He told the hosts: "Feelings are developing, it’s in the right position… so I feel like give it some time…"‌When asked how she felt, Julia quickly added: "Where’s the date?" Lorenzo said he planned to take Julia to a rooftop bar to mark their first official date outside the villa, with her asking when it would happen.Lorenzo quickly jumped in to say there was "a lot of planning involved and joked they could use their £50,000 prize pot for the date.

Lorenzo was seen sipping an Aperol Spritz opposite his love, whilst she posed for a photo for him at the restaurant.‌Speaking after their win, Lorenzo described it as all "very surreal" as the pair were crowned champions on the latest series."I did not think this would happen eight weeks ago walking in there. What an honour; very privileged, very humbled," he said, whilst Julia added: "We feel very grateful and it’s crazy, coming from Casa I had no idea I would make it through Casa and then win. What has happened?! We loved it and enjoyed every second, and always lived in the moment."Asked what they'd say to those who doubt their relationship, Julia added: "That’s natural, people will have doubts. We know what we have got and we believe in ourselves and being there for each other. Watch this space!"Article continues below"We haven’t gone through some of the stages the other couples have - L bombs, girlfriend/boyfriend, and I didn’t want to rush anything. I’m a slow burner, and we’ve only known each other for four weeks and I have loved every second of that and putting pressure on that just because the show was coming to an end would have ruined things," Lorenzo shared."We have built this amazing connection and amazing foundation, and now I want us to experience the next milestones in the real world. Julia really changed my time in there - I was quite passive until Casa and the minute I got there, there was an instant spark and that’s where it changed for me and I put my foot on the gas."Like this story?
