2:33Jamie Laing: Sound. Go on, then. You tell them.

2:37Molly: So, to anyone who doesn't know, me and Maul, we met on Love Island All Stars. We both went on separate serieses. Serieses. What? Series? Series. Separate series. Separate series. Yeah. Didn't work out. We went back on All Stars and here we are now.

2:56Jamie Laing: I know. And it was quite tragic, the first part of my All Stars journey, until you walked in. Of course.

3:02Molly: You were in right at the start. Was it night one?

3:06Jamie Laing: Night one I went in.

3:07Molly: Bit of a crazy entrance.

3:08Jamie Laing: And then I was in there for, I think it was around 10 days before you showed up and I was actually ready to leave. I was like... You were going to go, weren't you? Yeah, I was going to go. I was going to pack my bags and go.

3:17Molly: I didn't realise how close you actually were to going.

3:20Jamie Laing: But I think you were, from what he's told me, you were talking about me. I was gunning for you. I'll be honest, I was gunning for you, yeah.

3:28Molly: Go on, tell him. I was gunning the right words. I mean, I'm like, come in, gunning. I don't know.

3:32Jamie Laing: I'm trying to attack you. What was you texting the producer?

3:36Molly: So there's a producer called Coco. Lovely woman, but I was in Holden. I think I was in Holden for like 17 days.

3:42Jamie Laing: That's a long time. I know.

3:43Molly: I was loving it. I was on the beach. I was chilling in South Africa. And you'd get an update every other day. and I'd be ringing her, I'd tell my chaperone, oh, ring her, like, when am I going in? Because I was always going for you. So when we were on the phone, I'd be like, how's my girlfriend? Obviously, we didn't know each other then. I'd be like, how's my girlfriend?

4:01Jamie Laing: It's Starcruish, that, isn't it?

4:02Molly: Yeah, a bit weird, actually.

4:03Jamie Laing: It's like that You Netflix program.

4:06Molly: Hello, you.

4:06Jamie Laing: Yeah, that was you. I should have done that one. That was you. Hello, you.

4:11Molly: But yeah, basically, when you're a bombshell or when you're going in, you have to give your top three of who you like. and you was always number one. But you didn't never believe me.

4:21Jamie Laing: No, I didn't. So I made him prove it.

4:23Molly: So basically, long story short, after when we came out, I got my chaperone to send me screenshots and that kind of clarified it.

4:29Jamie Laing: I sound crazy right now. She was like, no, you didn't prove it.

4:31Molly: No, you didn't. You never liked me.

4:33Jamie Laing: No, I didn't. But you were saying I was top of the list like all the time. So I was like, well, prove it then.

4:38Molly: You were. And then what happened when I first walked in, sorry?

4:41Jamie Laing: Completely, completely blanked me. I don't know why. He said hello to every other person in there, guys and girls, give all the girls a hug and completely blanked me.

4:51Molly: I don't know why. Honestly, I think I must have been a little bit nervous, maybe.

4:54Jamie Laing: But then at the fire pit, obviously because of that situation, I was thinking, oh, he's not interested then. Like, this is just another person that's come in that is not interested. I'm just sat at the end of the fire pit and I kind of, like, checked out. No, no, no. No, I did because I thought, well, he's got history with other people in here. I'm just like, he didn't even say hello to me, so. Yeah, I don't know why I did that. I started just, like, looking around. And you were talking away to everyone. And I was just like looking around and thinking.

5:21Molly: Okay, your face wasn't like that. I'll be real, your face. I'll tell them what actually happened. That's the truth. Went to the fire pit with the girls, chatting to everyone. You're right on the end. I'm thinking, why is she on the end? Like, sit next to me. Everyone's engaging with me. Say I'm sat there. You're like this. I'm thinking, oh, my God, this girl doesn't fancy me. I've told all the producers I fancy it and then what's the point

5:51Jamie Laing: in giving my energy to someone who can't even say hello to me of course

5:54Molly: now I understand

5:55Jamie Laing: and I wasn't intentionally doing it I was kind of just a bit like well but you just checked out

5:58Molly: of the hole I was yeah

5:59Jamie Laing: I was ready to go home and then you picked me for the date the main course don't know why I can't cook so I thought I'd give you food you can cook

6:08Molly: you are quite a good cook I'll give you that

6:11Jamie Laing: I don't know what I'm it salmon and ravioli ravioli

6:15Molly: that famous italian dish ravioli and then i don't know what else i made you but then that was it long story short we ended up winning yeah love island all-stars crazy and now we're here first episode of our new podcast big thanks to jamie and sophie by the way because we actually love watching your podcast um but yeah and now we're engaged and we're about to to get married get

6:40Jamie Laing: married should we talk a little bit about our engagement and how it all went down where do we start well with you when did you know that you were going to propose i think not necessarily

6:54Molly: propose but i think i knew i was gonna marry a long time before that i'll be honest yeah i think

7:00Jamie Laing: it's weird because with being in love island you're kind of with each other 24 7 so you get that taster of being like living with you yeah so i think i kind of knew fairly when early on well i can't give you a date and a time but i kind of knew that like i was going to be with you forever yeah but then it's down to you isn't it i initially wanted to do it in south africa

7:24Molly: cape town where we met where we had our first date on the show but logistics wise i just didn't think it was going to work yeah but I was that's what I was wanting to do initially and then we was going away on holiday we went to Maldives and Dubai no we were gonna go to Maldives that's another story and I was booking it for your birthday yeah so I was getting it all up booking it all and Tom was

7:47Jamie Laing: adamant that you wanted to go to Maldives weren't you you were like no no I really want to go to the Maldives as well so I was like right well we were going with my best friend and her husband so I was like the weather is shocking in the Maldives at the minute and I was showing you the weather app even my friend was as well and you were like no no no I want to go when I get

8:04Molly: to my head I like no one can tell me otherwise yeah so we booked it yeah we said me and you

8:10Jamie Laing: and I had that conversation with you over and over again but we sat there we booked the Maldives and literally I'm talking 30 seconds after it was confirmed you stood up started pacing around the living room going oh my god what have we done the weather look at the weather molly look at the weather and i was like i did tell you this and you were like i don't remember you telling me this i thought i can't i can't with you right now so i'm looking thinking why are you getting so stressed about this cancelled cancelled it all yeah completely cancelled it all i wasn't thinking straight but then fast forward we love dubai we've been a few times it's kind of a bit like a home

8:48Molly: from home for us and i felt like i know quite a few people there i feel like i could make it an amazing setup i feel confident that i can do it there but i have no ring so i had to i had to get a ring so i was searching obviously i was speaking to sophie your best friend a lot for advice and you sent me a few tiktoks of like engagement and stuff every guy out there who's probably not engaged yet i'm sure your missus is currently sending you it's like when your phone's lying

9:16Jamie Laing: around and i'm going ring ring ring engagement ring so that when you next pick it up your TikTok's flooded with all sorts.

9:23Molly: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the time where I actually got it, you was unwell.

9:27Jamie Laing: Yeah. So you told me this after.

9:29Molly: You was on smoke that day.

9:31Jamie Laing: I was severely poorly. Like, I'm talking bed-bound sweats. Couldn't even get out of bed.

9:38Molly: You had a cold.

9:41Jamie Laing: Take that back.

9:42Molly: Oh, that's all right.

9:44Jamie Laing: Couldn't even get out of bed. That is so rude. I'm glad I give you so much crap now. Couldn't even get out of bed. couldn't go downstairs to get a glass of water i was literally like really severely poorly and tom decides to turn around to me and go i'm off to play paddle all day so i thought all right that's fine i mean if it was roles reverse you wouldn't let me leave the house so i was like okay you'll go and play paddle for a little bit and then he'll come back and it'll be fine no he left at probably about half eight in the morning and didn't come home until seven o 'clock at night no way 100 i'm gonna check the ring camera okay so anyway i think it got to about two o 'clock i must have started sending text messages and these weren't the nice text messages

10:31Molly: that you received no they weren't that nice i'm not gonna lie nope no i weren't i was hoping that you were losing that paddle and that you injured yourself but i was like i hope you're joking you

10:41Jamie Laing: better be on your way home i've not even been able to get out of bed for a glass of water like I've literally just been like dying in bed and I've had not even a text off you to check in on me and see if I'm okay.

10:52Molly: I should have done that to be fair.

10:53Jamie Laing: So I'm there sending him all these texts like you better be on your way home. How long does paddle take? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And little did I know.

11:01Molly: Me and Mag, your best friend's husband, helped me out a lot to be fair. Helped me out a hell of a lot. We went to the jewellers, sat down. I didn't know there was so much like different grid

11:14Jamie Laing: you can get for a ring and like yeah there's loads of different stuff yeah but i had an image

11:19Molly: in my head how i wanted it and how what i know you would like but i did a few little bits to myself so there we are we've got the ring all sorted all boxed off open your phone abusive text messages i opened my phone i think he'd sent me something like where are you and i felt like i said to mark i was like if only she knew i just felt like saying i thought turn around send your voice So I'm like, shut up, I'm getting you a ring.
