EXCLUSIVE Love Island's Millie Court admits watching back her flirting with boyfriend Liam Reardon on the ITV show makes her 'cringe massively'
Millie Court has admitted that watching back her flirting with boyfriend Liam Reardon on Love Island makes her 'cringe massively'. The reality stars won the seventh series of the ITV show in 2021 and had a year-long relationship before briefly splitting in July 2022. They have since reconciled and have been going from strength to strength, with the pair reflecting on their romance during Love Island's 10-year special, set to air on Sunday. Millie explained: 'Any moment of me and Liam flirting on TV makes me cringe massively. I actually can't watch that! 'But the moment Liam got up on stage and read out a letter he wrote for me… I always look back and think that was really sweet of him as I know how nervous he must have been.

'That was the moment I knew I was going to forgive him and thank god I did because look where we are now!' Liam agreed with Millie, adding: 'Most scenes of myself in the villa make me smile but also cringe! It's something about watching yourself on television as a young 21-year-old who thought they had it all figured out. 'Returning to the villa after Casa Amor and being the centre of all the drama around the firepit was definitely a cringe moment for me.' Despite the 'cringe' moments, Millie said Love Island has changed her life for the better: 'Love Island changed my life dramatically, but all for the better. 'I met the love of my life, my career sky rocketed and I've had opportunities I never even dreamed of because they felt so far out of reach. I will be forever grateful to Love Island for giving me the best gift of life I could possibly ask for.' In June Millie openly 'hinted' she is ready for Liam to pop the question and has already 'showed' him the style of engagement ring she would like. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, she said: 'He's the one in control of proposing and I've gave a little hint and showed him a ring that I would like. 'Not that it means he'll do it any time soon but I thought better he knows now so when he does decide to, in the future, he knows what ring I like. 'He also knows what I would like proposal-wise as well, so where it would be and stuff'. Millie went onto say that the couple have been much happier in their relationship since 'doing long distance'. She said: 'It's amazing, he lives in Wales now and I'm in Essex so we're doing long distance but it's actually working really well. 'We managed to get that time together where I'll come down to Wales for a week, he'll come down to Essex, and it's almost like it's working because the time that we have apart we can crack on with work and solely focus on that. 'Then when we're together we really look after our relationship and actually spend quality time together.' The reality star admitted the pair 'struggled' with balancing a relationship as well as fame after first coming off Love Island, but despite splitting for a short period of time they 'always knew they wanted to be together'. Speaking as the face of VO5's Summer Festival Edit, Millie told MailOnline: 'I just think that we've got used to life as it is now. 'I think coming off the show as many couples, it is a struggle to sort of navigate this new life as well as navigating a relationship. 'So having that time apart meant that we could really get to terms with this new lifestyle and everything sort of happening with that. 'Then when we came back together it was like we'd got used to it and we were in a much more comfortable position with life and career and it meant that we could fully focus on our relationship 'We always wanted to be together, we knew that, it was just timing that was hard and it's much better this time around.' It comes after Love Island has confirmed exactly which show legends will be returning for its hotly-anticipated 10-year special. It was revealed last month that the ITV dating show is commemorating its 10th anniversary by welcoming back a whole host of its biggest stars. The one-off special, titled Love Island: A Decade of Love, will take on a 'Gogglebox style format' as the Islanders will revisit the show's most iconic moments. Airing in June, the episode will feature exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes insights as fans are given the chance to catch up with some of their favourite stars. And now, ITV has revealed exactly which Islanders will be back on screens with Dani Dyer , Curtis Pritchard and lovebirds Liam Reardon and Millie Court all set to return. Georgia Steel will no doubt revisit her iconic 'I'm loyal' catchphrase as she will make a comeback alongside series two winners Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey. The show's other successful couples Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan and Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope will also be back to give fans an update on their love stories. Gabby Allen, who recently split from her All Stars boyfriend Casey O'Gorman, is also returning once again alongside the likes of Hannah Elizabeth, Anton Danyluk, Whitney Adebayo and Catherine Agbaje . Lastly, Montana Brown - who welcomed her second child with fiancé Mark O'Connor at the start of the year - will also be gracing screens again. Creative Director Mike Spencer said of the special: 'We've had an incredible ten years of love, drama and unforgettable moments in the villa - now it's time to look back and celebrate the icons who made it all happen. 'Expect big laughs and plenty of heart as we revisit a decade of Love Island magic.' While Paul Mortimer, Head of Reality, added: 'Love Island has become a true phenomenon over the past decade, delivering must-see TV moments every summer. 'This special offers viewers a chance to relive some of the show's most iconic moments with the Islanders who made them so memorable.' The special will air on ITV2 and ITVX ahead of the brand new summer series, which returns to Majorca this June.
