Farmer Will Young on Love Island, lambing season and Sunday roasts

What happens when a sheep farmer goes on Love Island? Farmer Will joins Samuel Goldsmith to talk about life on the farm, finding love on TV, and why he once made his mum cook him a roast dinner every single night.

In this episode:

Farm to fame: how lockdown TikToks about sheep went viral, and the hard conversation with his dad before he went on Love Island

Finding love: why dating as a full-time farmer was so hard, and how he met his girlfriend Jessie

Mushrooms for the 3pm slump: better snacks, his air-fryer mushroom hack and how to stop mushrooms going slimy

The perfect roast: his tip for extra-crispy roast potatoes, and why Club Sunday wants families eating whole foods around the table again

Life on the farm: pet emus, donkeys and geese, lambing through the night, and the war Australia lost to emus

Culinary confessions: cooking disasters, his chocolate-and-cheese guilty pleasure and a quick-fire round where "roast dinner" comes up four times

Marathon Training: Will is training for the London Marathon to beat his dad's 2:30 time, and plans to open the family farm to the public.
