Love Island stars Will Young and Jessie Wynter spent first date doing big shop in Tesco

Love Island sweethearts Will Young and Jessie Wynter spent their first real date on a trolley dash around Tesco.

And farmer Will, 23, admitted he is keen to walk “marriage material” Jessie down the aisle for real as he addressed rumours about his sexuality.

The TikTok sensation 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.”

Aussie Jessie, 26, backed up her beau, saying: “It’s 2023 and judging people’s sexuality is outdated and needs to get out of the window.”

Instead of returning home to Tasmania, the personal trainer flew back to Buckinghamshire with Will after they were dumped from the villa before the final.

The couple were happy to put the drama in South Africa behind them, after fellow islanders turned on Jessie in their last week, branding her “fake” in a storm of sniping and backbiting.

The attack was a second test for the pair, who admitted they came close to quitting the show after Will kissed bombshell Layla Al-Mamani, 28, when the girls were away in Casa Amor.

Since reconciling and arriving in the UK they’ve been happily embracing their freedom away from prying eyes.

And when it comes to building relationships through shared experiences, Jessie knows that every little helps.

She 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.”

Will revealed he can’t wait to start his new life with girlfriend 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, who is keen to introduce Will to her family, added: “I still can’t believe that I went on Love Island and actually found the love I was looking for.”
