East Lothian Love Island star Jay Younger hailed with 'best relationship' in villa

The biggest drama of Love Island in our eyes has been how quickly the general public changed their opinions on East Lothian star Jay Younger.

At the beginning of his ITV2 journey, Jay was regarded as a 'villain' and 'sly' for his manoeuvres on both Ekin-Su and Paige. Now, the Musselburgh boy is one of the most loved in the villa, given his respectful nature to his girl, Chyna.

As the girls headed off to Casa Amor, a bunch of new islanders entered the original villa, and every single boy lost their composure completely - except for two.

Both Jay and Luca, who is coupled up with 19-year-old Gemma Owen, have been the calmest boys since the new girls have came in, with Jay setting his sights on Chyna. Despite being single, Jay has stuck all his eggs in one basket and focused on getting to know Chyna solely.

This has went down extremely well with fans of the show, who feel they even need to apologise for judging the Scottish lad too quickly. Viewers headed to social media to share their thoughts on the blossoming of Jay and Chyna's relationship.

One Twitter user wrote: "Jay is the most genuine guy in the villa he also hasn’t egged on any of the boys or acted thirsty for casa amor girls and is gives genuine advice #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK." Another said: "Jays speaking facts to Davide.. I think he’s growing on me #loveisland."

A third wrote: "jay is TIRED of this behaviour, i hope he tells all the girls about how s**** the lads have been #loveisland." A fifth added: "jay being the most single going into casa amor but has remained the most level-headed and respectful person other than luca #LoveIsland"

More comments read: "at this point, jay is the only boy in the villa that i’m happy with #loveisland." Others added: "chyna and jay are cute. it’s crazy that he’s the only single one and is not even moving mad #LoveIsland."

Another comment read: "It’s really gotten to the point where Jay is in the best relationship?!?!?#loveisland." And finally, one concluded: "think we all owe jay an apology. he’s the most respectful man in there and handled his situation with paige how all the other boys should have handled casa amor #LoveIsland."

Love Island resumes on Thursday, July 7 at 9pm on ITV2. Episodes are available for catch up on the ITV Hub.
