‘Awww but Will is adorable right now’ gushed a third watcher.

Sharing their view that they’d love a bombshell girl to arrive that would be suited to him, another commented: ‘Please they need to send a nice sweet girl for Will.’ 

During the episode, following the recoupling for Tom and Olivia, Will declared that he had to ‘graft a little harder now.’  

Later in the Beach Hut Will said: ‘[I’ve] got to do a lot of grafting, do a lot of talking and try to take in as much as possible.’
