What is the Love Island 2025 start date?
ITV have now official confirmed Love Island is returning on Monday June 9th.
They announced the start date via an Instagram post saying: "Mark your calendar, you're invited to this year's hottest meeting ❤️🔥 📅 Time: June 9th, 9pm. 📍 Venue: Your Sofa (via ITV2/ITVX) 🗒️ Agenda: Initial coupling, strategic navigation of red flags, and identification of potential long-term partnerships."
What has Maya Jama said about returning to Love Island?
Following Love Island All Stars 2025, it was reported Maya was quitting the show and moving on to new projects so you can imagine our relief when she denied such a thing.
Taking to Instagram to confirm her hosting spot for the summer, she said: "I will be presenting Love Island and have no plans to leave right now.
"I filmed promo a couple of days ago actually. Fake news is fake news-ing as usual.”
Who are the Love Island 2025 contestants?
ITV producers always keep pretty tight-lipped over the cast for the show but of course, there are plenty of rumours of who could be going in.
As the 2025 series approached, there's been reports bosses have their eye on Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley's daughter Gabriella. She has reportedly said no to the show before but could this be her year in the villa?
Other reports suggest the show could have their first ever transgender love hopeful in the form of Michelle Roscoe.
A source told The Sun: "They have met with Michelle and spoken to her about whether Love Island would be the right show for her. She is absolutely gorgeous and an advocate for the trans community so she’d be an incredibly interesting contestant."
Love Island opens up applications following each series but producers also find contestants by scouring social media and scouting talent for themselves.
