Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone told us they’re still going strong after Love Island - despite plenty of people doubting they’d last.

We caught up with the couple on the National Television Awards red carpet where they made their first public appearance together. They opened up about proving people wrong and life together outside the villa.

00:00I've always skipped to the USA getaway.
00:02Yeah, we were told to actually skip to the USA getaway.
00:05And I'm very glad we did, actually.
00:07You two still together? Isn't that so lovely?
00:10Do you get that reaction much?
00:11Yeah, it's a bit rare these days, you get a couple.
00:14How long has it been now?
00:15Seven months coming up to seven months.
00:17He's not counting, is he?
00:18No, it can't each day. Every hour, every second.
00:21I actually introduced Love Island on ITV2.
00:23I'm the one that goes for that old humour and sexual references.
00:26Oh my god, it rings a bell!
00:27Oh my god, yeah!
00:29I've been doing it every series.
00:30Wow!
00:31Now I see the face behind the boys!
00:33So how are the sweets, first of all?
00:35Because I saw you, you were in the car,
00:37were you in the car being like these things are horrible or something?
00:40Do you remember?
00:42Er, I don't know!
00:43Some of them I'm not a fan of.
00:45Some of them I love.
00:47But no, don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest fan of sweets delivery.
00:50Done much packing of the old sweets?
00:52I haven't actually had a day of packing yet.
00:54You've been to the HQ, but I don't think it's Lucinda.
00:57Yeah, but I will, I mean.
00:58And are you going to propose with a sweetie ring?
01:02I don't think the Haribo ring's going to cut it.
01:04It might be part iconic, but I'm not sure.
01:07So tell me where you've been at NTA today.
01:09I mean, isn't it lovely to be here?
01:10I'm really excited.
01:11It's amazing.
01:12It's our first red carpet together and I'm feeling really excited.
01:16Yeah, just really buzzing really.
01:17And what about those haters then?
01:18Have we got a message for the haters that didn't really believe in the relationship?
01:22We weren't mentioning names.
01:23You know what?
01:23I think we've seen so many positive comments after.
01:26People who may have thought we wouldn't last on the outside.
01:29And I feel like everyone's come around to it now.
01:31And just, I mean, we've just been really enjoying our life together really.
01:35And the way that you're looking at him is just like, you guys are obsessed.
01:38I love him.
01:39So what about the family?
01:41Are they all met properly and you've fed a lot of time together?
01:43No, the families haven't actually met yet.
01:45That is soon to come.
01:47It's my dad's, well, my dad's birthday in the month.
