Love Island’s Sean and Matilda enjoy first romantic date after the villa as he delivers huge blow to ex pal Joey Essex
LOVE Island’s Sean Stone and Matilda Draper enjoy their first romantic date outside the villa.
The couple made it all the way to the final on the ITV show, finishing in third place.
Now, as they adjust to life outside the show, the couple had a date night at The Pearl Beckenham in Kent on Friday (August 2).
Matilda took to her Instagram Stories to share a sweet snap of Sean at the dinner table.
She followed it up with a loved-up photo of herself and the candyman looking happier than ever.
The reality star captioned the snap: “Best first date with my 
.”
It comes after Sean delivered a huge blow to former pal Joey Essex.
While the pair were solid friends during their time on the show, the 24-year-old has since had a change of heart about how genuine their bond really was.
Reflecting on his time in the villa, Sean failed to mention Joey at all – or include him in the photos.
In snaps shared on Instagram, he was seen with Ayo, Ciaran, Ronnie and Omar, as well as Matilda.
In his caption, he wrote: “Wow… Where do I start?!? I would just like to thank everyone for their support throughout my journey.
“This has been an experience I will never forget, so grateful to of met all the amazing people along the way. Friendships and relationships that hopefully last a lifetime, honestly I’m soooooo buzzing & grateful right now!!!!
“I’m looking forward to what the future holds, massive love from the CANDYMAN.
“Big up @loveisland & Big up the sweets @sweet__delivery.”
Sean previously admitted his friendship with Joey is over.
Appearing on the Love Island podcast with Matilda, the candyman explained that he thought Joey was “just playing a game”.
