Love Island winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare shared what it has been like living together, after purchasing their first home just months after meeting on the ITV reality show.
The couple, who both took part in the All Stars edition of the dating show earlier this year, announced their news just a few weeks ago – giving fans a look inside the property on their social media pages.

Molly and Tom shared the news they had bought a house in a video that saw them cracking open a bottle of champagne and playing with their dog in their new garden.
"'Home is where the heart is' – We've officially bought our first home we couldn't be happier," Molly captioned the joint post.
Tom said in a video shared on his page: "If someone would've said to me a year ago I would've met the love of my life and we'd have bought our first home together, I would've said, 'You're absolutely crazy.'
