Our Response To The Rumours…

0:00Hey guys, how you doing? It's me Jamie here. Hey, firstly, I've missed you all so much. And Sophie is not here today and she misses you guys so much. Like we miss you a huge amount. Now, the bad news is this is me not returning with Sophie to the show. So this is not the announcement that we're coming back just yet. Because I've seen some rumors that apparently we're not coming back to do our podcast. Now, I would leave everything that you read in the press. Okay? We would never leave you guys hanging. That is the truth of it. Okay? So keep us on ice. Sophie's still with Ziggy. She's still on maternity leave.

0:32But things are starting to roll. That's all I'm going to say. No, the reason why I'm here today is because Jampot have launched a brand new show. It's Nearly Weds with Molly and Tom, the beautiful couple from Love Island. Now, if you loved watching and hearing and listening to Sophie and I getting married on our newlyweds journey, you're going to love this because we're there from the very beginning. We're going to see arguments, family fallouts. We're going to see venue hiring, cakes, hen do, stag do, the lot. It is full of everything. And a big thank you for Tom and Molly for letting us into their lives, really into their lives.

1:02So you can go and listen to it. It's out today. we're going to leave you a little teaser of what the show is like. So hopefully, listen to this, and if you enjoy it, you can go and check it out. It's Nillyweds, like with Sophie and I. And for Sophie and I, don't worry, okay? Keep us on ice, because your feeds with us might be very, very busy coming soon. Love you all, and enjoy the new Nillyweds from Molly and Tom from Jam Pot.

6:12You can cook. You are quite a good cook. I'll give you that. I don't know what I'm at. Salmon and ravioli. Ravioli. Ravioli. That famous Italian dish. Ravioli. And then I don't know what else I made. But. And that was it. Long story short, we ended up winning 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. But yeah, and now we're engaged and we're about to to get married get 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 propose but i think i knew i was gonna marry a long time before that i'll be honest yeah i think 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 it yeah Yeah.

7:11So I think I kind of knew fairly. When? Early on. When? Well, I can't give you a date and a time, but I kind of knew that 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, 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 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 going to go to Maldives and Dubai. That's another story. And I was booking it for your birthday.

7:48Yeah. So I was getting it all up, booking it all. And Tom was 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 to know my head i like no one can tell me otherwise yeah so we booked it yeah we said me and you and i had that conversation with you over and over again but we sat there we bought 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're 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 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 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 yeah but the time where i actually got it you was unwell Yeah.

9:32So you told me this after. You was on smoke that day. I was severely poorly. Like I'm talking bed-bound sweats. Couldn't even get out of bed. You had a cold. Take that back. Oh, sorry. Couldn't even get out of bed. That is so rude. I'm glad I give you so much crap now. Okay. 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 different but wow 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 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 that you received 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 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 not even a text off you to check in on me see if i'm okay so to be fair 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 and little did i know 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 um jewelers sat down i didn't know there was so much like different grades you can get for a ring and like yeah there's loads of different stuff yeah but i had an image 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 oh my god do you know what else 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 I'm like shut up I'm getting you a ring well that was your special sneak peek from episode one and And there is loads more to come from this exciting episode, trust me.
