Love Island needs to stop casting influencers and 20-year-olds – we know why they're on there and it undermines the show
WE'RE about to jump head first into another long hot summer, brimming with bikinis, fire pit chats and cringe new slogans, with the sultry tones of Iain Stirling's 'tonight… on Love Island' wafting through our living rooms. And while that might spark excitement for diehard fans like me, there's also a creeping sense of deja vu - because once again, despite vocal feedback from viewers, we're getting the same recycled formula: a villa Advertisement 7 We're about to jump head first into another long hot summer, brimming with bikinis, fire pit chats and cringe new slogans Credit: Instagram 7 Many of this year's Islanders have sizeable social followings Credit: instagram/sophirelee 7 Olivia and Alex were a success story - but an Insta following wasn't a guarantee on their series Credit: Rex This year's summer Love Island cast is a who's who of social media stars. There's from Sophie Lee's popular Instagram account, Helena Ford's travel diaries, and TikTok personalities Megan Forte Clarke and Aaron Buckett. Megan Moore and Rose Selway also boast impressive followings - the latter rubbing shoulders with Love Island alum, thanks to her celeb-favourite tweakment clinic. And then there are the 20-year-old's among the cast, who are apparently 'looking for love,' on the show. Now I'm not saying you can't fall in love and meet 'the one' at 20 - Olivia Bowen was just 22 when she met her now-husband Alex Bowen, and Love Island superstars But things were different then. Love Island wasn't a guaranteed career launchpad. A deal with PLT was a bonus, not a certainty. Advertisement Read More on Love Island Now, those going on the show have seen the roadmap to fame paved before them, and enter the villa with eyes on the prize - and the prize is not love. Frankly, there really aren't enough success stories to say that casting 20-year-olds on the show is a winning formula. In fact, Love Island is more likely to move to Canvey Island at this rate, than it is to find a couple of 20-year-olds who put all their eggs in each other's baskets. So doesn't it feel a bit odd that we're all sat, every night from 9-10pm, investing all our time into people who, let's face it, are on the show to further their followings, and not to recreate a storyline out of a Nicholas Sparks novel? Would it not be more rewarding to watch people in their 30s, - those who may be genuinely starting to question if love is still out there- given a real shot at finding their someone? It would surely make the show a lot more relatable for a lot of people, instead of seeing influencers sling one-liners at each other on a Balinese bed, before heading into the outside world to land a situationship and a podcast deal. Advertisement Most read in Love Island And nostalgia for the old Love Island is running high on social media. Viewers seem keen to bring it back to the days of construction workers and fishmongers walking onto our screens, not people who are friends of a friend with an Islander, or have famous football star dads and brand deals lined up. Love Island 2025 cast revealed as footballer, actress and beauty influencer who cheated death sign up But let's be honest, you can hardly blame the 20-year-olds and influencers for going on to the show. Of course, given half the chance, they're going to want to further their careers on the UK's biggest dating output. You'd take one look at Molly-Mae's business empire and flashy mansion, Still, it's starting to undermine what Love Island was originally about. It's less of a search for soulmates, and more a talent pipeline for the next PrettyLittleThing ambassador or social media star, as opposed to sourcing the UK's most enviable romance story. Advertisement But then you could also argue, if it's not broken don't fix it? Love Island winners - where they are now EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more. Here we take you through all of the 2025 - The second series of All Stars saw STATUS: Still together. 2024 - The summer Love Island saw and Josh Oyinsan were STATUS: Broken up. 2024 - The first ever All stars spin off show was STATUS: Still together. 2023 - STATUS: Broken up. 2023 - The first series of 2023 saw STATUS: Still together. 2022 - STATUS: Broken up. 2021 - STATUS: Still together. 2020 - The first ever winter Love Island saw STATUS: Broken up. 2019 - Series 5 saw STATUS: Broken up. 2018 - It wasn't surprising fan favourites STATUS: Broken up. 2017 - STATUS: Broken up. 2016 - Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde were together from the start of the series, and since they won the show they've had two kids and are married. STATUS: Still together. 2015 - Despite poor STATUS: Broken up. I just worry that it will become broken, that people are starting to fall out of love with the island of love. As a huge fan of the show, I'm not ready to switch off just yet. But I no longer watch with rose tinted glasses, I watch with a lot more scepticism than I once did, which is a shame. I find myself trying to decipher between showmance and serious, instead of sitting back and enjoying the chaos of it all. Advertisement And I guess the big question is, can Love Island ever get back to how it once was? Can people still find true love over fame? Well we could at least give it the best chance to prevail by choosing age and career wisely when casting. Maybe then we could rekindle that magic of the earlier seasons, you know, the ones that made Love Island iconic in the first place. 7 Are people starting to fall out of love with the show? 7 Contestants aren't wrong for wanting to find success on the show Credit: Instagram Advertisement 7 Can people still find true love over fame?

Kylie Jenner reveals plastic surgery secrets including doctor details and breast implant size in buried TikTok comment
KYLIE Jenner has finally revealed her plastic surgery secrets - including doctor details and breast implant size - in a buried TikTok comment. Reality star Kylie, 27, made the admission in response to influencer Rachel Leary, who had praised her chest as 'the most perfect, natural boob job ever' and begged for specifics. 6 Kylie Jenner has finally revealed her plastic surgery secrets - including doctor details and breast implant size Credit: Instagram/Kylie Jenner 6 Kylie first confirmed her surgery in 2023 Credit: Instagram/kyliejenner Rachel had uploaded a video on Monday asking Kylie to share what she 'asked for' when getting her breasts done. She captioned it: 'Help a girl out @Kylie Jenner, I just want to know how to get them to sit like that, respectfully.' To the surprise of many, the beauty mogul replied directly to the clip, writing: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.' The TikTok exchange comes two years after Kylie first confirmed she had undergone a secret breast augmentation at 19 - something she denied for years. read more on Kylie Jenner Rachel was stunned by the response, replying: 'KYLIEEEEE!!! you are the best THANK YOU!!!!' Fans quickly flooded the comments with praise for the star. Jenner's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, is a well-known celebrity doctor and is a longtime favourite of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. He performed Kris Jenner's facelift on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians , gave Kourtney Kardashian her boob job, and even carried out a revision facelift for Caitlyn Jenner pre-transition. Most read in Entertainment He also removed a tumour from Khloe Kardashian's face and helped Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna revise her silicone lip fillers. Earlier in his career, he was Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's go-to surgeon. Kylie Jenner snubbed on New York Knicks jumbotron who refuse to show her on celebrity row alongside Timothee Chalamet Kylie first confirmed her surgery in a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, revealing she had the procedure done before giving birth to daughter Stormi, now seven. She told Stassie Karanikolaou: "I got my breasts done before Stormi. Within six months of having Stormi – not thinking I would have a child when I was 20 – they were still healing.' She admitted she regretted the decision, adding: 'I had beautiful breasts, like natural t*ts, just gorgeous… and I just wished, obviously, I never got them done to begin with.' 'I would recommend anyone who was thinking about it to wait until after you have children. I have a daughter too. I would be heartbroken if she wanted to get her body done at 19.' Kylie's latest comments marked a major shift from years of denying surgery rumours. In 2015, the influencer denied breast enhancement on her app, attributing her changing shape to weight gain and ageing. She wrote at the time: 'My boobs are definitely three times the size, which bothers me,' she admitted in 2018, post-pregnancy - but stopped short of confirming implants at the time." 6 Kylie's latest comments marked a major shift from years of denying surgery rumours Credit: Instagram 6 Dr. Garth Fisher, is a longtime favourite of the Kardashian-Jenner clan Credit: Getty 6 Kylie made the admission in response to influencer Rachel Leary Credit: TikTok/rachleary 6 To the surprise of many, the beauty mogul replied directly to the clip Credit: TikTok/rachleary/Kylie Jenner
