Ten years after the first ever Love Island series landed on our screens, the show has returned for it's 12th season of love and what a series it has been.
Maya Jama returned as the host for her third summer and she teased even more "twists than ever" in this season and the producers have not disappointed. From the messiest of love triangles with the likes of Toni, Harrison and Lauren to brutal dumpings including fan favourite Tommy Bradley, it's been a series that had us hooked from the beginning.

But after a dramatic Casa Amor, an explosive movie night and with award season coming up, there's still plenty more to come before we reach the final.
Here's the full round up of all the Love Island contestants we've enjoyed getting to know this summer including new bombshells and those who have been dumped.
Here's the full Love Island 2025 line-up...
Andrada Pop
Age: 27
Job: Personal trainer
From: Dublin, Ireland
Andrada entered as an explosive Casa Amor bombshell and caused fireworks with Dejon as she set her sights on him. Despite not coupling up with him to return to the main villa (she came back with Ben), they continued to explore her connection once they returned.
However, once Dejon backed off, Andrada and Ben found themselves voted the least compatible by the public vote and were dumped immediately.
Lucy Quinn - DUMPED
Age: 21
Job: Makeup artist
From: Liverpool
Lucy entered as the youngest contestant this year and as a Casa Amor bombshell. Upon entering the villa, she set her sights on Tommy as she thought he was "just a lovely lad" with "good morals".
Lucy and Tommy hit it off immediately with him deciding to couple up with her over Emily back in the main villa. Things were going well until the public made them vulnerable as the least compatible which then saw Shakira and Ty vote them off.
Cach Mercer
Age: 24
Job: Professional dancer and model
From: East London
Cach came in as a Casa Amor bombshell determined to show Toni all the benefits of a good relationship. However, despite coupling up together, Toni's head couldn't be turned from Harrison and now he's keen to explore other connections.
Ty Isherwood
Age: 23
Job: Site engineer
From: Barnsley
A Casa Amor bombshell, Ty was keen to come in and sweep Shakira off her feet. While they did have a connection, she eventually chose Conor over him leaving him single and free to mingle.
Emma Munroe
Age: 30
Job: Hydrogeologist
From: Norwich, Norfolk
Emma bravely walked in as Harry's long term ex-girlfriend for Casa Amor fun. She made it clear from the get go she wasn't interested in rekindling and therefore focused her energy on Conor.
Boris Vidovic
Age: 28
Job: Model
From: Slovenia
A Casa Amor bombshell, Boris headed onto Love Island and first coupled up with Billykiss.
A real catch, he can speak five languages and is after a girl who can "match his energy". A beautiful smile, a nice figure and a great personality were also on his list of musts.
Lauren Wood
Age: 26
Job: Dog walker
From: York
It's been a tough journey on Love Island for Lauren who found herself coupled up with Harrison after Casa Amor. Smitten, she's been a key point in a messy love triangle with Toni.
Before going into the villa for real, Lauren was actually used for the dry run of the show and producers loved her so much they guaranteed her a spot on the Casa Amor line up.
A source said: "Fans will feel like she’s going in there as a producer plant as she’s been specially chosen and has the added advantage of having been among crew, in the villa, and knows how everything works."
Jamie Rhodes
Age: 26
Job: Electrical engineer
From: Barking, London
Coupled up with Yasmin, things are currently going well for Jamie in the villa. When asked about his type before heading in as a Casa Amor bombshell, he said he was after: "Bubbly, cheeky, outgoing, good face card and a nice bum."
Billykiss Azeez
Age: 28
Job: Influencer
From: Dublin, Ireland
Entering as a bombshell later on in the series is no easy challenge and poor Billykiss was thrown straight into the drama after expressing her interest in Dejon.
Sadly, no real strong connections have been formed in the villa for her just yet but anything can happen in Love Island 2025.
Caprice Alexandra - Dumped
- Age: 26
- Job: Nursery manager
- From: Romford, Essex
On the hunt for her husband, Caprice entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell. Picking Dejon Noel-Williams as the man she wanted to get to know, the pair got to have a sleep over in the Casa Amor villa.
However, after 48 hours, Dejon decided his connection with Megan Moore was stronger and sadly, Caprice was dumped from the island.
Will Means - Dumped
- Age: 25
- Job: Personal trainer
- From: Norfolk
Entering the villa as a bombshell, Will was on the lookout for his soul mate who he could have fun with as well as workout alongside.
Will chose to get to know Emily in the Casa Amor villa, however, after just 48 hours he was brutally dumped as she chose to stay in a couple with Conor.
Poppy Harrison - Dumped
- Age: 22
- Job: Dental nurse
- From: Stoke on Trent
Poppy entered Love Island as one of four bombshells who got to have a sleepover in the Casa Amor villa with the contestant of her choosing.
Wanting to get to know Remell, Poppy was convinced he would couple up with her but was shocked to find her Love Island journey was over already when he remained partnered with Alima back in the main villa.
Giorgio Russo - DUMPED
- Age: 30
- Job: Account Manager
- From: Kent (lives in Sydney)
Following The Sleepover Giorgio was chosen by Helena to head back to the main villa, however, their romance quickly turned into nothing.
He explored connections with Yasmin and Casa Amor bombshell Yasmin Broom but failed to find a connection strong enough to keep him in the villa for long.
Fun fact, he's also the older brother of famous England Lioness footballer Alessia Russo.
Harrison Solomon
- Age: 22
- Job: US college soccer player and student
- From: Derby (lives in Miami)
Harrison has proven to be one of this year's more controversial contestants as he continued to play the ladies throughout the series.
Involved in multiple love triangles including Toni, Helena and Lauren, who will this islander finally commit to? Only time will tell.
Malisha Jordan - DUMPED
- Age: 24
- Job: Teaching assistant
- From: Broxbourne
After being dumped from the show, Malisha said she had no regrets despite a few heated moments with fellow islander Meg Moore.
She said: "I don’t regret anything, I did what I needed to do as a bombshell. Sometimes the reactions were a bit uncalled for.
"I did go into the first chat with an open mind and I said I don’t want to have any arguments. Then it just got heated. I’m not here for the drama… a lot of it was miscommunication.
"Dejon was telling her one thing and telling me another. It was a mix up that wasn’t necessary. They act like they’re not closed, but they are closed off."
Yasmin Pettet
- Age: 24
- Job: Commercial Banking Executive
- From: London
Before entering the villa Yasmin told ITV she is "looking for a guy who is fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter."
When asked if you were the CEO of anything what would it be she said: "Flirting. I’d definitely say it’s all in the eyes" but she made it clear that her biggest ick is "a guy that’s stingy".
Emily Moran - DUMPED
- Age: 24
- Job: Insurance Development Executive
- From: Wales
When ITV asked Emily what type of islander she'd like to couple up with she said: "Someone with emotional intelligence for one. Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps!"
She explored connections with Conor and Tommy but was another Casa Amor casualty.
Sophie Lee - DUMPED
- Age: 29
- Job: Motivational Speaker and Author
- From: Manchester
After suffering severe facial burns, Sophie became an author as she released her memoir 'In My Skin'. Speaking about the incident, Sophie said: "When I was 22 a fire breathing accident changed my life. Because of the depth of my burn, I’m very lucky to be alive. I developed a keloid tumour. I found out there was no cure in the world. I became an international case study."
"It’s been a long process and I’ve documented it very openly. For me it’s about raising awareness and also helping other trauma survivors. I’m very honoured, now they’ve put this surgery to be available on the NHS for many more patients. It can be seen as a medical breakthrough."
In the villa, Sophie is looking for "someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive".
She also says she's the "CEO of empowerment. I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self."
Sadly Sophie became the first Love Island 2025 contestant to be evicted after her partner stood up to couple up with someone else in week 1's shock twist.
Dejon Noel-Williams
- Age: 26
- Job: Personal trainer
- From: London
Dejon, semi-professional footballer himself, says his claim to fame is the fact that his dad is an ex-professional footballer. "I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him," he says. "When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we’d go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I’ve met David Beckham, he was really nice."
Dejon is hoping to couple up with "someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy."
Megan Moore
- Age: 25
- Job: Payroll specialist
- From: Southampton
Joining the villa this summer is Meg, and she'd like to meet someone "who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile. He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with."
Meg's biggest ick is poor hygiene. "You have to be clean, if you’re not changing your boxers, if you’re not brushing your teeth, if you’re not washing your nails and keeping your feet nice...that’s an ick."
Oh, and flip-flops: "I hate flip flops on men! If you wear flip flops around me I can’t stand it."
Tommy Bradley - DUMPED
- Age: 22
- Job: Landscape Gardener
- From: Hertfordshire
Tommy was looking for a girl who is "very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously."
As for his type on paper? "I want a bit of everything. I haven’t got a specific type in terms of looks, though."
He explored connections with Megan Forte-Clarke, Emily and Lucy Quinn who he left the island with after being voted the least compatible.
Alima Gagigo - DUMPED
- Age: 23
- Job: Wealth Management Client Services Executive
- From: Glasgow
The stunning Alima wanted a "tall man with a handsome face". She added upon her entrance: "You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it."
Unfortunately Alima was unlucky in love in the villa and was dumped following a recoupling.
Ben Holbrough - DUMPED
- Age: 23
- Job: Private Hire Taxi driver and model
- From: Gloucester
Ben was hoping to be coupled with up with someone who was "sexy, good looking, good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact." Oh, and also a "cute smile".
He explored multiple connections but was eventually dumped in his couple with Andrada after being voted the least compatible by the public.
Megan Forte Clarke - DUMPED
- Age: 24
- Job: Musical theatre performer and energy broker
- From: Brighton, from Dublin
Megan began her Love Island journey with favourite Tommy but played a dangerous game when she decided to explore a connection with Conor. She ended up being dumped from the villa after being voted the least popular girl.
Helena Ford
- Age: 29
- Job: Cabin Crew
- From: London
29-year-old Helena entered the villa this summer looking for "somebody funny or Northern".
Explaining why, she said: "I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. If you look through my previous dating history, you’ll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed."
Helena is a "reformer pilates princess" and Justin Bieber also follows her on Twitter/X.
Conor Phillips
Age: 25
Job: Professional rugby player
From: Limerick
ITV announced Conor as a newly confirmed islander for the original line up but what's Conor looking for in the villa? "Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman," he said.
And revealing his biggest ick, Conor said: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing."
Blu Chegini - DUMPED
- Age: 26
- Job: Construction Project Manager
- From: London
Blu, from London, is looking for someone who is "family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive." He says "personality goes a long way".
Blu speaks fluent Spanish which he says comes in handy when flirting with the girls.
Shakira Khan
- Age: 22
- Job: Marketing
- From: Burnley
Shakira says she's got a busy love life but she's "not found ‘the husband’" yet. She's hoping to find "the one" in the villa and she's "looking for the ring".
Her type on paper? "Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny." And her ick? Bad breath.
On top of her marketing job, Shakira also dresses up as a princess for kids parties on the weekend.
Harry Cooksley
- Age: 30
- Job: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model
- From: Guildford
Semi-pro footballer and Declan Rice 'body double' Harry is looking for a girl that "makes me laugh" and someone who can "hold eye contact with me". He says he doesn't think he'd go for the most obvious girl... he prefers a "real sweet girl".
Explaining his connection to England star Declan Rice, Harry explained: "When he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You’ll never see my face, but you’ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing."
Antonia Laites
- Age: 24
- Job: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server
- From: Las Vegas
Toni was the first bombshell of many to come this series. The 25-year-old brunette who hails from Connecticut has said she's looking for: "Someone that can make me laugh - I’m super outgoing. And someone that’s quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together."
She's ditched The States for Majorca as she says dating in America is "a mess". "I live in cities that are fast-paced and party places; Las Vegas and Florida. People are here for a good time, not a long time.
"I live in Sin City! I do love Las Vegas. I’ve met some of the greatest people I’ve ever met there. I’m willing to relocate, it would just break my heart to not have my job anymore," she said before heading into the villa.
Shea Mannings - Dumped
Age: 25
Job: Scaffolder
From: Bristol
Shea Mannings switched his day job and semi professional football career for a summer in the Love Island villa in the hope of finding his forever partner.
Talking about his requirements heading onto the show, he said: "She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together.
"Also, I have a little boy, so I’ll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too."
Despite a "booming" love life, he's after someone more serious and ready to settle down. Sadly, Shea didn't find a connection in the villa and was dumped on day 15.
Remell Mullins - DUMPED
Age: 24
Job: Self Improvement Content Creator
From: Essex
Remell has a successful career and Instagram profile on the outside of the villa and is looking for a girl just as ambitious as he is.
He said he was looking for: "A bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun girl. One feature that stands out to me is a nice smile, nice teeth and someone that can keep me on my toes."
The 2025 contestant went on to say someone who wasn't driven would be a big ick for him as he added: "Not having any ambition or goals. If I can’t talk to a woman and pick her brain, have some discussion, that’s a huge turn off for me as where are we going to be going?"
