'We're definitely in it for the long term'

Love Island couple Jessie Wynter and Will Young (not that one!) have been living at his family farm since returning from South Africa. Jessie tells new about how it's all going

A certain Casa Amor kiss nearly derailed their blossoming romance, but Love Island’s Jessie Wynter and Will Young have gone from strength to strength since they landed back in Blighty.

Tasmanian-born personal trainer Jessie, 26, who is temporarily living with Will, 23, and his family on their Buckinghamshire farm, couldn’t sound more smitten when we catch up with her for a chat.

“It feels like it’s meant to be,” Jessie tells new. “Will’s family have just been so wonderful, taking me under their wing. It feels like I’ve got my UK family here, which is just so amazing.”

Sparks flew immediately when Will met Jessie – who also starred in the Australian version of the show in 2019, where she came fourth. But when the farmer shared a smooch with Casa Amor’s Layla Al-Momani (after which a regretful Will said, “I feel like I f****d up big time!”), it looked like the writing was on the wall for their romance.

But the pair kissed and made up and right now Jessie sounds set on making a new life for herself in the UK with Will. “It may seem to others that it’s moving really fast, but for us, we just feel so happy and content,” she says.

Here, Jessie lifts the lid on Will dropping hints about marriage and children, what she thinks about being labelled “fake”and why she won’t be watching the show back any time soon…

Hi Jessie! How are things going with Will now you’re away from the cameras?
