
situation again um I'd handle it a lot differently for sure um just having those awkward conversations
2:42
um about where your head's at and just being more honest about my feelings and and letting people
2:47
know where they stand because I feel like with me being indecisive and and not telling people how
2:51
I actually felt I think I actually upset people's feelings even more um in the villa so yeah I regret
2:58
that massively i have been obviously reading the comments and stuff but i do think like i said to
3:05
harrison when we came out at the end of the day as long as we know where we're at and like as long
3:08
as we're happy really it doesn't matter because they've only seen an hour of our day for the
3:13
journey so they don't really know us as people they've seen an hour clip and that hour's not
3:17
just based on us i just think people have their opinions people are always going to have comments
3:22
about us so I just think as long as me and him
3:26
are happy and we know where we at then it doesn really matter about the comments obviously it never nice to read but I think people are always going to have things to say whether they like you or not they going to have things to say um and it just important that we obviously we
3:38
communicate with each other yeah i try and stay away from the comment section honestly i know
3:42
there's going to be a bit of backlash coming away from the show i feel like as long as laurel and i
3:47
know where we stand with each other and like she said the communication is key um we speak about
3:52
our feeling and things like that i feel like those comments from the outside are never never going to
3:55
get to me but obviously worried about obviously Lauren's perception on things but I feel like
4:00
um she's taking it well so we've got we've had a little bit of backlash which I expected
4:04
from my actions um but yeah like I said I don't read the comments too much um and I feel like
4:09
always people are always going to have things to say about your relationship whether however bad
4:14
however good you've been you've acted sort of thing so I always expected it um but listen I
4:19
take it on the chin and we move forward as a couple so I think obviously we've not really had
4:24
the conversation about where we stand with each other but I feel like it's it's it's obvious we
4:28
know both where our heads are at I think a big thing for me was wanting Lauren to meet my family
4:32
first before I made any big decisions because I feel like getting my family's approval is a big
4:36
thing um so I feel like obviously in the next few days um Lauren's gonna meet my family and then
4:42
we'll go from there I wouldn't have left the villa if I wasn't serious about her and I feel like that
4:46
that showed everyone that how serious I was about her especially Lauren as well um so yeah I'm sure
4:51
the boyfriend and girlfriend label will come very soon. From May up until the show, I was living in Miami
4:59
I think obviously coming back from the show, I've started to debate whether I'm going to go back there or not
5:04
So that's still in the woodworks a little bit. I don't know whether I'm going back or not
5:09
But I think as it stands I think I staying in the UK Obviously we going to make a good go of it And I feel like being around family as well at this time is needed for sure so I feel like not 100 yet but I probably be staying
5:22
in the UK for sure yeah yeah they've watched the show I feel like
5:27
my sister and my mum massive Love Island fans anyway so especially now I'm on there
5:31
yeah they watched they watched every episode to be honest they saw everything
5:36
which is not ideal is it but yeah they were watching along
5:41
They said they were very proud of me and how I acted in there. Obviously got a little grilling from mum when I got back as well
5:46
just about how the way I've been in the villa, which I get is understandable as well
5:50
But yeah, they've been watching every show. It was a weird one because obviously we was all together on the Saturday night
5:56
spent on Saturday night together in a big group. Yeah, but they didn't mention it. But now I'm shocked
6:01
But at the same time, I feel like me and Con always had conversations
6:04
about Megan in the villa. Every time a new bombshell came in or he was getting to know another girl
6:10
I'd always bring up Megan and say how does she compare to Megan
6:14
and things like that. So I feel like it's a good little twist. It'll be interesting to see
6:18
how Conor reacts. Obviously he's coupled with Shakira right now. And like I said, Megan and Conor
6:24
were really, really close when they were together for that five days. So it'll be interesting
6:28
to see what Conor does honestly. I think Conor and Shakira get on really, really
6:32
well but I think maybe it wasn't Shakira's first choice when she went in there
6:36
Obviously they've both been in there from the start and they've only just sort of got it cracking recently
6:40
But I think Conor and Megan had that instant connection sort of thing
6:45
And they look really good together and their conversation is really good. They were always together, like glued at the hip, honestly
6:50
So I feel like Conor and Megan could be a thing, honestly
