Love Island's Will has been accused of playing a "child-like victim" after he was forced to admit that he cheated on Jessie in Casa Amor, according to a body language expert.
The truth was exposed during Thursday night's explosive episode on ITV2 when all the Islanders had to decide if they wanted to recouple or stick with their original partners.
Will decided to stick with Jessie, and the feeling was mutual. However, Will then shared a kiss with new bombshell Layla and when host Maya Jama asked him if he had been loyal, Will had to come clean about their smooch.
Expert Judi James says Will used his Casa Amor closing speech as self-pity and speaking on behalf of Paddy Power Bingo, she added: "Will pitched for a sympathy response rather than disapproval.
"He sat splayed and grinning until he realised the Casa girls get a chance to speak too. His grin died and his head snapped round when the ‘bombshells’ were allowed to get their say about Casey, showing human emotions like sadness and anger. And Layla was the most vocal of all.
"Will used a body language behaviour called ‘pseudo-infantile’ to make his speech and it was full of self-pity and incongruent speech and gestures.
"Will clasped his hands behind his back and spoke in a child’s voice. His words made him sound like the victim: ‘Tough old experience…I’ve not been myself…I’ve been 5% of me…been really tough…all new feelings…challenging few days for myself…it’s been really tough…massive struggle…really tough mentally, trying to get through that…I’m going to cry’.
"While Jessie sat immobile and dry-eyed beside him, Will squeezed his eyes and poked at his tears with his fingers as he cried."
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
