East Lothian Love Island star in throwback photo on social media before TV show

Love Island star Jay Younger hasn't always been the Musselburgh muscle boy we know him as in the villa on ITV2.

As the lover boy works his magic on the Love Island girls, his family has been running his social media accounts. Now, Jay may not be too happy about this when he gets out the villa, that's for sure.

Over on TikTok, new images of a fresh-faced Jay have emerged with the caption: "Teen to twenties @LoveIsland."

In the image, a younger Jay Younger is seen with longer hair, a funky t-shirt and much less muscles. In the videos after, we see the Jay we know now, tanned and with a much bigger physique, wooing girls and making mates on Love Island.

Fans flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the baby-faced Jay. One TikTok user said: "Fancy him sooo much."

Another said: "Omg Jay love you so much, you are so cute!" While a third said: "Wow, what a glow-up!"

Earlier today, Edinburgh Live reported that Love Island viewers are not convinced of East Lothian boy Jay Younger's real intentions on the show, as the latest episode of the ITV2 dating programme aired on Sunday evening.

The Musselburgh boy is now paired up with islander Paige, who was happily getting to know rugby boy Jacques. But Jay swooped in to throw his hat in the ring of Paige's affection, irritating viewers.

And now fans of the show are not convinced the local fitness fanatic is showing every side of himself, and took to social media to share their irritation at the star. One Twitter user even went so far as to say: "Jay is the #LoveIsland villain, you can’t change my mind."

Another said: "Jay, you are a f****** tool mate. #LoveIsland." A third wrote: "naw jay because if you were really interested in getting to know Paige you should have let it be known with Ekin-Su that you were still open to get to know the other girls #LoveIsland."

Love Island resumes on Monday, June 27 at 9pm on ITV2. Catch-up is available via the ITV Hub.
