LOVE ISLAND'S MOLLY MARSH AND ZACHARIAH NOBLE TALK ABOUT LIFE IN THE REAL WORLD AFTER FINDING LOVE IN THE VILLA

- LESLEY JONES

When Love Island’s Zachariah Noble made a heartfelt declaration to girlfriend Molly Marsh before they left the Majorcan villa in fourth place, he made viewers swoon. Could the couple’s roller-coaster of a love story be one that lasts on the outside?

Meeting the pair on our exclusive shoot at Molly’s family home near Doncaster, we’d say the signs are good.

“We haven’t left each other’s side and there’s been so many exciting things to do,” says Molly, 21, who has invited OK! to meet the extended Marsh family, having only just introduced them to Zach, 25, days before.

A close-knit and friendly family, we can’t imagine anything but a warm welcome for Zach, but how petrified did he feel when he turned up at the home to meet the entire clan for the first time?

“You know, I definitely had nerves beforehand,” he smiles, when we sit down to hear all the latest news from the couple. “Obviously I had been introduced to Molly’s parents at the villa but then to meet all her family and friends… I have a very small family so it was the opposite of what I am used to. But they were all so lovely and welcoming.”

Molly looks touched as she replies, “I knew they would be. They were so excited to meet you, but I just thought, “Oh my goodness, this is the biggest thing for you – to meet all of my family at once!”

As we take our exclusive shots, the couple share laughs with the family and we can already tell Zach feels at ease with the Marshes.
