He played the field and then settled with Zara [McDermott] and as weird as it sounds, that is the concept of Love Island. Outside of the show, it\u2019s a no-go, but in the show, that\u2019s the point of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continues: \u201c[The point of the show] is not to be coupled up with the first person you\u2019re with. You\u2019re supposed to play the field. What we forget from the outside looking in is if you met someone for three or four days outside, would people kick off if you went and spoke to someone else? No! None of these people are boyfriend and girlfriend and none of them have known each other for more than a couple of weeks, so play the field and find the one for you, then settle down.\u201d<\/p> <p>Wes is a busy boy at the moment \u2013\u00a0on Monday 9th August, he opened the doors of his home to MTV Cribs.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining why he decided to sign up to the show, the 23-year-old says, \u201cI\u2019ve become quite a house proud person and I think the older I\u2019ve got, I\u2019ve been more into houses and properties. I\u2019ve got addicted to buying stuff for the house and getting excited about different pieces of furniture, so it makes complete sense to invite the one and only MTV Cribs into my house. I think most people in my generation grew up watching MTV Cribs, and it was a dream to even have a house that was worthy of being on MTV Cribs. It was like a dream come true for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re wondering about the star room of his house?\u00a0\u201cI think maybe my studio,\u201d reveals Wes, who released his debut single See Nobody last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr maybe the snug, because the snug is above the balcony, and that\u2019s where I chill most of the time when I\u2019m not in the studio. I\u2019ll go to the mezzanine and chill up there. It\u2019s like a big cloud up there with lots of bean bags and it\u2019s very homey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>MTV Cribs continues Mondays at 8pm on MTV, while Love Island airs nightly on ITV2.\u00a0<strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch check out our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\">TV guide<\/a> or visit our dedicated <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Entertainment<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The series four contestant doesn\u2019t mind being compared to Toby. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":2927,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/love-islands-wes-nelson-boasts-about-toby-aromolaran-comparison-hes-carrying-the-villa-at-the-moment.jpg",620,413,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/love-islands-wes-nelson-boasts-about-toby-aromolaran-comparison-hes-carrying-the-villa-at-the-moment-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/love-islands-wes-nelson-boasts-about-toby-aromolaran-comparison-hes-carrying-the-villa-at-the-moment-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/love-islands-wes-nelson-boasts-about-toby-aromolaran-comparison-hes-carrying-the-villa-at-the-moment.jpg",620,413,false],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/love-islands-wes-nelson-boasts-about-toby-aromolaran-comparison-hes-carrying-the-villa-at-the-moment.jpg",620,413,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/love-islands-wes-nelson-boasts-about-toby-aromolaran-comparison-hes-carrying-the-villa-at-the-moment.jpg",620,413,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/love-islands-wes-nelson-boasts-about-toby-aromolaran-comparison-hes-carrying-the-villa-at-the-moment.jpg",620,413,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The series four contestant doesn\u2019t mind being compared to Toby.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/2926"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
