Winter Love Island star Will Young receives death threats after graphic video goes viral ITVWill Young, a contestant on the upcoming reality show Love Island, has received death threats after a graphic TikTok went public. The start of a new season of Love Island is only a few days away, as the show is set to premiere on Monday, January 16 at 9 PM GMT. These young singles will be whisked away to a villa in paradise, where they will hook up, fight, and recouple for the entertainment of a global audience. It\u2019s set to be the experience of a lifetime for the contestants, many of whom are basking in the newfound fame the show affords. However, that new spotlight is a double-edged sword, as one contestant is learning now that a graphic TikTok has been made public. Love Island contestant Will Young hit with death threats Before the first episode even aired, Love Island contestant Will Young had already made a name for himself online. As a sheep farmer who posted videos documenting his tranquil life, he already has over one million followers on TikTok. As a result, he\u2019s already had to deal with online trolls and even death threats. In an interview with The Daily Star Young revealed that he\u2019d received some backlash in response to a video he posted when coming to the aid of a sheep giving birth. This included death threats directed at the 23-year-old. The clip, which showed the cast member guiding the newborn through a difficult birth, was apparently taken out of context and spread online, Young says. Although it was \u201ca bit of a shock\u201d when he woke up to death threats, Young believes that the experience has hardened him and will make the experience of being on Love Island easier to deal with. \u201c[Y]ou can\u2019t please everyone and people will go to extremes so I think you\u2019ve just got take it as it comes.\u201d For his part, Young assured any animal-loving viewers that \u201c[e]verything that I do it is around the welfare of the animals. I would never put them in danger or anything because at the end of the day, I think people do forget that I am a professional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
