Before they began shopping, the pair couldn't help but treat themselves to the store's meatballs and some chips.

Liam then revealed the pair were struggling to find the right towels for their new Essex apartment.

In one clip, the Welshman could be heard saying, "Who knew buying towels would be so hard?" as Millie admitted her favourite colour and material weren't in stock.

Despite their towel struggle, it appeared as though they got what they needed for their new abode as they left the shop with a trolley full of goodies.

Marking the day, Millie took to her own Instagram Story and shared a boomerang of Liam jumping for joy alongside the caption: "Our first home shop done."

The pair's home shopping spree comes after they initially said they weren’t going to live together for at least six months after winning the show.

The original plan was for the girls to rent somewhere in Essex and the boys to rent a place for themselves too.

But it seems they’ve had a change of heart, as Liam revealed: "We looked at two apartments today and we are looking at two more tomorrow and we will have a better idea of what we are going with!"

He added: "Exciting times ahead!"

Speaking previously about their plans, the Welsh hunk had said: "I love where I'm from but I would like to venture off and move to somewhere new and Essex seems like the perfect place really.

"I know some of the boys who were in the villa we got on so well and they mentioned moving in together and they’d like to move to Essex so that’s something I would definitely be considering and that’s my plan really, moving to Essex."

Millie agreed at the time, saying: “We haven’t been away from each other yet to miss each other and do those things that you do in normal relationships.

"But us girls [from the villa] will rent a house in Essex, boys will rent a house in Essex, see how that goes for six months and then get a crack on with it [moving in together]."
