Love Island Will recreates his viral awkward hug from the show

Love Island's Will has recreated his viral awkward hug from the first episode of the show.

Will Young and his partner Jessie Wynter narrowly missed out on the Love Island finale this season, departing the villa just two days before Sanam and Kai were crowned the winners. However, it was an awkward moment with his day one partner that had people talking.

The first episode of Love Island is known for having cringe-worthy moments, and you would think Olivia Hawkins choosing to couple up with future winner Kai before ending up with Will would have been the end of it. Unfortunately for Will, the hug they shared ended up being a big talking point among ITV2 viewers.

Will and Olivia shared an awkward hug when they were first coupled up, which Will was asked about when he appeared on the Saving Grace podcast. Host Grace said: "Shall we talk about the hug?"

Will then burst out laughing. He said: "I've seen it! I've seen it! It's so bad. You go up and it's like you go in for a kiss and you go..." before recreating the awkward moment, and breaking out into song.

He then said: "That was the first thing a lot of people said to me after I came out, was 'have you seen it?' and I hadn't, but then I watched it and I was like 'oh my days'."

People in the comments were loving his recreation. One person said: "Will is Gold!!!!" and another said: "best podcast ep ever."
