While lockdown has been getting 99 per cent of the country down, things are all right as rain for Love Island's Callum Jones, it would seem.
He walked out of the Love Island villa back in February and now he's living with co-star and girlfriend Molly Smith - the pair even welcomed an ADORABLE new addition to the family last week 🐶.
Catching up with Callum, 24, over the phone, we got straight to the point and asked how the pair have been doing since leaving the reality-free confines of the villa.
"[Molly] ticks all the boxes," he said.

Awww 🥺.
He continued, "We kind of came out the villa and then straight away it was lockdown, so we kind of adapted and we're pretty solid - no major problems."
Callum explained that, since his August body transformation (if you haven't seen the pics, you are missing out), he's been relaxing on fitness. And, in more important news, Callum told us that once the country comes out of lockdown, he and Molly have got some big projects in motion (oooh).
When we asked if there was something exciting in the works, Callum said, "Yeah, there is. I'd like to keep it a surprise, but we'll see."
"Coming soon," chimed in his manager.
He gives nothing away does our Callum...
However, the former scaffolder did tease going on MasterChef, of all things. He told us, "I'd like to get on MasterChef next year, I'm just focusing on my cooking at the minute.
"It's something that I want to do so I can speak with my management and stuff and hopefully I can get on the show at some point."
Très intéressant.
Now, before you ask, we did of course ask about Shaughna Phillips because, well, we all want to know the tea.
Broaching the subject, Callum said, "I mean Shaughna's not-"
Not what, Callum...?
He continued, "I don't know...
"She was just on the show wasn't she. I've not spoken to her or anything.
"I've not spoken to a few people off of Love Island, I think everyone's just getting on with their own things."
Well, we guess Callum has moved on from that re-coupling situe. It has been nine months, to be fair, but the Mancunian tells us that he would go back in an instant, if he had the chance.
"If I could go back tomorrow, I would, because I had such a good time, obviously. It's like a once in a lifetime experience" he said.
Now, Callum's fully loved up with Casa Amor's Molly now and, on that note, when we asked what the future looked like for the smitten pair, Callum told us that marriage and kids are "definitely" on the cards, just maybe not in the immediate future.

"All the stuff like that is definitely on the waiting list at the minute. We're just taking everything easy and as it comes."
Callum added that the pair "obviously" do want those things but, for the time being, they are just enjoying themselves.
Callum even revealed the last scandalous text he sent to Molly, 25, and it was drumroll..."Are going going for a run?"
Ah. Well, that hasn't quite satisfied our thirst for gossip, but we shall be waiting nervously to find out if Molly was indeed going for a run 😂.
Plus, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for Callum's upcoming "surprise" projects.
