Love Island's Kai Fagan breaks silence on Will Young feud after Instagram snub
Kai Fagan has addressed the alleged feud between Will Young and his fellow Winter Love Island contestants, admitting that his former reality TV co-star is 'doing his own thing' now that the season is over.
Will hit headlines in August after unfollowing a number of people who starred alongside him on the ITV series in January, in what appeared to be a savage swipe against his ex roommates in the South Africa villa. The 23-year-old has reportedly now disconnected from his castmates altogether, after coming to blows with former besties Casey and Tom in the house and subsequently being snubbed from their group chat
Kai, who won the season with Sanam Harrinanan, has now made a brief comment about his current relationship with his former castmates, including the divisive Buckinghamshire farmer.

Will Young has unfollowed many of his Love Island co-stars (farmer_will_/Instagram)"I speak to them when I see them, and when I see them at events we catch up on group chats, but everyone is doing their own thing. Will seems like he’s doing himself," he told the Sun at the Pride of Britain Awards in London on Sunday evening.
"There is still a Whatsapp group but obviously Will has had a bit of a disagreement with a few of the boys, but apart from that I have no animosity towards Will, we got on, but we weren’t best friends."

It's no secret that the 23-year-old, who finished in fifth place alongside Jessie Wynter on the January edition of the ITV reality series, left the show on bitter terms with other castmates.
Rumours of a feud date back to a February 2023 episode of Winter Love Island, which saw Tom Casey and Casey O'Gorman accusing Jessie of faking her feelings for Will. Their comments, in turn, prompted the farming expert to confront his mates on the matter, which only exacerbated tensions in the villa.
Casey immediately denied he'd badmouthed Jessie, even going as far as to contradict his previous statements altogether and insist he actually thought she was 'genuine'. This exchange left viewers of the show fuming, with many taking to social media to slam the recruitment consultant as insincere.
"Did Casey just lie to Will? I’m sure we all watched him speak to Tom & Samie AND Maxwell about Jessie not being genuine?" one frustrated viewer wrote.
Will said he was "livid" over the situation, fuming on the aftershow: "I said so many times, be honest with me, be open with me and the boy lied."
He has since unfollowed both Casey and Tom, as well as Ron and Kai, on Instagram. Will explained that he made this decision to disconnect after realizing he'd been removed from their group chat on the same night that the boys went out for dinner without him.
"I was invited but I couldn’t go – I live out of the city, I’m working on the farm and focusing on my girlfriend. They had their dinner and from what I saw on their [Instagram] stories had a couple of drinks, had a good time and then later that night Ron removed me from the group chat," he told Heatworld. "I was really confused but I sat back and thought, you’ve got four people sat at a table, a conversation about me would have happened, I don’t know what is it, so although Ron removed me I think it was a whole group situation."
