Bookies have already tipped two hopefuls to win this year's Love Island
Love Island 2025 kicks off tonight, with Megan Forte Clarke and Dejon Noel Williams already tipped to win - but a bombshell arrival has already thrown a spanner in the works
Love Island 2025 is set to kick off tonight, and anticipation for this year's villa hopefuls is already at fever pitch, with Megan Forte Clarke and Dejon Noel Williams tipped as early favourites to secure the much-coveted top spots.
The latest odds from betting gurus at OLBG suggest that Megan and Dejon are leading the pack as favourites for Top Female and Top Male of the season.
But with unexpected arrivals and last-minute line-up alterations, the villa is already brimming with surprises.
Megan Forte Clarke currently leads the board at 7/2, boasting a 22.2% chance of emerging as this year's queen bee. However, her reign could be brief.
A significant twist has already hit before the first coupling, with 24 year old American Toni Laites unveiled as the season's first bombshell. Her entrance could potentially shake up the market, reports the Express.
Love Island 2025: Top Female Odds
Dejon Noel Williams and Harry Cooksley are now neck and neck for the top male spot, both standing at 4/1 odds. Meanwhile, rugby player Conor Phillips has unexpectedly joined the competition following a dramatic reshuffle.
Love Island 2025: Top Male Odds
Just hours ahead of the season's launch, ITV confirmed that original contestant Kyle Ashman had been dropped after revelations surfaced about his previous arrest on suspicion of a machete attack.
He has now been replaced by Phillips, whose late entry could upset the balance.
Jake Ashton, Entertainment Betting Editor at OLBG, remarked:
"Every year we see bombshells disrupt the odds, and Toni could do just that. Once she's in the villa and viewers see her impact, expect her price to shorten quickly."
The Love Island villa is gearing up for excitement with bombshells already making waves - the betting odds are alive and kicking off.

The Chase star Mark Labbett 'fell asleep' during Celebs Go Dating date
Mark Labbett, best known to The Chase fans as quizmaster "The Beast", was reportedly spotted committing the faux pas during a date with a mystery woman while filming Celebs Go Dating "The Beast" from The Chase, real name Mark Labbett, found himself in an amusing pickle on Celebs Go Dating after reportedly dozing off during a date. Labbett, 58, well-known for his sharp intellect and straight-talking on the hit ITV quiz show, seemingly succumbed to sleepiness while the cameras captured the moment mid-date. The latest series of Celebs Go Dating, which was filmed last month, saw an insider reveal that there wasn't much spark between the quizzing legend and his suitor. An anonymous tipster dished: "Mark was yawning a lot and drifted off briefly. It was a bit of an awkward moment. It's safe to say there wasn't much of a spark between them." Previously weighing as much as 29 stone, Mark Labbett tied the knot with second cousin Katie in 2014 but called it quits after six years. He then dated TV host Hayley Palmer in 2023; however, the couple split after just one year together, reports the Express. Discussing his break up with Hayley, 43, Labbett confided in The Sun: "She's a lovely lady and I was very lucky to date her for a year, and as I said: it's me, I got old." He continued: "There's been no one since Hayley. I'm not saying there won't be another one. But I'm certainly not looking." Delving into his love life, Labbett reminisced: "I was single, not coincidentally, for a long, long time when I was a 29st maths teacher who knew it was quite hard to attract a partner then. So I'm quite comfortable without a partner." Mark's representative quipped a witty retort when questioned about the drowsy date: "If his date was as boring as you have suggested, I'm surprised he didn't take a pillow with him!". Celebs Go Dating chose to remain tight-lipped regarding the incident.

Surprise!" They quickly worked out she is American and on being the first American bombshell Toni says: "Lucky girl, aren't I?" Maya then explained that Toni was to immediately steal a boy. Toni then stole Ben, meaning Shakira was left single and vulnerable. But despite Shakira being the vulnerable one, fans were quick to say that they thought Alima was the most at risk. Alima is paired with Blu and fans think he will make a move for single Shakira. "You see that Blu, he is already calculating how to get with Shakira. Oh Lorddd! My Alima might be at risk," said one.

While a third agreed: "If Alima gets dumped because of the American I'm reporting the show to ofcom." A fourth then penned: "I don't know what to report but I want to report to ofcom." "Can you complain to Ofcom over #loveisland casting men that are exclusively awful?" asked a fifth. While someone else stated that they had already complained to Ofcom about the episode. In this year's series so far, there are six boys and seven girls - including one bombshell. Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy make up the OG guys. While Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena make up the OG girls. And Toni is the first bombshell of the series.
