Today we hear from this years runner-up couple Millie Court and Zac Woodworth, don’t miss tomorrows final installment when we hear from Samie & Ciaran.
How do you feel to have reached the final?
Millie: “Amazing, I’ve loved every second of this journey and really happy I’m in the final with Zac.”
Zac: “I feel incredible. I’m grateful to have a completely polar opposite experience of my first time around and I couldn’t be happier than my result with Millie.”
What is it that you like about each other so much? What’s your favourite thing about each other?
Millie: “I really liked Zac because he’s very similar to me in terms of my outlook on life, positive people, quite happy, stay out of drama. It was really nice to have those similar qualities and have so much in common with him. He’s a true gentleman, the biggest gentleman I’ve met. That’s fact.”
Zac: “Our similar mindsets on life and her emotional intelligence. Empathy, optimism, she’s just a sweetheart.”
What’s the thing you’re most excited to do as a couple in the real world?
Zac: “Travel!”
Millie: “Zac’s coming straight to the UK, getting an Air bnb, then pop home, then stay in the UK for a month or two, then I’m going to go to America with you… then after America, the world!”
Zac: “Sums it up!”
Your first kiss was like a movie/ dubbed best kiss ever – how do you feel about that?
Millie: “I know that that was my best kiss ever, but I didn’t think other people would look at it and think ‘best kiss ever’, so chuffed people could see that and know I wasn’t lying!”
Zac: “Sparks were definitely flying, it was like the 4th of July, in South Africa, with a UK girl.”
Millie – you were hailed as ‘iconic’ for dumping your own couple. How did it feel in the moment and what was it like seeing Charlie back in the Villa recently?
Millie: “In the moment it felt good because I didn’t want to be in a couple with him and it felt like the right decision to make and I still stand by that. Seeing him again wasn’t the best, he made a couple of digs, but take it on the chin and wish him well.”
Millie – Curtis was very upset after Villa USA, how was it left and how did it feel to see Curtis again the other day?
Millie: “It was left on a really nice note with Curtis. He actually he is a really nice person. I did feel bad through it all. No weird feelings seeing him again, it was nice.”
Millie – did you feel like the big sister of the Villa? Do you like playing that role?
Millie: “Yeah, I don’t really like being involved in drama. It’s not my cup of tea. It was like, ‘How can I give the best advice possible, calm down the situation, look at both sides of each of their story?’ Sometimes it was hard for the girls to understand where one side of the other was coming from. I could see both sides and tried to diffuse the situation as much as I could.” 
Zac- where are you excited to take Millie in the US?
Zac: “First stop will probably be Arizona, that’s where I live. Meet my friends there. Then we’ll go to Oregon to see my family, my parents. Then Vegas to see my brother. LA next.”
Millie: “We really want to go Nashville, all of us.”
Zac: “New Orleans, a lot of culture. Hawaii maybe.”
Milie – where do you want to take Zac in the UK?
Millie: “Take him to Essex to see the family. Then just show him around central. I think Zac will really like Shoreditch. There’s not much to do other than go to a nice restaurant. Kiss on the ferris wheel like The Notebook… he wants to go on the London Eye. Show you all of the touristy sh**.”
How would you both sum up your time on the show?
Zac: “Unexpectedly and perfectly complete.”
Millie: “Really glad that they brought in Villa USA!”
