NEARLYWEDS: LOVE ISLAND’S MOLLY SMITH AND TOM CLARE TELL ALL ABOUT THEIR ROMANTIC WEDDING PLANS AFTER LANDING HUGE NEW PODCAST

All Stars winners take over Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s hit show, dishing on destination ceremony chaos, proposal panic, stag do fears and juicy relationship advice ahead of March 3 launch

Love Island power couple Molly Smith and Tom Clare are stepping into the spotlight once again — this time as the new hosts of the massively popular NearlyWeds podcast. The duo, who won Love Island: All Stars in 2024, have officially taken the baton from Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing, promising to share every raw, hilarious and heartfelt moment of their own wedding planning journey while helping listeners navigate their “juicy” relationship dilemmas.

Ahead of the podcast’s explosive launch on March 3, 2026, Molly, 31, and Tom, 26, sat down for an exclusive chat with The Sun, beaming as they spilled the details on their upcoming nuptials. “It still feels a little surreal that we’re actually doing it and showing that insight into planning the wedding and things, but very grateful as well,” Molly gushed. “It’s so exciting. Every week, I’m just so excited to go back and do it again. It’s really fun.”

Love Island’s Molly Smith and Tom Clare tell all about their romantic wedding plans after landing huge new podcast

Molly Smith and Tom Clare in full bridal and groom mode for the NearlyWeds promo shoot — the couple are already deep in wedding chaos.

The pair, who coupled up in the villa and went on to win the series, got engaged in a breathtaking Dubai proposal on September 4, 2025. Tom arranged a romantic beach setup complete with hundreds of white roses, candles and a flower arch. Molly was left in floods of tears as Tom dropped to one knee, with the moment captured in emotional behind-the-scenes footage that showed her screaming “yes” before leaping into his arms.

The stunning pear-shaped diamond ring — a showstopper with a sparkling halo — became instant Instagram gold, with friends and fans flooding their comments with congratulations.

Molly Smith Engaged to Tom Clare: Cut, Carat & Price

Molly’s jaw-dropping pear-shaped diamond engagement ring from the Dubai proposal — a pear cut stunner surrounded by smaller diamonds.

Now, with their summer 2026 wedding just months away, the couple are feeling the pressure. They’ve narrowed down venues to dreamy destinations in Spain or France for an intimate abroad ceremony, but admit the decisions are proving “stressful.” Molly confessed to having “panic attacks with six months to go,” while Tom joked about stag do nerves and “wedding ICKs” in recent interviews. From guest lists and budgets to bridesmaids drama and even an “EasyJet confession,” they’re vowing to keep it real on the pod.

The NearlyWeds format remains the same: unfiltered chats about pre-wedding highs, lows, good, bad and ugly moments. But Molly and Tom are adding their unique Love Island twist, blending villa drama stories with relationship advice and wedding planning tips. “We’re going to be talking everything,” Molly teased. The show is produced by Jamie Laing’s JamPot Productions, with a fun promo video showing the couple in a mock wedding — Molly in a plunging white gown, Tom suited up at the altar, and Jamie popping up as the vicar to hand over the reins.

Fans have been buzzing since the announcement dropped on Instagram, with the trailer racking up views as Molly and Tom share their excitement. “As if we weren’t excited enough already about the wedding, we now get to share all of our excitement (and the chaos of planning) with the listeners!” Molly said. The podcast will air on YouTube and all major platforms, with episodes promising to dive into logistics, venue hunts, family hopes and even future family plans — the couple have hinted at wanting kids down the line.

Their journey from villa to forever has captivated fans. After winning All Stars, they stayed solid through the post-show whirlwind, building a life together away from the cameras. Tom, a semi-pro footballer from Macclesfield, and Molly, a fitness influencer, have been open about the realities of fame, but their bond remains unbreakable.
