Will Young is one of the first male islanders confirmed for the next season of Love Island.
Winter Love Island 2023 is the first of a double helping of the hit ITV dating show coming to ITV2 and ITVX this year. The returning winter spin-off will see another batch of islanders heading to a new villa in South Africa to try to find their perfect partners with the help of Love Island's new host, Maya Jama.
Farmer (and TikTok star) Will Young is one of the first ten singletons heading into the South African villa for the new series. When asked why he decided to apply, Will said: "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."

Similar to Anna-May Robey's belief that she'll be bringing the fun to the villa, Will has claimed that he's planning on upping the energy levels for the new series. "Good energy, I'm a bit of cheeky chappy, good vibes, good to be around" is what he said he'll be bringing to the villa.
Why does Will think someone should date him?
Will Young has revealed exactly what he thinks makes him a good catch. He said: "I bring real good, loving energy and I'm a wholesome boy who can bring you to the farm and show you his animals and just live one of those happy lives in the cottage."
Love Island 2023 starts airing on Monday, January 16 at 9 pm on ITV2. You can stream the new series on ITVX in the UK; the series is expected to follow past seasons and air on Hulu in the US.
