Love Island couple Jessie Wynter and Will Young admitted they spent their first real date outside of the villa completing a romantic big shop round Tesco. After getting booted off the show hosted by Bristol's Maya Jama in South Africa, the loved-up Will, 23, said he would love to walk 'marriage material' Jessie, 26, down the aisle.
The Mirror reports that rather than head back to Tasmania, Jessie joined Will back in Buckinghamshire after they were dumped from the villa before the final. The pair were relieved to wave goodbye to the drama in South Africa after fellow islanders appeared to turn on Jessie in their final week.
The personal trainer was branded "fake" in a row with the other islanders. This was a second test for the couple, who said they came close to leaving the show after Will kissed Layla Al-Mamani, 28, while they were away in Casa Amor.
Now, happily away from prying eyes in the UK, the couple have been enjoying their freedom. Jessie said: "We’ve been having an absolute blast. We’ve got me to the farm, we’ve got back to the country.
"We went to Tesco for our first date – we did the big shop, picked up some snacks. Then we went to the village pub for steak and chips and a chicken burger.
"It was so nice to get out of the villa, and since we’ve left we’ve been a lot happier. We don’t have people interfering in our relationship."
Already a TikTok star, Will also opened up about his sexuality, which some fans had been questioning during his time on the show. He said: "I was 100% myself in the villa. I’m happy with myself and I’m happy with Jessie.
"My brother is gay, and so I’m all for it. I don’t think anyone can say that to me in a negative way. As a person I’m very outgoing and charismatic, and I’m not going to change."
Jessie added: "It’s 2023 and judging people’s sexuality is outdated and needs to get out of the window."
Will told the publication he could not wait to start his life with Jessie. He said: "I wouldn’t be with her if I thought she wasn’t marriage material. Our plan is to split our time between the UK and Tasmania."
Jessie is also keen to introduce Will to her family. "I still can’t believe that I went on Love Island and actually found the love I was looking for," she said.
