Here’s Your Love Island Cast For Summer 2025
Here we go again...
It’s that time of year again folks.
Love Island is right around the corner, and we finally have confirmation as to who will be entering the villa this summer.
Take a look below…
Name: Sophie
Age: 29
Job: Motivational Speaker and Author
Lives: Manchester
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…
Someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive. At the moment I’m only finding ones draped in red flags and ‘do not cross’ signs.
If you were the CEO of anything, what would it be?
I’m the CEO of empowerment. I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self.
Name: Dejon
Age: 26
Job: Personal trainer
Lives: London
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is….
Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy.
What’s your claim to fame?
My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. 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.
Name: Meg
Age: 25
Job: Payroll specialist
Lives: Southampton
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…
I’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.
If your love life was a business would it be booming or would you be bankrupt?
Bankrupt, right now. But we’re going to make sales and get on that corporate ladder and be booming. Profits, profits, profits!
Name: Ben
Age: 23
Occupation: Private Hire Taxi drive
From: Gloucester
What are you looking for on the Island?
Someone sexy, good looking, good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact — they’re all the traits I look for. Oh, and also a cute smile, I just look at you and know I can be around you all day, every day.
If your love life was a business would it be booming or would you be bankrupt?
Bankrupt. I’d have been out of business a long time ago. That’s exactly why I’m here.
Name: Alima
Age: 23
Job: Wealth Management Client Services Executive
Lives: Glasgow
Would Maya hire or fire you based on your flirting skills alone?
I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway.”
What are you looking for?
A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it.
Name: Tommy
Age: 22
Job: Landscape Gardener
Lives: Hertfordshire
On Love Island I’m looking for…
A girl who is very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I don’t know if that’s asking for too much, but I want a bit of everything. I haven’t got a specific type in terms of looks, though.
If you were the CEO of anything, what would it be?
Taking hours to do my hair.
Name: Helena
Age: 29
Job: Cabin Crew
Lives: London
I’m looking for…
Somebody funny or Northern. 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.
Would Maya hire or fire you?
It would only be a temporary contract.
Name: Kyle
Age: 23
Job: Water operative
Lives: Stafford
What are you secrets to success?
I find something to compliment a girl on and go from there.
What are you looking for in the villa?
Someone that’s fun, confident and just themselves.
Name: Megan
Age: 24
Job: Musical theatre performer and energy broker
Lives: Brighton, from Dublin
What’s your claim to fame?
Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I’ve also done Panto.
I’m looking for…
Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they’re not bad looking, that’s always a plus. I love a boy that’s a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don’t mind scrawny, or a bit of a ‘dad bod’. I’m 5ft1 so any height really.
Name: Blu
Age: 26
Job: Construction Project Manager
Lives: London
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is….
Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way.
Would Maya hire or fire you based on your flirting skills alone?
She’d fire me, but I’ve got the charm to smooth things over with a girl. The fact I speak fluent Spanish comes in handy when it comes to flirting!
Name: Shakira
Age: 22
Job: Marketing
Lives: Burnley
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…
Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny.
If your love life was a business would it be booming or would you be bankrupt?
Booming… but they’re all frogs. It’s a busy love life but I’ve not found ‘the husband’. I’m looking for ‘the one’. I’m looking for the ring.
Name: Harry
Age: 30
Job: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model
Lives: Guildford
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is….
The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don’t think I’d go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl.
What’s your claim to fame?
I’m the body double for Declan Rice. So 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.
Love Island series 12 returns on Monday 9th June at 9pm on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media Two
