As the new cast for Winter Love Island 2023 is revealed - you can read the full line-up here - some viewers may recognise one face. A TikTok star who is famous for his farming videos is heading into the villa.

Will Young, who is 23 and from Buckinghamshire, is well known for his videos on TikTok under the username @farmerwill where he creates content from his farm. Many of his videos include him being with his adorable sheep on the farm.

The 23-year-old is very successful on TikTok, with over one million followers, with two of his sheep Rufus and Bramble who is blind, being very popular with viewers. Will's videos include funny sketches and dancing with the sheep.

However, Will is hoping a break from the farm in the Love Island villa will help him with his love life and to find a wife. He said: "Having grown up on a farm, it’s been quite difficult juggling relationships and work. Love Island will give me time away from the farm to solely go out and find love. I think I’m at the time of my life where I’m mature enough to go and find a wife."

Will also revealed that he likes to mediate before going to bed. He said: "Every night I light a candle and meditate for 20-25 minutes. A girl I was seeing told me to meditate, I tried it and loved it. I stopped seeing her and carried on meditating! It’s a nice way to self-reflect, taking a minute on my day/ week. It’s really nice and sets me up for a nice sleep."

Love Island will begin on Monday, January 16 on ITV2 and Will joins Swansea contestant Anna-May Robey in the line-up. You can read more about Anna-May here.
