The winners of E4 reality show The Honesty Box have opened up about their future wedding plans, the 'intensity' of the show and why they haven't had the prize money yet
E4's The Honesty Box came to an end tonight after two weeks of watching singles flirt by the pool and try not to fib - as the reality show crowned one particular couple as the most authentic in the cast. It was digital marketer Chantelle from London and Leicester-based barber Jovan who won the series - and its £100,000 jackpot prize.
Now, the couple have revealed that they are still together after winning the show - and they're already talking about marriage. When asked about their future plans, Jovan tells The Mirror: "I'm trying to get married, I can't lie. That's definitely the next step."
‌
Chantelle, who is a religious Christian, adds: "We talk about marriage quite a lot because at the end of the day, I'm a believer so the way I do things and the way I live my life may not be the way that everyone does but it's by the book. When I believe I've found someone that I can see the rest of my life with, that would be ideally the next step.
‌
"So truly we've been working on laying a great foundation so in the future we would have an immovable relationship because we do see each other like life partners." Jovan chips in: "This isn't a little schoolboy relationship."
As for whether they are planning on moving in together, Chantelle admits that she wants a ring on her finger before they take that step.
"No, we're not living together - I need a ring first and then we'll talk about it," she laughs. "Definitely in the future, that goes without saying. I see it all with him."
Despite winning the show, Jovan admits that filming the series proved to be incredibly "intense" for him. "Not knowing what was going to happen that day, what time you're waking up, stuff like that. I thought I could handle it but I was so tired," he says.
"It definitely tested by emotional stability. I'm not as strong-minded as I thought I was. A couple of days in, I was like, 'This is a lot.''
‌
Chantelle adds: "You're used to having your routine and now you're just like your routine, your routine doesn't matter and it's like you're on someone else's time now. It was a very awakening, humbling experience."
While the pair won £100,000 in the finale of the show, they admit that they're yet to receive the cash prize. "No, we haven't got the prize money yet. I think we get it after the show airs," Chantelle says. "We haven't thought that far yet - it's exciting though. I've never seen that much."
Jovan adds: "Because the show was very intense and obviously we met each other, all that other stuff was pushed to the background so I didn't really think about that too much to be honest."
Chantelle says that she plans on spending the money on her mum. "I know my mum is coming first so I really want to spoil my mum. She's my priority. I also want to invest a lot of it because it's easy for money to go and I want to put it into places where I feel it could help others as well."
