When was Wil on Love Island?

Will entered the Love Island villa on June 13, 2024, as a bombshell alongside Grace Jackson and Tiffany Leighton.

He immediately coupled up with Uma Jammeh, and the pair seemed to be one of the strongest on the show.

But that all came crashing down during the aftermath of Casa Amor

This was after it was revealed he had hooked up with bombshell Lucy Graybill.

During the infamous movie night, Uma broke down in tears after she was shown clips of Wil snogging Lucy.

Fans then went on to accuse him of being "a villain" and gaslighting Uma when he refused to take responsibility.

However, the couple put their differences aside and moved forward with their relationship, despite new bombshell Reuben Collins making a play for Uma.
