Will Young was already a Love Island favourite before heading into the villa, but who is he? And where is he from? Here are all the interesting facts and details.

Will Young (not of Pop Idol fame) decided to swap his animals for his Love Island contestants this January 2023 as he went on the search for not just a girlfriend, but a wife.

He may have done so with Aussie bombshell Jessie Wynter, who headed into the show a few weeks in and has been coupled-up with Will since.

Before heading on Love Island, the young farmer confessed now is his time to find The One, revealing at the time: "Having grown up on a farm, it’s been quite difficult juggling relationships and work.

"Love Island will give me time away from the farm to solely go out and find love. I think I’m at the time of my life where I’m mature enough to go and find a wife."

Will Young faces online controversy before Love Island

Love Island stars are no strangers to criticism and 2023's Will has sadly faced it before he's even been on our TV screens.

Some have, reportedly, been upset by certain videos of Will with his animals, however, his dad, has stepped forward to defend him saying "he is simply showing what life is like working on a farm".

This year Love Island bosses have introduced new social media rules for contestants which should protect them and their family from online trolling.
