The doting farmer also rebuked an injured sheep in a video before returning to his farm and tending to help her.

However, during less sunny seasons, he opts for winter clothing and in a video he can be seen imitating ABBA while rolling in the mud.
Prior to his entry into the villa, Will said: “Growing up on a farm, it’s been quite difficult juggling relationships and work.”
‘Love Island will give me time off the farm just to go out and find love.’
Muscles: His hard work on the farm had resulted in a toned physique.

Hard Worker: Prior to entering the village, he said: “Growing up on a farm, it’s been quite difficult juggling relationships and work.”
“I think I’m at the point in my life where I’m mature enough to go find a wife.”
The farmer has a spiritual, revealing side: ‘Every night I light a candle and meditate for 20-25 minutes.’
‘A girl I was dating told me to meditate, I tried it and I loved it. I stopped seeing her and kept meditating!’
‘It’s a good way to reflect on yourself, take a minute in my day/week. It is very pleasant and prepares me for a good sleep.

Feeding time: He also documented how he fed his flock of sheep.
Selfie: He took numerous selfies with his woolly friends
And the bachelor has high hopes of achieving fame after the villa, revealing that he would love to be played by legendary broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, 96, in a film.
“Imagine hearing her soothing voice speaking while feeding the animals, top off, shorts onβ¦ that would be great.”
It comes after fans once again criticized the lack of diversity in the new lineup, noting that the contestants are “all size 8, Insta perfect six-packs.”
However, Twitter commentators have praised the reality series for the inclusion of the first partially sighted islander and for casting a model who has the skin condition vitiligo.
Skills: In a video she skillfully shears a sheep… that has ‘poo stuck all over it’
Hunk: The farmer will have no problem impressing the ladies of the village.
LOL: Showing his great sense of humor he also dances with a sheep in another clip
One of the main criticisms of this year’s programming is the lack of body diversity, with some accusing the show of featuring the same body shapes ‘year after year’.
‘Another #LoveIsland where body diversity is non-existent,’ one follower tweeted, with another concurring: ‘Another year without Love Island body diversity, ‘#LoveIsland’ amazes us.
I don’t know why I was expecting some body diversity on #LoveIsland this time. I hate to comment on the look, but it’s worrisome when everything is instantly perfect, six pack and size 8/10. Don’t they realize the influence they have on the young? Teaching them that this is normal is not right,’ commented another.
