The Love Island 'Grafties' Shock Twists Revealed
The Grafties is back, with ITV recently opening their votes. And if this year's nominations are anything to go by, some of our islanders – including Dejon Noel-Williams and Harry Cooksley – could be in for an uncomfortable evening.
However, the nominations have left some Love Island fans feeling unhappy. With Toni Laites and Shakira Khan's names popping up in several categories, some viewers have hit out at producers – claiming the fan favourite duo are being given the 'meal girl' edit.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one fan wrote, 'Watch the Grafties make Toni, Yas and Shakira look bad, and watch Harry, Dejon and Meg get away with everything. This show is boring now.'
'First they bring back Megan, now pretty much all of the negative clips of Shakira for the Grafties. Love Island producers are really working overtime to try and cause a Shakira downfall,' added another.
And for some, the Grafties might be their final straw when it comes to the ITV dating now.
'The last two eps plus the preview for the Grafties tell me everything I need to know… The producers want Meg and Dejon to win for whatever reason. They rate game playing characters over genuine connections now. Throw away the whole show at this point,' wrote one viewer.
They're set to cause chaos during tonight's episode – but what exactly are the Grafties? Here's everything you need to know.
The Grafties are a public voted award ceremony that takes place in the villa, where islanders are awarded trophies based on certain categories. This year, viewers were given the chance to vote via polls on the official Love Island Instagram page story.
A little bit like the infamous movie night, the red carpet is rolled out as clips are shown on the big screen for our islanders to watch. More often than not, it's the prime time to bring up old drama with some clips our contestants have never seen before.
It's caused chaos in the villa during previous seasons. Need we remind you of 2023's Messy Mitch, whose savage 'Mad Moves' speech led to one of the show's most dramatic moments?
For this year's Grafties, our categories and nominees are:
The best no filter moment: Dejon, Harry, Toni & Shakira.
Most emotional moment: Cach, Shakira, Toni
Best double act: Shakira & Toni, Helena & Dejon, Meg & Helena.
Unfinished business: Harry & Emma, Shakira & Harry, Conor & Meg
Flirtiest performance: Harry, Jamie, Harry & Angel
Eat, sleep, crack on, repeat: Dejon, Conor, Helena
Fans who snuck a late look at the polls think they may have some idea who could be taking home the trophy in certain categories, but we'll have to wait and see.
We've got bad news. Unfortunately, the public vote is now closed. If you didn't vote in the Instagram polls, then you've missed out. The official Love Island Instagram announced the nominees on the 22nd July, allowing fans to vote for 24 hours exclusively via their social media.
Even if you didn't vote, you'll still get to see all the drama unfold.
2025's Love Island Grafties will take place tonight, 24 July 2025. As per usual, you can see it by tuning in for Love Island at 9pm on ITV2 or ITVX. It's about to get messy.

The awkward moments you missed from the Love Island finale - from 'jealous exes' Harrison and Emma's 'bitter' reactions to Harry's seething response to swipe from Shakira's mum
Love Island fans were over the moon when Toni Laites and Cach Mirjah Mercer were crowned winners of the twelfth series of the ITV2 show on Monday night. The loved-up pair beat Shakira Khan, 22, and Harry Cooksley, 30, to the top spot, while Yasmin Pettet, 24, and Jamie Rhodes, 26, placed third, and Ty Isherwood, 23, and Angel Swift, 26, came fourth. But some viewers may have missed some very awkward moments that happened during the finale that was filmed live from Mallorca. One specific moment is when Toni's ex Harrison Solomon, 22, rolls his eyes when she made a comment about his behaviour during the show. Maya pointed out: 'You did say that you learnt a lot being in here...' 'That's for damn sure,' Toni replied. An intrigued Maya continued: 'What has been the biggest lesson for you do you reckon?' Toni replied: 'Don't put up with sh**ty men.' The camera then went to Harrison sitting with partner Lauren Wood, 26, at a table in the audience. The footballer rolled his eyes a number of times shortly after she made the dig at him. The crowd cheered in support of her and then he mocked the cheers by joining in. He then rolled his eyes again when she revealed to the audience that Cach had dropped the L-Bomb. Those watching at home rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their shock. 'Look at Harrison pretending to clap.' 'Harrison and Lauren can keep rolling their eyes.' Another former flame of one of the finalists made some very good television. Maya popped over to Boris Vidovic, 28, and Emma Munro, 30, to chat about Emma's ex Harry. 'Harry was a big part of your story in the villa, now he's in the final, with Shakira. Do you see a change in him finally?' Maya asked. Emma didn't give an answer straight away and just said: 'Um' to which Maya said: 'Oh.' She continued: 'No I do. I think his relationship with Shakira is very different to the one with Helena and myself. 'I think it's normal though. Shakira is her own woman. We're different. We're different people, it would be weird if it was the same.' 'Is this a new leaf for him now?' Maya asked. Emma said: 'Hopefully. But I won't hold my breath...' Those watching at home were shocked at her words, with one saying on social media: 'Emma just needs to learn to give her opinion without sounding like a bitter jealous ex.' 'Emma is obsessed with Harry lmao she is his biggest hater - Its giving JEALOUS and BITTER.' 'One thing about Emma though, I don't think she likes the fact that Harry doesn't care for her opinion… she comes off a little bitter.' Not only that, Harry made a swipe about his new girl's mum. Just seconds before the winners were announced, Maya said: 'All your families came in, do you [Shakira] think your mum would give Harry a hug?' Shakira said: 'I mean... that would be a miracle. I don't know. I need to speak to her.' Harry added: 'I think she will. I think she would.' He continued: 'I heard she's done a nice TikTok of me...' Shakira looked over at the footballer VERY awkwardly. Maya told him: 'Maybe, I haven't seen yet.' 'I've heard, I've heard,' Harry told the host. Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their confusion on how he knew about the posts. 'Harry knows what Shakira's mum has been doing on TikTok. Guess it's the last night and that.' 'How does Harry know whats happening on TikTok? ' 'Where did Harry hear about Sukina's tiktok abt him?' Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their confusion on how he knew about the posts Toni has made history as the first American contestant to enter the UK Love Island villa and her and Cach seem set on making their relationship work despite the transatlantic distance. And fans seemed delighted with the decision as they took to Twitter to wish the couple congratulations. They penned: 'Justice served well done Toni & Cach... what a gentleman man he is'; 'Congratulations Toni and Cach. First American and she won. Iconic moves'; 'A bombshell + a casa boy winning love island - iconic!'; 'Love island didn't disappoint with Cach & Toni winning'; 'Toni was her true authentic self'; 'Amazing winners - hats off to the producers for an elite season of #loveisland'. Others teased how funny it was that Harrison was there to watch Toni win the 50k after previously leaving her for Lauren. They penned: 'Harrison had to watch Toni win 50k' 'Forget there were there, the win makes it even better'. Fans seemed delighted with the decision as they took to Twitter to wish the couple congratulations Shakira and Harry have had a rollercoaster journey in the villa with Harry's roaming eye causing plenty of upset. While the pair were originally coupled up, it wasn't long before his head was turned and he snuck off to the Hideaway with Helena. After changing his mind once again, he returned to Helena after the pair claimed to have a 'undeniable connection'. However after Harry discovered Shakira's feelings for her hadn't gone away, Harry recoupled with the 22-year-old, claiming his relationship with Helena was more friendship. Angel was the final bombshell in this year's series, only entering the villa two weeks ago where she immediately hit it off with Casa Amor boy Ty. The pair have gone from strength to strength despite Blu's attempt to turn her head earlier this week. It comes after Meg and Dejon became the latest couple to be dumped from the Love Island villa after the ex-Islanders had their say. And during AfterSun on Sunday evening, Dejon admitted he has been 'reflecting on his actions' since leaving the villa. The hunk came under fire for his behaviour towards Meg, after keeping her around but continuously flirting with every bombshell that entered the villa. While they are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend, they had a tumultuous time on the series - which this year has even been acknowledged in a Women's Aid statement. The charity accused some men on the show of 'showcasing toxic male behaviour' as well as 'gaslighting' and 'manipulating'. Speaking on Love Island Aftersun, Dejon, 26, told Maya Jama: 'It was interesting the way that we got dumped, because I feel like the decisions were definitely… you kind of heard from both people's point of view. 'Some people saw bad things and some people saw good things. So it definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa. 'Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was. 'But in the back of my head, I always knew it was Meg, so I definitely see why that kind of… there's a lot of opinions about that, and I feel like I could have explored connections with being less flirty and stuff.' The professional footballer added: 'I definitely understand why people have their opinions regarding that, and even there's times that, honestly, she's stuck by me, and she tells me how she feels, and she stuck by me more than more than she should. More than I deserve a lot of times.'
