Essex girl Millie, who worked as a fashion buyer’s administrator before Love Island, talked about living in domestic bliss with Liam during an interview last month.
She said: ‘Liam is really domestic, he will hoover, clean, do my washing he’s really, really good and he’s also a very good cook so he actually cooks the majority of our dinners but I think that’s mainly because I like a lot of pasta and I don’t think he wants to eat pasta every night.
‘Steak is his favourite, he makes a banging omelette, we probably eat omelettes nearly early day now, he’s trying to teach me but mine just aren’t cutting it.’
Liam, a former bricklayer, explained last month that he missed his hometown in Wales after relocating to Essex to be with Millie.
He said: I live in Essex now with Millie, I’m from a small town in Wales, which I’m very proud of my town and I do miss it but yes my whole life has changed for the better so I’m very grateful.’
