Love Island’s Will Young slams ‘fake Islanders’ saying they’re only clinging onto fame
LOVE ISLAND’S Will Young has slammed ‘fake’ contestants of the show who talk about others saying they’re only doing it to cling onto fame.
During a podcast where he was joined by girlfriend Jessie Wynter, they discussed how it has been since coming out of the South African bubble into reality.
Will, 23, and Jessie, 26, joined hosts Max Balegde and George Clarke on the podcast The Useless Hotline to talk about all things Love Island including fake Islanders, Casa Amor scandal and villa secrets.
Jessie has received her fair share of comments from fellow islanders branding her feelings towards Farmer Will fake, most pointedly from his fellow Musketeer Casey O’Gorman and Casa Amor bombshell Maxwell Samuda.
Despite the couple being one of the strongest in the villa, some believed her intentions towards the TikTok heartthrob were disingenuous.
Suggesting Jessie was fake Maxwell told Casey: “When it was the Casa recoupling and Jessie came back and realised Will was single and she started crying the entire time I was looking for a tear and I couldn’t find a tear.”
Speaking about how things have been with the other Islanders since leaving the villa, Will said: “I think everyone wants to put their two pence into the situation, hold on a little longer [to the fame].
“We don’t want to come out and diss anyone because that’s really not our nature. If anyone wants to talk about us then we’ll take it.”
He joked: “Keep talking about us!”
Jessie agreed with her beau, remarking: “If people wanna sit there and negatively critique you that is, that’s kinda on them.
“Why would I waste my energy talking about other people?”
Despite other people making comments about their relationship, Jessie and Will appear to be going from strength to strength since leaving the Love Island villa.
The Australian beauty, who is currently living on boyfriend Will’s Buckinghamshire farm, revealed when she’ll be returning home to Oz and taking him with her.
The two are happier than ever away from the constant drama and tension of the villa, but will soon see a big change in their relationship as Jessie’s visa comes to an end.
Speaking exclusively to the Sun, she says: “I am looking to go back to Australia at the end of May because I think that’s when my visa is until.
“Will might be coming with me, which is really exciting, and then we’re going to look at what other types of visas I can have when I get back over here.
“I do see myself long-term in the UK, if Will doesn’t enjoy Australia too much. Everyone I know from the UK has been saying Will’s going to love Australia, so I’m concerned [laughs].”
Jessie’s been away from her family since the turn of the year, save for when she was visited in the South African mansion by her mum and sister.
Fortunately, she’s been warmly accepted into the Young family, which has helped to massively reduce her homesickness.
“I feel if I hadn’t gone back to the farm it might have been too overwhelming coming straight into a new country, the hustle and bustle,” she says. “I know it’s different. It’s not the typical Love Island setting, but we’re so happy with how it’s worked out.
“There have been periods where I’ve felt so homesick, but Will and his family have been so comforting for me. I’d be lost without them, they’re so lovely.”
