Love Island 2021 winner Millie Court has revealed she never considered taking the entire £50k prize money in the final, despite her boyfriend Liam Reardon's disloyal behaviour in Casa Amor.
The Essex beauty, 24, and the 22-year-old bricklayer also discussed their marriage plans and moving in together in their first interview after Monday's final episode.
After they were crowned the winners, Millie picked the envelope with the money inside, meaning she could choose to keep the cash herself and leave Liam with nothing, or split it evenly between them – which is the option she ultimately chose.
Sweet: Love Island 2021 winner Millie Court has revealed she never considered taking the entire £50k prize money in the final, despite her boyfriend Liam Reardon 's disloyal behaviour in Casa Amor
Despite Liam's scandal at Casa Amor, which saw him kiss another girl, Lillie, while Millie remained faithful at the main villa, the loyal lady confirmed she is planning to spend both her life and the prize money with the Welsh native.
'No, never [would I not split it]. That didn’t cross my mind,' she said. 'I came on the show to find love at the end of the day, so we said for ages now anything after we found what we found was a bonus.
'Then to receive that money, it was just incredible. But there wasn’t a doubt in my mind - I was going to share that with Liam because we’re about to experience life together.'
Liam added: 'What I have with Millie money can’t buy, any money in the world would mean nothing to me unless I had Millie with me. I would have been splitting it one hundred million percent.'

Although Liam returned to the show without Lillie, attempting to paper over the infidelity, she swiftly entered after him and told Millie what had gone on.
Despite splitting with him at first, Millie eventually took Liam back, with them saying 'I Love You' earlier this week.
Their rocky romance ended on a high during the final episode, with the labourer asking Millie to be his official girlfriend during their live exit interview.
Reflecting on the moment he asked to make their relationship official, Liam added: 'I dropped the "L-bomb" a few days ago and said that I loved Millie and she said the same back, so we’re already a thing we are together but it’s just putting that title on it.
'It was on my mind. Laura asked us the question, ‘Is boyfriend, girlfriend coming next?’ and Millie said, ‘Yes in the future, it’ll be happening soon’ and I thought, ‘Well, it's been on my mind so let’s do it!’
'I couldn’t think of anything more [that I wanted to do] than making Millie my girlfriend because I love her.'
Millie gushed: 'It was a no brainer to say yes. It was a really nice, sweet gesture.'
The couple confirmed a wedding is on the horizon after they were asked how asking to be Liam's girlfriend on TV could top a proposal.
'The proposal is going to have to be massive!' the fashion buyer's administrator insisted.

Liam concurred: 'It’s going to be huge, I’m sure I can pull it out of the bag. I’m sure I can do it.'
As the 22-year-old hunk is based in Wales and his girlfriend resides in Essex, they confirmed they are planning to live closer to one another, with the goal of moving in together next year.
Liam 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
