Love Island fans are hoping to see a big change in how Boss casts the Islanders this year.
When ITV2’s dating show first launched, it had few showbiz ties and was filled with people from all over the UK, but as its popularity grew, so did the use of influencers.

For years, fans have begged for influencers to be dropped from the line-up and to return to the “normal people” who started the series.
But that all changed when Will Young, formerly known as @farmerwill on TikTok, joined the ITV show and became one of the most beloved male cast members of all time.
This prompted fans to reconsider who they wanted on the show, with one reddit user starting a thread and many others agreeing.
One user wrote, “I’m at a point where influencers are part of the lineup and that’s fine. If they’re social and don’t need a lot of direction or prompting. ba,” he wrote. You can impersonate a character and make him as funny as Will in Season 9.
“Personally, we’re not looking for a lot of the so-called ‘real, genuine, relatable’ type of players that we were last season. I think that’s what makes it bland.”
Another person went on to say, “Influencers and content creators like Will, especially in the first few weeks, are most accustomed to working with cameras right away, so it can be fun and not heavy.” I think,” he added.
A third added, “I don’t really care if you’re an influencer, as long as it’s entertaining.”
Love Island has had its fair share of “entertainers” on the show over the last few years, but Will has undoubtedly been a hit since he set foot in the villa earlier this year.
His participation in Love Island was announced a week before he hit the screens, and fans were overjoyed.
Will created farming TikTok videos featuring various animals on the farm, which became incredibly popular before he moved into the villa.
After moving out of his vacation home with girlfriend Jesse Winter, the two have created a TikTok together, and fans are only growing fonder of his account.
