Will was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse at the age of 22, a heart condition in which blood leaks backwards through the mitral valve.

On behalf of the British Heart Foundation, he has delivered a number of talks to young people who are living with heart conditions like him.

In 2018, he filmed a short feature documentary called Sudden Cardiac Deaths for BBC Two which documented young people living with an undetected heart condition.

In April 2022, the presenter came out as gay in a powerful TikTok video and told fans that he had never thought he would speak about it on a public platform.

He said: “I’m Black, gay and proud. There, I said it.

“I never thought in a million years that those words would leave my mouth without me feeling cringed, uncomfortable or ashamed.”

He continued: “I think there’s power in knowing who you are and owning it.

"The one reason why I’m making this video about me being comfortable with my sexuality is because life is too short.

“So it doesn’t matter who you are, or what gender you are, just live your truth and be authentic to you.”
