TikTok’s Farmer Will is trading his wellies for some sunnies as he prepares to enter the Love Island villa. The TikTok star, who has over 1.1m followers on the platform, is on the hunt for love.
The shepherd, who became popular on TikTok for showing off his sheep, is a cast member on this year’s winter instalment of ITV’s Love Island, which will take place in South Africa.
The 23-year-old from Buckinghamshire described himself as a "bit of a cheeky chappy, good vibes, good to be around," and says Love Island will give him time away from the farm to search for that special someone.

Speaking in his Love Island promo video, he said while he has “been a bit cheeky out in the fields”, he's now looking for a wife to help him out on the farm.
“I basically post videos on social media of me with my animals… being on social media you get a lot of attention, girls are in my DMs asking ‘Can I come to the farm?’, so it's almost put out on a plate for me.
“On a night out, I am an absolute loose cannon, I go out with my friends and disappear, I'll be going out speaking to new people. I'm super energetic and I definitely do think it will draw girls towards me,” he added.
"I'm 100% going miss my animals going into the villa but I'm looking to find love and ultimately a wife to help me out on the farm."
Will says he can be very romantic "for the right girl" and once took a date to one of his favourite farm spots. "I took a girl on a date to the bottom of our farm where there’s this really nice hill with amazing views surrounding it," he said. "I put fairy lights all up in the tree, I set up a picnic with wine and we watched the sunset."
Will was also lucky enough to be visited by a celebrity while at work. Claudia Winkleman came to my farm. She was lovely and got stuck in. She poured water over me," he said. He's also a fan of Sir David Attenborough, and would choose him to play the lead role in a movie about his life on the farm. "Imagine hearing his calming voice talking while he’s feeding the animals, his top off, some short shorts... he would rock it."
Asked who he would invite to a dinner party, Will said: "Definitely Sir David Attenborough again - he’s back in, in his shorts. And probably Boris Johnson. He would be really interesting to speak to. The conversation would be on point."
Love Island returns to screens on Monday, January 16, for its first winter series since before the coronavirus pandemic. TV and radio presenter Maya Jama is taking over as host from Laura Whitmore who announced she was stepping down from the show in August following the last summer series.
