When Callum Jones chose to couple up with Molly Smith after Casa Amor during this year’s series of Love Island, it produced one of the most iconic TV moments of the year.
The dramatic scene saw Callum choose model Molly over former flame Shaughna Phillips, leaving fans of the ITV2 show shocked and wondering if Callum and Molly would stand the test of time upon returning to the UK.
Well, eight months down the line, the couple have proved the doubters wrong, and new can exclusively reveal the exciting news that they’ve moved into their first home together. When we arrive at the gorgeous four-bedroom house in Manchester, the lovebirds can’t wait to show off their new place, from the stylish kitchen to their fabulous walk-in wardrobe.
Before making the leap to renting a place of their own, the pair were living at Molly’s parents’ house nearby.
“Callum turned up with his suitcase and moved in with us for lockdown,” laughs Molly. “My mum and dad love him. Callum was cooking for them, so he’s already got brownie points for that!”
The quality time together only made their romance blossom further, with former scaffolder Callum telling us, “Lockdown definitely made us stronger, 100%.”
“We got on so well,” adds Molly. “The only thing we bickered about was how much Callum plays Call Of Duty!”
The pair, who recently starred in Love Island: What Happened Next?, moved into their new home last month and they have been joined by Molly’s adorable Pomeranian, Nelly.
“She was front and centre for the pictures,” laughs Molly. “She loves a photoshoot.” Aww!
