Love Island fans turn on Will Young as they spot farmer's 'huge red flag'

Love Island fans think they've spotted Will Young's 'huge red flag'.

The farmer received a huge wave of support from ITV2 viewers during the second episode of this year's series in South Africa, after he got off to a rocky start before arriving in the villa thanks to backlash from PETA and animal lovers.

But despite some viewers warming to Will, 23, thanks to his hilarious attempt at dancing, many noticed his potential 'red flag' during the first update from the villa.

The hunky farmer was chatting with Olivia Hawkins, 27, and getting to know his new partner, after being put together by default, when his 'worrying' tattoo was revealed.

As the two islanders sat on beanbags, Olivia revealed she was a "clean sheet" when it comes to body art before Will revealed he has a tiny letter 'P' etched on his ankle.

"Is that a girl’s initial?" Olivia asked Will as he showed off his small inking.

"Yeah, that I met on holiday," the farmer began to explain.

Stunned, Olivia replied: "Wait, you’ve got another girl’s initial on your ankle? Why did you tell me that?

"You should have lied."

Will went on to point out "you can’t start a relationship on a lie" and added: "I sometimes say, if I lie it would only get out."

Love Island fans watching at home were just as shocked as Olivia when it came to Will's tattoo tribute.

"Oh,Will! Why would you bring up the tattoo on Episode 1 #LoveIsland," one mused on Twitter, as another wrote: "BIG RED FLAG WILL #LoveIsland."

'Bless Will,' one fan of the farmer tweeted in his defence (ITV)

"'I didn’t wanna start the relationship off on a lie' 'I’d get the tattoo removed for you' Will you’ve known her 5 secs - calm it," a third declared.

Another added: "Will is not a real person PLS the entire conversation about the tattoo has me WHEEZING #LoveIsland."

Some found the farmer's tattoo tribute sweet, with one viewer tweeting: "Will having another girls name as a tattoo bless him! #loveisland."

Will - who has over 1million followers on TikTok - said before going into the villa: "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."

*Love Island continues this evening at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
