The long wait is nearly over — Love Island returns to ITV2 on June 9 with a fresh batch of singles ready to cause a stir in the villa. Now entering its twelfth season and marking a decade on our screens, the hit dating series promises more drama, romance, and bombshells than ever before. Over the years, Love Island has made household names of stars like Olivia Attwood, Molly-Mae Hague, and Dani Dyer.

This summer’s lineup features influencers, athletes, performers, and entrepreneurs — all jetting off to Majorca with hopes of finding love (or at least a few hundred thousand followers). Here's a closer look at the new cast:

Helena Ford

A travel influencer and cabin crew member, Helena is no stranger to glamorous destinations. Known for her “come with me” videos, she’s already built a loyal online following by sharing sun-soaked clips from places like Dubai and Monaco. She's also a friend of former Islander Zara McDermott — which could give her a head start in the villa.

Megan Forte Clarke

Dublin-born actress Megan describes herself as a “modern-day Bridget Jones” with a magnetic mix of sass and vulnerability. Known for her pantomime work (including a recent stint as an Ugly Sister in Cinderella), she brings both theatrical flair and relatable charm. She also sports a distinctive lightning-shaped scar on her forehead — and proudly owns it.

Tommy Bradley

Boxing fan and nightlife lover Tommy is ready to shake things up this season. Having undergone a major physical transformation over the last year, he’s stepping into the villa with confidence and charisma. With a boxer brother and a cheeky charm, Tommy seems tailor-made for the show.

Shakira Khan

Shakira, 22, from Manchester, is a globe-trotting beauty with a taste for bikinis and beachside photoshoots. With stunning looks and international flair, she’s expected to be one of this season’s standout bombshells.

Lucy Quinn

The youngest in the lineup at 20, Lucy is a makeup artist from Liverpool whose glam looks and sharp skills already have her glowing online. She’s set to enter as a bombshell later in the series — and could definitely ruffle some feathers.

Aaron Buckett

Standing tall at 6ft 5, personal trainer Aaron is literally hard to miss. He’s already gained a following thanks to his intense workout clips and towering presence. Producers haven’t confirmed if he’ll be an original Islander or a bombshell — but either way, he’s bound to turn heads.

Harry Cooksley

Nicknamed “The Surrey Zidane,” 29-year-old Harry plays midfield for Farnham Town and is no stranger to attention — both on and off the pitch. With athletic prowess and natural charm, Harry is expected to be a popular pick among the villa’s ladies.

Sophie Lee

A survivor in every sense, Sophie overcame severe burns from a firebreathing accident and has since built a new life as a model, influencer, and published author. Working closely with Katie Piper’s foundation, Sophie brings beauty, resilience, and inspiration to this year’s lineup.

Dejon Noel-Williams

Semi-pro footballer and personal trainer Dejon balances his time between the gym and the pitch — with over 11,000 followers already appreciating the view. He’s also represented Grenada’s national team, adding international flair to the cast.

Blu Chegini

A 2023 Oxford Brookes graduate and construction project manager, Blu works in London but plays in Marbella, often jetting off for luxurious getaways. He brings a calm confidence to the cast — and a touch of sophistication.

Alima Gagio

Scottish beauty Alima holds a BA in International Business and has a passion for travel, often sharing envy-inducing holiday snaps. With brains and beauty, she’s poised to be a fan favorite.

Ben Holbrough

Model Ben has been working the camera for over five years and is no stranger to the gym. At 6ft 2, with a chiselled physique, he’s ready to make his mark in Majorca — and likely won’t stay single for long.

Megan Moore

Another social media-savvy hopeful, Megan regularly shares travel content with her growing fanbase. Her next stop? The Love Island villa.

Rose Selway

At just 24, Rose already runs a beauty empire with 12 tweakment clinics under the “Jessica Rose” brand. With a high-profile client list including ex-Islanders, she knows the game — and could prove to be a strategic player herself.

Kyle Ashman

The most mysterious Islander so far, Kyle keeps a low profile online with just one Instagram photo. But with an impressive six-pack and a no-nonsense vibe, he could be the dark horse of the season.

A New Era Begins

This season’s trailer teases even more twists and turns than usual, with host Maya Jama hilariously rejecting wild executive ideas like moving the show to the Isle of Wight or turning it into a musical. With a mix of glamorous jet-setters, everyday charmers, and dramatic backstories, Love Island 2025 looks set to be one of the most exciting yet. Whether you're tuning in for the romance, the chaos, or just the memes — the countdown is on.
