00:00The reunion definitely was heavy for us to watch.
00:03Kieran was like, I want to spice it up,
00:04but I want to wear something that no one else is going to wear.
00:06I feel like I'm losing my scarf.
00:07Oh, no.
00:08Not the scarf.
00:09I think we're not...
00:11Let's choke you out.
00:13I've interviewed most people on the planet,
00:15but I'm so excited about meeting you today.
00:17We love that.
00:18We're excited to meet you.
00:19Do you know what, though?
00:20I feel like we've lived with you.
00:22For how many weeks has it been?
00:23I mean, honestly, I've binged the whole thing in the day.
00:25Did you?
00:26Oh, did you?
00:27Honestly, I was a bit behind.
00:28I did it yesterday.
00:29No.
00:30How does it work?
00:31A year ago you got married.
00:32Is it weird watching back the moments and your family?
00:35Tell me how it works.
00:36It's super weird, isn't it?
00:37Yeah, it's a very weird situation.
00:39Not a lot of people have lived it.
00:41Yeah, we had a whole year.
00:43I think we're very grateful of the year,
00:45out of the public eye.
00:47It's been really nice, actually.
00:48Yeah.
00:49But it's now very weird.
00:50Everyone thinks it's really recent for us,
00:52but it was a year ago for us.
00:54It's old news for us,
00:55all of these things that everyone's watching.
00:57But I felt sorry for the other people watching it back,
00:59because those moments were so beautiful
01:00and now it's obviously a bit toxic.
01:02Yeah.
01:03Was it awkward for you lot as well,
01:04watching around?
01:05It was heavy, wasn't it?
01:06Yeah, the reunion definitely was heavy for us to watch.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Because they're our friends, you know?
01:11It's not a nice situation to watch your friends have to go through that.
01:14And we do like everyone,
01:15and we like them as individuals.
01:17Obviously, they don't work as couples,
01:18and that's quite clear for people to see.
01:20But yeah, we feel sorry for people.
01:21It's a pretty hard watch.
01:23I've got to be honest with you.
01:24When the camera panned to you,
01:25I didn't recognise you.
01:26The glow up is something else.
01:28The highlights, the ear piercing.
01:30Babe, come on.
01:31Come on.
01:32Everyone's saying this, but this was Kieran's idea.
01:37Kieran was like, I want to spice it up.
01:39I want to wear something that no one else is going to wear.
01:41I was like, yeah, love that.
01:43You're my biggest cheerleader though,
01:44and I do get sign off on things.
01:47And yeah, Meg Baxsmith, she's a Baxsmith.
01:49Yeah, I love it.
01:50I want to explore.
01:51I'm here for that.
01:52But what have your mates said about it?
01:53Because they were very vocal in the show.
01:55What do they think about this glow up?
01:56Yeah, you can imagine the chat that they give me
01:59over a pint in the pub.
02:00It's, yeah, they're not very experimentative boys,
02:04you know, some of them.
02:05They don't necessarily see the vision that I see,
02:07but some of them get it.
02:08They like it, yeah.
02:09So not only did you find love on the show,
02:11what happens next career-wise?
02:12Because I want to see you in the West End, babes.
02:14Oh, thank you, babe.
02:15And I want to see you.
02:16You're going to be in Topshop windows.
02:17Yeah, Topshop windows.
02:18They're coming back.
02:19I'll take it.
02:20They're coming back.
02:21You never know.
02:22I mean, we're down for both of those things.
02:23If anyone's offers coming in for work,
02:24what happens next?
02:25Well, it's early days.
02:27It's early days, you know.
02:28We're going through the motions of signing with an agency,
02:31doing all of that stuff.
02:32We haven't done that yet.
02:33It's very, very fresh.
02:34But, yeah, we've got a lot of inbound, haven't we?
02:36Yeah, we're just exploring and adapting at the moment.
02:40But, yeah, I think lots of exciting things coming up.
02:42But, yeah, get Meggie J on the West End.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Get Meggie J on the West End.
02:46What are you doing?
02:47Chicago?
02:48What are we doing?
02:49Oh, yeah.
02:50Bang on.
02:51That's like my dream.
02:52Chicago, Moulin Rouge, you know, all of that.
02:53I love kicking her.
02:54We can see your hits, mister.
02:55Oh, yeah.
02:56Well, yeah.
02:57Maybe this will start my dance career as well.
02:58Who knows?
02:59Who knows?
03:00The dance routine for the wedding was like something I've never seen before.
03:02Like dirty dancing.
03:03Do you know, we learned that in 45 minutes.
03:05Meg taught me that in 45 minutes.
03:06The day before we had to leave for the wedding.
03:09That was all we had.
03:10We had 45 minutes.
03:11I was like, right, get your dance shoes on, babes.
03:13So, have you seen anything before in a year?
03:16Did they show you little clips or was that, are you watching it like us?
03:19We watched it with you.
03:20Yeah, we watched it with you.
03:21It came out 8 a.m. on a Thursday.
03:23We were there 8 a.m. with our breakfast, sat watching ourselves.
03:25Wednesday.
03:26Wednesday morning.
03:27Was it Wednesday?
03:28Yeah.
03:29We had a year of nerves, I take it.
03:30Yeah, it was like a Black Mirror episode, wasn't it?
03:31Yeah.
03:32Watching yourself on TV was very strange, very surreal.
03:34Yeah.
03:35But you're very fortunate that you have your journey on the television.
03:37Yeah.
03:38I mean, and you can show the kids.
03:40It's beautiful.
03:41Have you thought that?
03:42So, for every field down, you just watch the wedding back on Netflix.
03:44We've been doing that.
03:45We've watched it a few times now, haven't we?
03:47We're like, oh, we've just watched our wedding videos.
03:48I actually cry every time I watch it, so I don't watch it as much anymore.
03:52And the best thing about being married, what is it?
03:55I think just being with Kieran every day.
03:57Yeah.
03:58We are a bit disgustingly in love and, yeah, that's the best thing.
04:02Yeah, we just have lots of fun.
04:03I think that's the most important part, really.
04:06And are you going on holiday much?
04:08Like, what have you actually been doing in a year?
04:09Oh, we went to Ibiza just before the show came out.
04:12And Montenegro before that.
04:13Yeah.
04:14We've done a few holidays.
04:15I feel like I'm losing my staff.
04:16Oh, no.
04:17Not my staff.
04:18But I think we're...
04:19We're not...
04:20Just choke you out with it.
04:21That's a meme.
04:22I really love her.
04:23And how are you finding the fame, if you like?
04:27You're walking on the street, you're getting recognised.
04:30How are you?
04:31Have you had any advice about how to cope with online comments and things like that?
04:34Yeah, we had advice from the Netflix team and stuff on how to deal with it.
04:39And I think we're really lucky we have each other.
04:42We can, like, help each other.
04:43We're, like, scrolling through, like, looking at negative comments.
04:46We can both be like, oh, stop that.
04:47We call it the trap.
04:48Yeah, the trap.
04:49We're like, get out of the trap.
04:50Get out of the trap.
04:51Stop being in the trap.
04:52Get out of the trap.
04:53And then, but do you know what?
04:54Like, 99% have been so lovely and positive.
04:57Yeah.
04:58And, like, we're really lucky.
04:59Yeah, people stop us in the street and they feel like they know us,
05:01because they kind of do, because they've seen our journey.
05:03But they're, everyone's so nice.
05:04Everyone's like, we love you guys.
05:05We love your journey.
05:06So, yeah, it's actually been really nice, to be honest.
05:08It's been lovely.
05:09I just suddenly thought, Netflix show maybe together?
05:11You could do a little, like, fly in the ball thing?
05:14Sign us up.
05:15Little spin-off series.
05:16We would love that.
05:17We'd love it.
05:18Right, go and cha-cha your way into the cinema.
05:19Thank you so much.
05:20It's so great to meet you, babe.
05:21So nice to meet you.
05:22Good luck with everything.
05:23See you.
05:24Bye.
