Love Island' s Will Young has addressed the rumours regarding his sexuality and vowed never to change.
The reality TV star, who appeared on this year's winter series of the ITV2 show, says he was 100% himself in the South African villa and vows never to change for anyone.
Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, the TikTok farmer proudly states how he supports the LGBTQ+ community, as his brother is gay, and clarifies he is happy in his relationship with Aussie Jessie Wynter.
Thanks to his vibrant personality and eye-catching dance moves, Will's sexuality became the subject of speculation throughout his time in the villa earlier this year, but the loved-up star isn't too bothered by other people's comments.
"I was 100% myself in the villa. I’m happy with myself and I’m happy with Jessie," Will tells the Mirror.
"My brother is gay, and so I’m all for it. I don’t think anyone can say that to me in a negative way. As a person I’m very outgoing and charismatic, and I’m not going to change."
Jessie, 26, clearly feels the same as her new beau, adding: "It’s 2023 and judging people’s sexuality is outdated and needs to get out of the window."
Will and Jessie narrowly missed out on a place in the Love Island final earlier this month - being sent home just one day before the big occasion thanks to a public vote.
Instead of returning home to Tasmania, personal trainer Jessie flew back to Buckinghamshire with Will after they were booted out of the villa.
"We’ve been having an absolute blast. We’ve got me to the farm, we’ve got back to the country," Jessie says when chatting about her time in the UK with Will.
"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 and Jessie both seem keen to make their long-distance relationship work, with sheep farmer Will admitting after their Love Island exit: "I think it's very fair to say I would go to Australia.
"A relationship is a two-way thing. It would be unfair for me to rely on Jessie moving here 100%. Australia has always been a place I'd like to go to and travel."
