Who is Will Young? Love Island contestant's age, job as a farmer and famous TikTok account

Love Island cast member Will Young will burst onto screens on Monday, January 16 as the winter edition of the popular dating programme returns. Will, who describes himself as a cheeky chappy with good vibes, says he's attracted to energy and is hoping to find the one in the villa.,

Asked why he's single, Will said: "Honestly? Probably commitment issues. I self sabotage myself sometimes when I've got a good thing going. I do like my own space and my own time; I haven’t got to stress about anything and just worry about myself."

On whether he falls in love quickly, the Islander explained: "Yes and no. With the right girl I would fall in love quickly. But I make up my mind super quick. I only need one or two dates and I know whether I want to keep seeing someone. With girls I like, I wear my heart on my sleeve."

But how old is Will, what does he do for a living and how can you follow him on social media? Here are all the details.

Who is Will Young?

Will is a farmer from Buckinghamshire. Speaking about his occupation, 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."

Asked whether his potential partner needs to be good with animals, Will added: "My mum didn’t step on the farm for the first 20 years of my mum and dad’s marriage! What attracts me is energy, if the energy is there, she can do whatever she wants. As long as she respects what I do and my busy times of the year, then that’s all I need. If she loves it, bonus! But it’s not a big issue for me."

On his claim to fame, Will said: "Claudia Winkleman came to my farm. She was lovely and got stuck in. She poured water over me."

How old is Will Young?

Will is 23 years old.

Is Will Young on Instagram?

You can find Will on Instagram at farmer_will_, at the time of writing the star already has 135k followers, probably due to his popular TikTik account which boasts over one million fans.

Under the username @farmerwill, the Islander creates content from his farm. Many of his videos include two of his sheep Rufus and Bramble, who is blind. Will's videos include funny sketches and dancing with the sheep. You can read more on this here.

However, Will's profiles will remain dormant while he is in the villa. Usually, family members and friends take over the contestants' accounts while they are on the show, but the broadcaster has confirmed that nothing will be published on the Islanders' behalf this year.

The change is part of Love Island's duty of care measures and aims to protect both the islanders and their families from the adverse effects of social media. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
