00:00You look great, Jasmine.
00:01Thanks, girl. You too.
00:02Thanks.
00:04You look okay as well.
00:05Oh, don't say that.
00:06He's right.
00:08Guys, I'm so glad you made it.
00:10I'm so glad because you just look like the perfect couple as well.
00:15You really do.
00:16Is it really weird for you guys having people like me
00:19and lots of fans of the show really invested in your relationship?
00:23It is because it's been almost a year since the experiment,
00:26since getting married, so now, of course, all of a sudden,
00:28for us, it's been quite a long time.
00:30We just live a normal life and now, of course,
00:32all of a sudden, everyone's talking about your relationship.
00:35It's been really positive, hasn't it?
00:36That's really nice feedback and really nice support.
00:38So, it's been great.
00:39Yeah.
00:40How difficult was it keeping it quiet, though, all this time?
00:43How do you even go out and live your life without...
00:46I mean, I've got such a big mouth,
00:48so I was finding it very difficult to keep it in,
00:51especially, you know, I'm going home to my man.
00:53I'm so happy.
00:54I'm going to work and they're like, you know,
00:56it's OK, you know, you've got this wedding ring on.
00:59And I'm just like, yeah, it's just fashion.
01:01I just, you know, whatever.
01:02But, no, it's been really difficult,
01:04especially when you're so happy.
01:06But, finally, we can, you know, kind of talk about it now.
01:09Yeah, it's been easier for me because I moved to a new city.
01:12I moved to London.
01:13Well, I've been here for a year, but, I mean,
01:15I don't really know anybody, so no-one I can really talk to.
01:18We all know you, then, Bobby!
01:20But I'm always on top of Jasmine, like, you need to keep quiet.
01:23Yeah.
01:24Well, good job, good job.
01:26I haven't seen you around together, so you're fine, you're fine.
01:29One really memorable moment, I think, from the whole show
01:32was when, Bobby, you met Jasmine's mum.
01:35How were you really feeling during all of that?
01:38Your mum's my favourite kind of scary, I think, but terrifying.
01:42I really, like, watching it back, I laughed at it,
01:45because, of course, it's been a long time now
01:47and we've gone through so much and we're a lot closer.
01:50Of course, it didn't go as smoothly as I was hoping, you know.
01:53You want to absolutely smash the first meet for the mum to love you,
01:57but it didn't go as smoothly as I would have planned,
02:00but it wasn't that bad, you know.
02:02I've gone through a lot worse situations,
02:04so, for me, just about staying calm, and, of course,
02:06I think it was a test, it was a test, wasn't it?
02:08How do I handle pressure, you know?
02:10Pressure's going to come in a relationship,
02:12pressure's going to come in a marriage,
02:14so I think I passed the test,
02:16and, since then, we've got a really good relationship.
02:19And, actually, I do like, Jasmine, that you were to your mum,
02:22and I know, mum, you can't be completely involved in every aspect.
02:25And I feel like people didn't see too much of that,
02:28but my mum and I did have a conversation afterwards,
02:31and we did discuss her approach to the situation.
02:35Could have been, you know, kind of tweaked a little bit,
02:37because, at the end of the day, Bobby doesn't know her,
02:40and, obviously, he's someone else's son as well.
02:43So, taking it from that perspective, she kind of understood,
02:46and she did apologise to Bobby the day after.
02:49So, it's all about growing and learning and doing better,
02:51because, when I met his mum, she treated me with nothing but respect.
02:55So, that was kind of like a nice balance.
02:57But, at the end of the day, Bobby passed the test.
03:00You need trials and tribulations, do you know what I mean?
03:03And it just made us stronger, to be honest with you.
03:06Yeah.
03:07The fact that I saw him in that situation,
03:09and the way he handled the situation,
03:12made me think, you know what, this is my man.
03:15This is the type of man that I want around me forever.
03:17Aww! I love that. I love that.
03:20He did well.
03:21He did well. He did so well.
03:24Gold star.
03:26Who else's relationship in the show, the experiment,
03:30have you been invested in as well?
03:32Because, obviously, Jasmine, you kind of got involved in Demi and Ollie's.
03:36Yeah.
03:37You warned Nicole about Sam.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Who else's ones were you very much invested in?
03:43I think, watching it back, because we're so close to them,
03:45especially now, I think Benaiah and Nicole,
03:47because, of course, we know the ending.
03:50The beginning, a little bit rocky,
03:52but now we know how it ends up, and it's a beautiful love story.
03:55So, really nice to watch it back, and just watch them find each other again.
03:59Yeah.
04:00It's been really sweet.
04:01Yeah. No, it's been really nice.
04:02How about for you?
04:03Benaiah and Nicole, we're very close with.
04:05I feel like, just talking about the Demi and Ollie situation,
04:08there are a lot of things that people didn't get to see behind closed doors.
04:11Obviously, my delivery could have been better 1,000%.
04:14I mean, I get it from my mum, right?
04:16But, I think, looking back on that,
04:19me and Demi have had multiple conversations
04:22about her wanting to go home prior to that mixer,
04:26which made me even more annoyed,
04:28because she was my best friend in the pods,
04:30and that wasn't what we had planned.
04:32So, I think that's why I came off a little bit stronger,
04:34because I didn't want her to go home,
04:35and I wanted her to have that fairytale ending,
04:37the same way as what was transpiring for me.
04:40So, that's why it did come across a bit too strong,
04:43but I've learnt my lesson, and you know what?
04:45It was out of love.
04:46Listen, we love a girl's girl.
04:48So, you got my vote. You're good.
04:50You're good.
04:51Guys, I'm so happy to see you together.
04:53I really hope that everything continues going smoothly.
04:56Obviously, all relationships have their difficult patches,
04:59but keep it going, guys.
05:00And keep the friendship and love alive.
05:02Thank you so much. Nice to meet you.
