Love Island contestant Will Young says Australian co-star Jessie Wynter is moving to the UK to live with him on his farm and help deliver the lambs.
The couple, who were fired from the ITV2 show days before Monday night’s final in South Africa, have been inseparable since they flew back to London.
And speaking exclusively to MailOnline, they discussed their excitement at living and working together on Will’s Buckinghamshire farm just in time for calving season.
His decision comes after Will revealed that veteran Countryfile host John Craven “slipped into his DMs” to congratulate him on endorsing farming for younger audiences.
Will said: ‘Jessie will be moving to the farm for the next month or two and she’ll be giving birth and everything, which I’m very, very excited about.
Love Island star Will Young says Australian co-star Jessie Wynter is moving to the UK to live with him on his farm and help deliver the lambs.
The couple, who were fired from the ITV2 show days before Monday night’s final in South Africa, have been inseparable since they flew back to London.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, they discussed their excitement at living and working together on Will’s Buckinghamshire farm just in time for calving season.
Will and Jessie spent a night apart when they touched down on British soil, but the love-struck couple, who met eight weeks ago on the dating series, say they found the separation “awful”.
“When she first visited me this week, I gave her some wellies and she was getting so involved and feeding the animals, which made me fall even more in love with her.”
Will, 23, and Jessie, 26, spent a night apart when they landed on British soil, but the love-struck couple, who met eight weeks ago on the dating series, say they found the split “awful”.
In fact, the playful couple admit that they’ve barely left the room now that the cameras are no longer rolling.
Jessie said: ‘It’s 100 times better now that we’re out of the village. It’s a million times better, I assure you.
However, the couple say they haven’t talked to their parents yet about having sex in the villa, while Jessie admits that she went to Love Island with the intention of not playing games on TV.
Jessie said: ‘Our parents haven’t commented on us having sex in the villa…let’s just pretend that didn’t happen. I wasn’t planning on doing that…’
Speaking about the villa’s famous hideout, Will added: “I thought we were just going to go in there and not have sex because they were filming us, but you’re there for so long… It’s portrayed in a playful way.”
But it’s been so nice to leave the villa and spend some time alone. The Hideaway gives you a good idea if this is going to work on the outside, there are cameras, little hidden ones, but it felt like a hotel on the outside.
The playful couple admit that they have barely left the room now that the cameras are no longer rolling, saying that the sex is better between them now that they are out of the villa.
Will and Jessie had sex on TV during their time at the villa, taking their relationship to the next level by getting intimate at the show’s famous Hideaway.
Personal trainer Jessie says it was never her intention to have sex on camera, but the couple admits that eight weeks is a long time without intimacy.
Will is grateful that their connection goes beyond life inside the Love Island villa, adding, “There are no cameras, we can just chill and when you can chill with someone in silence and it’s not weird, that’s really nice.”
“Some people on the show were saying they wanted to spend time apart from their partner to make their hearts grow bigger and I told Jessie ‘we’re not going to do that.’ I don’t need my heart to grow any more baby! I know what my heart wants.
Jessie, who is a personal trainer from Tasmania and currently living in Sydney, rose to fame on the Australian series Love Island in 2019.
It hit the UK winter season with a bang, which was presented for the first time this year by Maya Jama.
Meanwhile, Will grew up on a farm in Buckinghamshire that has been in his family for six generations.
Will insists that the pressure to make their romance work is not solely on Jessie’s shoulders and says that he will visit her home in Tasmania before committing to a long-term plan.
Love Island was first hosted this year by Maya Jama, who took over from former host Laura Whitmore.
He said: “A relationship works both ways, I can’t trust Jessie to pack my bags and I would never want her to do that.” I am a family man and want to experience Jessie’s family, her home. I’ve never been to Australia, but I’ve heard there are lots of sheep there.
They already have the approval of Countryfile host John, after Will, who has amassed thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram with his entertaining farming videos, said he reached out to him, hinting that a hosting role on the show BBC One could be at stake.
He joked: ‘Maybe, maybe… I want my career to be agriculture. John Craven actually slipped into my DMs, it was so gratifying that someone from Countryfile had reached out. He can really see that I have a passion and a love for agriculture.’
The couple is busy making plans for the future and hopes they can follow in the footsteps of 2019 islanders Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who recently welcomed their first baby together.
Will said: ‘We’ve had talks about marriage and babies. We are on the same page with everything we want. I don’t want to live my life without her.
And Jessie couldn’t agree more, adding: ‘I’m 27 later this year and I’m from the country. Most of my friends got married at 22, I’m the weird one!’
Viewers watched their eight-week romance blossom at the Love Island villa, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the couple, whose relationship was thrown into question after Will kissed Layla Al-Momani during Casa Amor’s loyalty test.
Jessie confessed to being “destroyed” by Will’s actions, while considering leaving the show if he failed to win her back.
She said: ‘It was a lot harder than I could have imagined and it’s because I love Will so much. I got so emotionally invested from the very beginning. It was devastating. He bought past emotions.
“I have had many experiences with couples who are unfaithful to me. I started to feel like I wasn’t good enough.
“For me it was the idea of losing Jessie and ruining it, it just crushed me,” Will added.
“For a week or two I kept in mind that if we didn’t get back to normal, I didn’t want to be in the village, I felt like I didn’t have a place there.
‘I’ve never been in love in my entire life… this is the first time. So, I had those feelings building up at Casa Amor and then I screwed up and didn’t know if I would get it back or not. It was that feeling that I ruined everything.
It wasn’t just Will’s betrayal that left Jessie on the brink of an emotional breakdown.
She also faced criticism from her fellow islanders, who questioned whether her feelings for Will were genuine after they allegedly didn’t see “tears” when she sobbed over the fallout from Casa Amor.
Now Jessie has revealed that Love Island bosses had to step in, admitting that “it was hard.” In fact, the producers had to take me out of the villa to see a psychologist a couple of times.
She continued: ‘You’re locked in that environment, and I felt like I was always being attacked. I put my whole heart into everything.
“I felt like I was really there for the people, and I really loved Will, but for some reason, no matter how much I did… I’d do the dishes for everyone, and try really hard to be happy, but people kept coming.” to me, and no one ever said those things to my face.’
Viewers of Love Island crowned schoolteacher Kai Fagan and social worker Sanam Harrinanan the winners on Monday after they garnered 44 percent of the public vote, beating out Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins.
Will and Jessie believe the right couple won the £50,000 cash prize and say they were focused on their relationship from the moment they met.
Jessie said: ‘They were mature and stayed out of the drama. I am so happy for them.
They were there to focus on themselves and that’s what they did. Maybe we weren’t that close to them, Kai didn’t really get to know him, but it’s nice to see such a pure couple, a teacher and a social worker, win Love Island.’
