Liam Reardon is planning to move to Essex.

The 'Love Island' winner triumphed on the ITV2 dating show alongside girlfriend Millie Court, who is from the south-east England county, and while he wants to move closer to her ahead of moving in with the 24-year-old star at some point, he doesn't want to "add too much pressure" to their relationship by living together straight away.
The Welshman 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 and I will move in together eventually.
"We've been living together in the villa together for the past seven/ eight weeks.
"We don't want to jump into living together straight away because we don't want to add too much pressure."
Fans of the couple have compared them to Mat Horne and Joanna Page's iconic 'Gavin & Stacey' characters, Gavin and Stacey Shipman, who are from Essex and Wales respectively.
And 22-year-old bricklayer Liam is a huge fan of the BBC sitcom.
He said: "I absolutely love 'Gavin & Stacey'.
"It's a classic - Essex/ Wales. It's an amazing show - to be compared to that is a compliment, it's funny.
"It is a real-life Gavin and Stacey."
Millie revealed some of the female Islanders are set to rent a house in Essex, and the lads will do the same - and she is hoping to move in with Liam six months later.
The fashion buyer's administrator said: "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]."
Liam added: "That's exactly how I feel. I think six months then that's the next step, we move in together."
Millie said: "The one thing I want to make sure is that we still stay as strong as we are now."
The couple split the £50,000 prize money between them after winning the show on Monday (23.08.21).
