A sheep farmer is about to take the Love Island villa by storm!

Imagine we live in a world where Gen Z hear the name 'Will Young' and think 'TikTok' before they think 'Pop Idol' 😅

The Winter series of Love Island kicks off next Monday night at 9pm and earlier this week ITV introduced us to this year's cast.

And among them is Will Young, who, since being announced as part of the Winter Love Island cast, has been gathering a lot of buzz.

A 23-year-old farmer from Buckinghamshire, Will has made a name for himself on TikTok, creating content from the sheep and pigs he looks after.

Sound familiar? He goes by @FarmerWill_ on TikTok and up until his stint in the villa, he's been posting regular videos of himself with his beloved farm animals. From dancing with his sheep to eh...feeding them while topless.

It isn't exactly humble beginnings for Will. His family's estate is reportedly worth over £1 million!

And fans are already worried about who's going to look after the sheep while Will's in the villa. How do you explain to a sheep that you're jetting off to South Africa to be on a reality TV dating show?

In his VT, Will says he applied for Love Island because he finds it difficult to date and look after the farm at the same time.

"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".

We hope that future wife is up for the farm life as well because if his TikToks are anything to go by, things will get mucky!
