Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury "don’t count" their ‘Love Island’ romance as real.
The couple – who came second on the show – regard the beginning of their relationship as being when they left the famous villa because there was no way they could have had a genuine bond while on camera because there isn’t a true "test".
She explained to The Sun Online: "Tommy and I always say we don’t count our relationship in the villa, we count it from when we have been out because that’s not real life.
"The villa is not the real world, you can’t have a real relationship in there and that is what you have been shown by all the people who have broken up.
"In the villa it is very easy to fall in love, the real test and the real relationship, and how long you have been with that person is when you are out of the villa.
"We haven’t had one bicker since being out of the villa or even a raised voice, he’s the perfect boyfriend – there’s not one thing I could ask more of him."
While other relationships have crumbled since the show ended, Molly-Mae is proud that she and Tommy are still together after they faced so many doubters.
She said: "It is funny because everybody thought we were the most questionable couple on whether we were real or not, and now we are going stronger than ever and I think everyone is seeing that now.
"I see tweets saying: ‘Isn’t it funny we doubted Molly and Tommy but they are the ones still together’, and it is so nice because when I came out and saw all those horrible tweets it was frustrating.
"I knew they’d all get proven wrong soon anyway, it was just a matter of time before people realised we are completely real."
