And now they've FINALLY got their own place.

The reality couple - who exclusively revealed to The Sun that they started dating at the start of 2020 - have moved into their own pad.

Connagh, who starred in the first ever series of winter Love Island last year, told The Sun Online: “We moved in about a month ago. It’s going great and we are both loving living in a new city together. 

“I know Beth has previously said I deserve a medal for putting up with her during lockdown but I think it is the other way round.

"Believe me, she deserves a medal all day long!”

Geordie lass Beth, who has described her other half "keeper," shot to fame on the second series of the Channel 4 reality show in 2019.

The pair had two dates before lockdown and then they had to put up with FaceTiming each other when we were told to stay inside to stop the spread of Covid-19.

She has previously opened up about the struggles of getting into a new relationship during lockdown, and the added pressure of being with her parents.

Beth explained: “We’ve had our whole relationship in my parent’s house because we were going to move out and that has just been a massive strain.

"We kind of went from just dating to like moving in together.

“I think it does kind of show that we can stand the test of time.”

The lovebirds started dating at the beginning of 2020.

Connagh and Beth met up in London last February after messaging over Instagram shortly after Connagh left the Love Island villa.

A source told us at the time: “They both came into London, had dinner at Honest burger, then had drinks at Novikov. 

“They stayed the night at Melia Hotel in Kensington before leaving the next day. They really like each other and they’re seeing how things go.”

Beth was previously linked to The Circle co-star Jack Quirk.

The pair started dating after they joined forces on the show to pretend to be 62-year-old Joyce.

However in the real world they didn't last long.

Connagh also hasn't had much luck in the dating game before meeting Beth.

He entered the Love Island villa on day five and chose to couple up with Sophie Piper.

However the feelings weren't reciprocated and he was dumped from the island after failing to couple up with anyone.

Season five star Connagh, who recently joined celebrity video platform Get Close And Personal, said that this series of Love Island is too close to call.

He said: “Anyone could win it.
