Love Islander Will Young has broken his silence on the feud between his "brothers" Casey O'Gorman and Tom Clare as he spends more time with Jessie.
It follows rumours circulating the trio have fallen out despite creating strong friendships in the ITV villa.
Since all contestants have returned to the UK, it seems Tom and Casey have remained close but Will has been spending time with girlfriend Jessie Wynter.
Farmer Will, 23, has been prioritising his Aussie beau, 26, as they admitted they are focusing on "ourselves".
"I was pretty close with Tom and Casey in the villa, you know, the three musketeers!
"But kind of outside me and Jessie are just focusing on ourselves," Will said on The Useless Hotline Podcast.
Jessie added: "We've been out on the farm, it's really hard, they're all like 'Come to Manchester' and it's like babe we're so far away! It would take us a day to get there."
There previously appeared to be some tension between Will and Casey following their departures from the ITV show as footage shown on Aftersun showed Casey discussing an interaction he had with Jessie.
He said it "seemed like such an act". During another scene, he suggested that she was "playing a game" in the villa.
Last month rumours of a feud between the boys had been fuelled after Will was left out of a reunion.
The speculation continued as Casey visited Tom in Barnsley, without Will.
However, a spokesperson for Tom told the Mirror: "There is no feud between the Three Musketeers, since coming out of the villa all of them have been busy and they look forward to reuniting soon. There's regular contact between all three."
Instead of returning home to Tasmania, personal trainer Jessie flew back to Buckinghamshire with Will after they were dumped from the villa before the final.
The couple were happy to put the drama in South Africa behind them, after fellow islanders turned on Jessie in their last week, branding her “fake” in a storm of sniping and backbiting.
The pair also admitted they came close to quitting the show after Will kissed bombshell Layla Al-Mamani, 28, when the girls were away in Casa Amor.
Since leaving the show, Jessie said: “We’ve been having an absolute blast. We’ve got me to the farm, we’ve got back to the country.
“ We went to Tesco for our first date – we did the big shop, picked up some snacks. Then we went to the village pub for steak and chips and a chicken burger. It was so nice to get out of the villa, and since we’ve left we’ve been a lot happier. We don’t have people interfering in our relationship.”
Will revealed he can’t wait to start his new life with girlfriend Jessie.
He said: “I wouldn’t be with her if I thought she wasn’t marriage material. Our plan is to split our time between the UK and Tasmania.”
