It seems that love is in the air once again for Love Island 2023 favourites farmer Will Young and Australian personal trainer Jessie Wynter after the 23-year-old gathered his fellow Islanders to help him declare his love to the 26-year-old with a grand gesture and apology that had viewers in floods of tears.
The grand gesture follows on from the revelation that shocked the girls when they returned from Casa Amor as it was unveiled that Will's head had been turned by one of the brand new Casa Amor bombshells, enough for him to share a passionate kiss with her on the first night Jessie was away.
Casa Amor acts as the ultimate relationship test as the boys and girls are seperated for four days and nights and introduced respectively to six new bombshells whose motive is to turn heads and win them over. However, hours after kissing bombshell Layla Al-Momani, the popular farmer had severe regrets and only wanted to get Jessie, who was pining after him in the other villa, back.

But after Jessie was told the news of Will's disloyal actions, she was understandably hurt and for days gave him the cold shoulder until Sunday night's episode, which aired on February 19 on ITV2, when Will made the big move to tell her that he loved her - in a very special way.
Gathering the Islanders, Will gave them each a line to say - that he had given them - on what he loves most about Jessie. Taking her onto the terrace, he said: "Jessie, I think we've done a lot of talking and I just want to show you how I feel," before she looked down to see the Islanders in a line looking up to them.
It began: "To Jessie,
"I love how beautiful you are.
"I love the way you've opened my heart into feelings I've never felt before.
"I love the way you put a smile on my face everytime I see you.
"I love the way you wave at me when you walk past.
"I love how safe and secure you make me feel.
"I love it when you play baby voices and you hate it.
"I love how kind and pure you are.
"I love how you brighten up every room you walk in.
"I love it when you squint your eyes everytime you smile at me.
"I love it when you pretend to like my coffees.
"I love the way, after 23 years, you're the only girl I've wanted to open up to."
Ending the speech with Tanya saying: "I love the way we all love you and Will wants to let you know."
Turning to Jessie, Will said: "That Jessie, I do, really do, love you."
Jumping up to hug the farmer, I think it's safe to say he has been well and truly forgiven - not just by Jessie but by Love Island fans at home as well, with viewers flooding Twitter in floods of tears at the sweet and "romantic" public display of affection.
