LOVE Island star Will Young has revealed he will be keeping things PG in the villa – because his grandparents will be watching.

The TikTok star, 23, is heading into the villa next week and is hoping to find love, but admits he doesn’t know if his elderly relatives will watch him.

Explaining their reaction to him doing the show, Will said: “Yeah, to be honest, it went straight over their head.

“They have not got a clue. They don’t even understand my TikTok or anything like that, so. It just went straight over their head.

“They’re early sleepers. They might watch it on record, but I think it would be quite nice. I think they will dibble dabble over it. I don’t think they’ll watch it every night. I’ll have to keep it PG.”

Will went on to reveal just how close he is to his family and how important it is for the lady in his life to get on with them.

“I’ve lived at home all my life. I think the longest I’ve been away from home is seven days.

“So I would definitely miss the animals and my family, and I live next door to my grandparents as well. So I think that would be quite tough – getting out of that safe space and chucked in the deep end.

“My family are really sound. I’m sure the girl that I was to couple up with would be amazing as well so. I’m a big family person. Family is really, really important to me. I would be nice with everyone, having a big, loving happy family.”

Will’s decision to take part in Love Island has meant his dad has been left short on the farm.

“It took a lot of time setting in place with the farm, obviously, because it’s me and my dad working,” he told us.

“Me getting taken out of it, there was a lot of thought that went into it of different things that we could do. We’ve basically got someone in to replace me while I am away.”

Will is one of the ten stars who will be this year's originals in only the second-ever winter edition of the show.

The new Islanders are set to enter the Love Island villa in South Africa on January 16 as new host Maya Jama takes over from Laura Whitmore, who announced she was stepping down in August.

The new series is the show's first winter series since before the coronavirus pandemic.
