William Robert Young was born on the 20th of January 1979 which means he was 24 this year.
He was born in Hungerford and grew up with his twin brother Rupert (who is 10 minutes younger than Will) and his sister Emma. Will says that if he was going to be anyone else for the day it would be Rupert, although when they were younger Will once almost died fighting with him on the sea bed while on a scuba diving holiday!
Will represented his school at rugby, basketball football,long jump, athletics and triple jump.
He got a degree at Exeter University in politics.
Will has a fear of heights
He has his belly button pierced
He also says he hates cotton wool, lolly sticks and stepping into a puddle with clean socks on!!
If he doesn't do well in his pop career he would like to become a zoologist.
