She adorably added: "From beginning to end, it was always him."

Talking to Indiyah Polack on the Love Island: Aftersun podcast about when they knew they were in love, Nicole said it happened early on and she was worried but she was put at ease when Ciaran said it first.

"And then I said it straight back because I knew the way I felt straight away... it was literally within like week three," she said

Ciaran remembered a moment he was watching Nicole dancing on a table with the other girls and he said, "something in me just flipped and I was just terrified to tell her".

With them both back in Wales it looks like Nicole and Ciaran will be meeting the family and friends very soon. We can't wait to see what's next for this couple!
