Love Island’s Liam denies meeting Millie before the show

He’s not having it.

As we watched Millie and Liam’s love story on Love Island but it wasn’t long into their journey before fans started doing a deep dive on their social media.

And the further they scrolled, the sooner they figured out that the couple may not have first met in the Love Island villa.

Three years ago, the couple both went on the exact same holiday, posting snaps from the same place only a matter of days apart.

While it is a popular holiday location, especially for young people, it is still a massive coincidence that the pair were there at the exact same time.

In 2018, Millie posted a snap of her at a luxury Ibiza beach resort O Beach and she wasn’t alone as Liam posted a picture of him and some friends, tagging the same location.

Some people were so convinced of this that they thought Millie was even in the background of Liam’s photo, but according to the man himself, this isn’t the case.

During a Q&A session on Instagram, the Welsh native was asked: “Was Millie actually in that pic of you in Ibiza 3 years ago?”

Shutting it down, Liam said: “Not sure who it is but it’s definitely not Millie.”

Well, he certainly cleared that one up.

The couple made history on this year’s Love Island as they were the first two bombshells to ever win the series, with every other winner having an original islander in the couple.

The pair officially became boyfriend and girlfriend during the live final, despite saying they loved each other and becoming exclusive earlier in the show.

And as they pair seemed to move fast, it’s only getting faster with Liam saying he plans to move to Essex to be closer to Millie.

He said: “I love where I’m from but I would like to venture off and move to somewhere new and Essex seems like the perfect place really.

“I know some of the boys who were in the villa we got on so well and they mentioned moving in together and they’d like to move to Essex so that’s something I would definitely be considering and that’s my plan really, moving to Essex.

“Millie and I will move in together eventually. We’ve been living together in the villa together for the past 7/8 weeks.”
