Big Brother finalist Nathan King has revealed that he has already won over his girlfriend Rosie Williams’ parents after the couple found love on the ITV reality show.
Although some viewers accused them of being involved in little more than a “showmance”, the 24-year-old pork salesman fell for 29-year-old dental assistant Rosie, also known as Baked Potato, just days after they entered the famous house last month.
Nathan and Rosie initially tried to keep their romance private, even planning to arrange a date after the series during a fire evacuation. However, their relationship eventually became clear as viewers watched them grow closer week by week.
The couple made things official inside the house, but Rosie—nicknamed “Baked Tattie” by Nathan—was separated from him after being evicted just five days before the final. They were reunited on Friday after the series ended.
Nathan has now told MailOnline that, just two days after the show concluded, he travelled to Rosie’s home in Cornwall to meet her family. The couple are also jetting off to Tenerife this week for a holiday together.

He also said that, despite Rosie’s fears that his political views might clash with her left-wing parents, he has already made a positive impression on them.
He said: “It has been strange getting back to reality, but it’s a different reality now because obviously I’m down here with Rosie. We’ll go with Rosie now, not Baked Tattie.
“It’s lovely; it’s been really nice. For that to have happened in there was so far from anything I had imagined might happen.
“But I’m so bloody glad it did. I’ve found someone who, without a doubt, I love so much. I’m so happy, she makes me happy, and that’s a great thing.”
Asked how it felt to reunite with Rosie at the live final, where Nathan finished fifth behind series champion Ali Bromley, he added: “Yeah, it was lovely to see her.
“Obviously, we saw each other at the after-party on Friday, which was really nice. We spoke, and then I came down yesterday on the train. I met her mum and dad, which was really nice. They’ve been really kind to me, and it’s been great. It is so strange, and that’s what I said about being in there—it’s just mad.
“We’ve known each other for five or six weeks, but we’ve clearly fallen in love, which is amazing. I’m so happy.
“We’ve actually just booked a trip. We’re going away tomorrow to Tenerife for a few nights to get a bit of a tan because we’re both really pale—we haven’t seen sunlight in weeks.

“We need a good tan, and it’ll be lovely. It really will be nice. She makes me happy, she makes me laugh, and she’s an amazing person as well.”
After leaving the show, both Nathan and Rosie rejected suggestions that their relationship was a “showmance”. Speaking on Late and Live, Rosie said: “That’s literally a gnat’s b******s. I don’t mind that at all. I know it’s genuine.
“I was just worried because I wanted to make sure I was being respectful to the housemates. I didn’t want to be too over-the-top, and I knew my dad was watching. I thought he’d hand me my a*s, so I probably came across as quite awkward.
“I know it was an artificial environment, but that was probably the realest thing,” she said, before adding that she “loved him”.
Nathan shared the same view during his own post-eviction interview, describing Rosie’s departure as his “hardest moment” in the house. He also said claims that their romance was a “showmance” were “the most false thing he’s heard”.
Nathan has not yet decided what he wants to do after Big Brother, but he and Rosie are considering launching a podcast with fellow housemates Emma Morgan and Sarah Griffiths.
Emma and Nathan developed a close friendship during their time on the show, entertaining viewers with their cheeky jokes and cutting remarks.
Speaking about their unexpected romance, Nathan said: “For that to have happened in there was so far from anything I had imagined might happen”
“I’m so bloody glad it did. I’ve found someone who, without a doubt, I love so much. I’m so happy she makes me happy, and that’s a great thing,” he added

He added: “I love Emma as well. Emma is the funniest person I’ve ever met.
“We did this thing—I don’t know if it was shown—where you had to make the person opposite you laugh. Honestly, Emma just turned away, then turned back, looked at me, and I was in tears.
“Every time I look at her, she makes me laugh. I’m so glad I met Emma as well; she’s just an amazing person.”
Discussing his plans after the show, he added: “I’ve spoken about it with Rosie over the last couple of days, and I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m not much of a planner anyway, and I’m not much of a long-term thinker. I just do things and see what happens.
“I love Rosie for that as well, so we’re just going to take it as it comes. I have no idea what path I’m going to take or what I’m going to do, but we’ll see what happens. I think that’s a good way to be.
“I’ve loved the last six weeks, and let’s see what happens from here on in.”
