Love Island winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare have cemented their status as a married couple by moving into their new Manchester home.
The reality television stars shared a video on her YouTube channel capturing the moment they picked up the keys to the property. They have completed extensive renovations and plan to do more work to turn it into their forever home.
Molly, 32, and Tom, 27, won the 2024 All-Stars edition of the ITV reality dating show. Two years after their television victory, the couple recently tied the knot.
The pair headed to the house for the first time and immediately began work to transform the master bedroom. Starting with a blank canvas, they added a fluffy cream carpet and matching patterned wallpaper.
House renovations
The vast new property features a grand black and white staircase. This design flows into a swish matching kitchen equipped with marble worktops and a centre island.
The couple shared plans to build a dedicated coffee and protein powder station in the kitchen.
The cooking space leads into an open cream living area. Tom and Molly have filled this room with neutral furniture and a plasma television screen.
Upstairs, the master bedroom includes its own dressing room. The space provides plenty of wardrobe storage for Molly to keep her vast collection of clothes.
Tom revealed the property features a dedicated man cave. He said he was hoping to splash out on a pool table and a table tennis table for the space.
Gym and stone bathroom
The house also features a home gym. Fitness fanatics Tom and Molly noted that the previous owners had left equipment behind, but they have huge plans to make the workout space their own.
The main bathroom features stone tiles and a huge bath that Tom joked he could easily fit inside.
Molly has also started transforming the downstairs toilet by painting it in a dark olive green.
Molly focused her attention on a snug room that she described as her passion project. She revealed the media room had been colour drenched in a dark brown shade.
She said the entire room would be covered in the colour. The couple hope to add multiple television screens to build their own media wall.
Majorca wedding celebrations
Last month, the couple returned from a lavish honeymoon in Turkey. This followed their wedding in Majorca, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean.
The couple admitted the wedding day was everything they expected and more. However, they were met with some unpredictable events on the morning of the ceremony.
When asked if they would change anything about the day, Tom told the Daily Mail about his choice of neckwear.
"The one thing I would change is I would have got not a self- made bow tie," Tom said. "That's the only thing because they're impossible to do."
Molly noted that her groom struggled to get ready.
"You couldn't do it the morning of," Molly said. "You was like trying to watch YouTube and it weren't working."
"Yeah, everyone was help," Tom laughed.
Molly said the situation caused a panic among their staff.
"Yeah, the photographer and videographer came back into my room and was like, 'there's a slight problem. Tom's got no bowtie', I was like, 'great'," Molly said.
Tom said he still enjoyed the chaotic morning.
"But we had a good laugh and I wouldn't change it," Tom added.
Police called to party
Following their vows, the wedding party continued in wild style. A slew of friends, family and Love Island co-stars gathered at the Suculenta Port de Sóller restaurant.
The post-wedding meal ended in chaos. Police were called during day two of the rowdy festivities.
Rumours suggested that best man Casey O'Gorman had been arrested. Tom confirmed that the arrest never actually happened.
"I kind of wish it was something like that, that would have made it better," Tom joked.
The reality star explained that the group had decided to go for a swim.
"Basically, we all just jumped in the sea where there were no signs that we couldn't jump in the sea," Tom said. "And so we were all just jumping in the sea then the local guard gave us a little tap on the wrists and that was it."
Tequila shot tattoos
The celebrations continued on the island. The newlyweds and their guests decided to remember the occasion by getting matching tequila shot tattoos on their ankles.
Molly explained how the spontaneous decision came about.
"I was Googling tattoo parlours in Mallorca because we had already said that we were going to get tattoos, but we were going to do it when we came home, which we did," Molly said.
She realised a shop was close by while relaxing on the sand.
"But whilst we were there, we were at the beach and I was like googling it, I was like, oh, this one literally like 15 minutes away," Molly said.
The group quickly agreed to the idea.
"We were a few tequila deep at that point. Yeah, and then next minute, we were all decided that we were all going to get a matching tequila shot," Molly said. "I don't know how it snowballed into that either."
