Irish sports star joins Love Island 2025 cast after last-minute shake-up
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Irish sports star has officially joined the Love Island 2025 cast - after a shock last-minute shake-up saw one original Islander pulled from the line-up just days before launch. Kyle Ashman was set to enter the villa in Mallorca alongside 11 other sexy singletons - but he was suddenly axed from the line-up over a previous arrest yesterday. An ITV spokesperson confirmed: "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned". And now, in a surprise twist, 25-year-old professional rugby player Conor Phillips from Limerick has swooped in to take his place. The former Munster Academy man, who was part of Ireland's Grand Slam winning under-20 squad in 2019, made two senior appearances for the province in the 2022/23 season. He now plays in the All-Island League for Terenure, and he has also appeared for Ireland's Sevens side - much like fellow Limerick man and former Love Island winner Greg O'Shea. The confident winger says he's after "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic" - and revealed he doesn't mind "a dominant woman". But don't expect him to be clingy. "I don't like to answer to anyone else. I like to do my own thing", he admitted, adding that being "too needy" is his biggest ick. He described himself as the "class clown type vibe", and joked his love life would be called 'Still Trying' - "it's got to be a rugby pun, hasn't it?" And while he says he'd be "keeping my head above water" in the dating world, he's ready to settle down and "invest in some stocks". As for his flirting style? "I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby… it doesn't work, but it gets them laughing." Conor becomes the second Irish contestant confirmed for this year's Love Island series, which kicks off Monday, June 9 on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Play. He'll be joined by Megan Forte, a 24-year-old musical theatre performer and panto star originally from Dublin. Now living in Brighton, Megan describes herself as bubbly and is looking for a man with a great sense of humour - and says she's more than happy with a "dad bod". The full 2025 cast includes Almia Gagigo, Helena Ford, Megan, Megan Moore, Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee, who will be coupling up with Conor, Ben Holbrough, Bly Chegini, Dejon Noel-Williams, Harry Cooksley and Tommy Bradley.

Star singer to perform at Gaelic Grounds as warm-up for mouth-watering Munster final between Cork & Limerick
GAVIN James will set the scene for Saturday's Munster final spectacular by playing a 40-minute warm-up set. There is the distinct possibility that Limerick are "in the heads" of their Cork foes considering they 3 Once again the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick will play host to the rivals 3 Gavin James is set to serve as the warm-up act before hurling takes centre stage And ahead of Saturday's 6pm throw-in Limerick GAA has announced that Dublin singer-songwriter James will get the occasion going from 4.35pm. "Gates will open on Saturday June 7 at 4pm. "Honing his performing and song writing gifts as a busker and pub performer in Dublin, to sold out world tours, Gavin's come a long way. Read More On GAA "James has built a community of fans that have seen his music streamed three billion times across the globe and earn diamond and platinum records in multiple countries. "He has also sold more than 250,000 tickets (and counting) worldwide with a live show that is as transporting as it is uplifting. "This June, James returns with a new single 'Cherry Cola', a precursor to a new album of original material that he's recording in a studio on a mountain outside his home city of Dublin." Earlier this week, Tipperary great Patrick 'Bonner' Maher Most read in GAA Hurling Speaking at the Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor Championship launch, he said: 'I think Cork should come back. They'll have a bit of a bite after what happened in the last game. 'I'm hoping for a classic Munster final, fire and brimstone, where two teams go hammer-and-tongs at each other. Tipperary GAA star 'had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview - 'It's going to be a hard one to call. Both of them are going to go hard at each other and see where the pieces fall. 'Judging on the last day, you'd say Limerick are one or two points ahead. 'But I wouldn't write off Cork because those boys are well able to play.' Limerick, who have won five All-Irelands and six Munster titles since 2018, are often placed in opposition to Brian Cody's four-in-a-row Kilkenny crop in debates over the greatest hurling team of all time. 3 Maher at the 2025 Electric Ireland GAA All-Ireland Minor Championship launch Credit: Inpho Maher came up against John Kiely's Limerick on several occasions in the latter half of his career, having also been part of the Tipp side who scuppered the Cats' quest for a fifth consecutive Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2010. But the three-time All-Ireland winner said: 'It's very hard to compare a team in one period to a team in the current period. 'There are so many variables, it's hard to say if they're as good or better than that Kilkenny team. 'I was lucky enough, or unlucky enough, to play against both. For their time and their moment playing, they're the best team that's there at that moment. 'I wouldn't compare against the Kilkenny team because they were a different animal and that was in their time. They're two serious outfits.'
