Love Island 2023 had it's fair share of fallouts and one that shook the villa was when EVERYBODY turned on bombshell Jessie Wynter.

The Australian Islander joined the show alongside another Love Island veteran, Aaron Waters, and made a bee-line for fan favourite Will Young as soon as her feet hit South African soil.

It wasn't long before Jessie and Will realised how evenly matched their energy levels (and fashion sense) were and they became inseparable. Yes, we're going to ignore the Casa Amor antics, thank you very much.

The whole nation was gripped as we witnessed the romance blossom into more than just a summer fling and were horrified when their world come crashing down as Jessie's fellow Islanders accused her of being 'fake'.

Claudia and Samie talk to Jessie

From Casey O'Gorman to Rosie Seabrook, everybody seemed to have thoughts on Jessie and her apparent wicked ways and Farmer Will was having NONE OF IT.

Chatting on this weeks episode of GKBarry's podcast Saving Grace, Will offered up a secret or two including what he believed to be the real reason the girls turned on his girlfriend during the fight that divided the villa.

"To be quite honest I was fuming," he explained, "What made it worse was no one was direct in what they were saying."

The entire ordeal involved a lot of 'he said, she said', with Casey and Maxwell Samuda discussing Jessie's non-existent tears to Rosie and Lana Jenkins doubting the bombshells feelings for Will.

"She's honestly the sweetest, sweetest girl and she had all the girl's backs," Will continued.

To be fair, Jessie's BFF's Samie Elishi and Claudia Fogarty did take her to the terrace, which means something dramatic is about to go down, and told her what had been said behind her back.

At least those two can be safe in knowing Will is not shading them when he admitted, "There's certain girls that turned on her maybe for the show, for a bit of TV."

By certain girls we are PRETTY sure Will means Olivia Hawkins as the actresses name was thrown into the mix when the farmer chatted about how all the drama began.

Jessie was accused of being fake

"If Olivia was like 'I said Jessie's fake,' I'd be like 'Oh, alright cool,'" re-iterating the fact that it was because nobody was being honest about who was spreading rumours regarding Jessie that made Will so angry.

"It was like, 'this is what has been going around the villa, people have said this.' I was just, like, 'Am I in La La Land? What is happening?'"

Jessie and Will soon nipped the dramz in the bud but there's no denying it made for pretty good telly so if certain people did perhaps start the rumour for airtime we can neither confirm nor deny if it worked.
