Will Young will be taking part in the upcoming winter versio

An Aylesbury farmer is heading to South Africa to take part in the upcoming series of Love Island. 

Will Young is hoping time away for the busy job will help him focus on love and maybe even finding a wife.

In a promo video for the show he says his day job scan work in his favour because of the mix between being "strong and masculine" but also having a "loving, caring and wholesome" side.

Known as Farmer Will on social media channels the 23-year-old has amassed over 1 million followers on TikTok. 

His short videos are a mix of sharing what farm life is like, and dancing or even crawling in the mud. With lots of special appearances from the animals.

Meditation is also a big part of Will's life, with him spending around 20-25 minutes on the practice each day. 

The show returns to ITV2 on January 16th, with new host Maya Jama.
