On Monday, Love Island's winter edition returned to screens with Maya Jama fronting as the brand-new host.
A new group of singletons entered the South African villa, with one of the biggest names being Will Young. No, not the early 2000s Pop Idol winner. Instead, a viral TikTok star which most users will know as Farmer Will (@farmerwill_).
Upon entering the villa, the 23-year-old from Buckinghamshire described himself as a "cheeky chappy" with "good vibes."
"I bring real good, loving energy," he added.
When asked why he was single, he said: "Honestly? Probably commitment issues. I self-sabotage myself sometimes when I've got a good thing going. I do like my own space and my own time; I haven’t got to stress about anything and just worry about myself."
On whether he falls in love quickly, the new Islander explained: "Yes and no. With the right girl, I would fall in love quickly. But I make up my mind super quick. I only need one or two dates, and I know whether I want to keep seeing someone. With girls I like, I wear my heart on my sleeve."
Before the ITV hit show, Will had already made a name for himself on the popular video app, racking up over 1.2 million followers and a staggering 33.1 million views in the process.
