Now, as they adjust to life outside the show, the couple had a date night at The Pearl Beckenham in Kent on Friday (August 2).

Matilda took to her Instagram Stories to share a sweet snap of Sean at the dinner table.

She followed it up with a loved-up photo of herself and the candyman looking happier than ever.

The reality star captioned the snap: “Best first date with my ❤️.”

It comes after Sean delivered a huge blow to former pal Joey Essex.

While the pair were solid friends during their time on the show, the 24-year-old has since had a change of heart about how genuine their bond really was.

Reflecting on his time in the villa, Sean failed to mention Joey at all – or include him in the photos.

In snaps shared on Instagram, he was seen with Ayo, Ciaran, Ronnie and Omar, as well as Matilda.

In his caption, he wrote: “Wow… Where do I start?!? I would just like to thank everyone for their support throughout my journey.

“This has been an experience I will never forget, so grateful to of met all the amazing people along the way. Friendships and relationships that hopefully last a lifetime, honestly I’m soooooo buzzing & grateful right now!!!!

“I’m looking forward to what the future holds, massive love from the CANDYMAN.

“Big up @loveisland & Big up the sweets @sweet__delivery.”

Sean previously admitted his friendship with Joey is over.

Appearing on the Love Island podcast with Matilda, the candyman explained that he thought Joey was “just playing a game”.
