The reality star couple is ready to take their relationship to the next level as they talk about marriage and starting a family.
The duo originally tied the knot on the E4 show to Brad Skelly and Adrienne Naylor respectively, but both romances ended up leading to their surprise union.
Speaking in an interview with OK! MagazineMatt, 29, and Shona, 31, said they would like to get married in the UK so their family can attend and have an “amazing honeymoon in Bali”.
Matt said: ‘We definitely want to get married. Getting married abroad would be lovely but logically we would do it in the UK for the family that is coming. We need money, so there won’t be any rings anytime soon!
‘But I would love to propose to her at some point. We’ll see how next year goes financially, but it’s definitely up for grabs!’
Shona added: ‘Yes, we have talked about getting married. Matt has said that he will wear a kilt because my family is Scottish. We’ve talked about engagement rings, only we need the money first.
The couple went on to say that they are also on “the same page with the kids” and hope to have two.
