Love Island’s Will Young has received death threats over his farming videos

Love Island contestant Will Young, who is set to enter the villa in a matter of days, has been plagued with death threats ahead of his debut on the show.

The 23-year-old farmer, who regularly posts videos of shirtless lambs on his social media platforms, has been attacked by trolls for the content.

Will, who already has a million followers on Tik Tok, recently caused a stir when he posted a video of himself helping a prolapsed sheep.

Graphic video showed Will coming to the rescue of the pregnant sheep using his bare hands, which divided fans online.

Other content includes a video of him helping a sheep through the birthing process, after the calf’s head and hooves got stuck.

Will previously addressed death threats he had received due to the vivid nature of the clips during an interview with the Financial Times.

Reflecting on the videos, he said: “It was just two helmets and a head, get it out, job done.” He would never have pulled out the camera for a situation he had no control over.

According to Sun, PETA shared one of the videos of Will helping a sheep give birth, writing: ‘This farmer is a disgusting creep. He is dancing on his body while he is giving birth.

In 2020, contestant Ollie Williams caused a stir for his inclusion on the show after footage surfaced of him posing next to slaughtered animals in Africa.

Ollie, who has denied being a trophy hunter, left fans “traumatized” as he posed with dead deer, which he killed while taking part in a cull at Dartmore.

Taking to Instagram, the 23-year-old aristocrat, who had previously branded himself a “passionate conservationist”, insisted that “hunting is conservation”, while boasting about the “great evening” he spent “stalking” the deer.

The images created a backlash from his Love Island student, including Shaughna Hughes and her followers online.

Elsewhere, Will revealed that Claudia Winkleman, 50, once came to his Buckinghamshire farmhouse and dumped a bucket of water on him while he was shirtless.

In November, the farmer took to TikTok, where he shared a video of his hilarious interaction with the Strictly Come Dancing host.

Before heading to the Love Island villa, Will was asked to give his ‘claim to fame’, so he recalled: ‘Claudia Winkleman came to my farm. She was gorgeous and she got stuck. She poured water on me.

And in the TikTok clip, Will, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts, feigns surprise when he sees Claudia sitting in her pigsty, holding a bottle of shampoo as she films a video of herself.

After accusing Head and Shoulders of preventing dandruff, the pigs instruct The Traitors host Claudia to “wet her hair” via a cunning voiceover.

In the clip below, Will is sitting topless on a bench, with Claudia standing over him as she pours a bucket of water over his head, much to the delight of his 1.1 million TokTok followers.

Will regularly shows off his muscular physique on TikTok, where he gives followers an insight into his rural lifestyle.

The farmer shears sheep and hangs out with pigs while getting dirty with the animals, all shirtless.

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 to go out and find love. 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.

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 on… that would be great.”
