Devastated farmer Will Young broke down in tears with Love Island staff ­after his cheating came to light.

The 23-year-old had to be taken aside and calmed down after his Australian partner Jessie Wynter found out he had kissed Casa Amor bombshell Layla Al-Momani, 28.

His breakdown came after a tense recoupling shown on Thursday night’s show.

Emotional Jessie, 26, appeared heartbroken when she discovered Will had not been faithful – and Will’s emotions spilled over.

A source said: “After the cameras stopped rolling Will was spoken to at length by members of the psychological support team.

“There were concerns for his future on the show. He was very upset.”

Will, who documents his life on a farm on social media, chose to remain with Jessie.

But he admitted that seeing the personal trainer walk in with another man or having to explain what he did with Layla would leave him broken.

He said: “I have let myself down, and I hope I haven’t let Jessie down, to be quite honest.’ And he then confirmed that he was ­“staying loyal” to Jessie – who struggled to accept his apology.

She told the other girls she had planned to come back to the villa from Casa Amor and tell him she loved him.

The couple remained the bookies’ favourites to win last night, despite their wobble.

A spokesman for the show said: “We have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times. They monitor and regularly speak to all of the Islanders in private and off camera.

“Islanders are always able to reach out and talk to someone if they feel the need. We will continue to monitor all of our Islanders in line with our robust protocols.”

Love Island returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and the ITVX platform
