Love Island's Sean Stone and Matilda Draper have shared a relationship update after their time in the villa ended.

The couple ended up in third place on the summer 2024 series after pairing up on day 22. Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy as part of our Spy in the Villa series, one of this year's longest-running couples explained that they intend to carry on together out in the real world.

"I feel like we want to spend more time with each other, spend time with friends and family, take Matilda to Hertford, spend time with each other on holiday," Sean said.

"I've got a few things planned. Just date nights and enjoying the freedom of this new life we're going into. It's all very exciting, and I'm looking forward to it."

Matilda added: "Just carry on dating, having new experiences together. We've got so many firsts we're about to have. It's just so exciting."

Meanwhile, Sean also set the record straight on his friendship with Joey Essex.

"Me and Joey was a bit of a surprise for me to come out to 'there's this feud, and the friendship has been broken down', but it's all fake news," he explained.
