\"\"<\/a>Love Island stars Sean Fitzgerald and Lola Deal<\/p>\n

Lola Deal and S\u00e9an Fitzgerald are settled in Ireland.<\/p>\n

After finding love in Love Island, the duo have been going from strength to strength. Lola left Kent and relocated to Galway.<\/p>\n

Speaking to VIP Magazine, she tells us: \u201cI\u2019ve officially moved over about three weeks ago. I\u2019ve been having the best time ever. We\u2019ve done so much.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love it. It\u2019s so nice. We\u2019re mainly in Galway, which is a lovely seaside town. So it\u2019s like home away from home. That\u2019s really nice. Everyone is so lovely. But I don\u2019t like the weather.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitzy adds that they\u2019ve done plenty of sightseeing, including heading to the Aran Islands and making an appearance at the iconic Galway Races.<\/p>\n

Not only are they exploring Ireland, but they are also working tirelessly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were up late the other night filming stuff for Celebrity Gogglebox. We\u2019re all over the place. There are some things that we can\u2019t say at the minute. We have an Irish management, but we\u2019ve just signed with a new English one. So we have two on the go, which will open more doors for us,\u201d the Galway man reveals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t talk about everything but you\u2019ll see soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sean Fitzgerald<\/p>\n

Lola definitely faced a lot of online backlash during her time on the show, with viewers of the reality series calling her controlling and even accusing her of lying about her job.<\/p>\n

However, she tells us that everyone in person has been so lovely to her, and that she\u2019s not paying attention to online hate anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re always getting stopped in the street. We were going up Shop Street to buy her runners because we wanted to go play some padel. It took an hour and a half. You need to out the head down and go,\u201d Fitzy says with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just one person who comes over and then everyone starts coming over. But it\u2019s so lovely. We get so many lovely messages and people send us the pictures we take together. It\u2019s really cute,\u201d Lola adds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the online aspect, she says: \u201cIt didn\u2019t really phase me too much. Everyone we\u2019ve met in person has been so lovely. Even the online stuff has died down. Even towards the end of the show it had died down, which was really good. No one really says anything anymore. It\u2019s been a hot minute. We just take the piss out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Always eager to show off his cheeky side, the former primary school teacher says: \u201cLike her being a dictator. It was my idea for her to walk me like a dog, which is funny. The Irish get the humour.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, one thing that we won\u2019t be seeing online is those infamous animal impressions!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI am retired from the animal impressions. I\u2019ve got a girlfriend now, I can\u2019t be doing that, I can\u2019t be turning on any other women, only Lola,\u201d he jokes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack then, we weren\u2019t official, so it was okay. Now we\u2019re official; I can\u2019t be doing them. I\u2019ll do them for Lola, obviously, in the bedroom. She doesn\u2019t ask for it too often, but it\u2019s always an option.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds that he would have loved for more of his personality to be seen during his stint on Love Island, but he is glad he can show it off on social media now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wish people got to see more of that on Love Island because I was like that. But no one got to see it. I suppose, they only showed drama and that kind of stuff. But I think from seeing all of the TikToks people have seen what I\u2019m actually like. Now they get to endure it, I wouldn\u2019t say enjoy it!\u201d<\/p>\n
