Love Island 2025 live: Brutal twist rocks villa as bombshell enters during first episode moments after couples revealed
THE new series of Love Island has been rocked by the arrival of its first bombshell - gorgeous American Antonia Laites.
Antonia - known as Toni - made her shock entrance moments after the 12 new girls and guys had coupled up with each other.
In a savage twist, Toni was told to pick a man as they gathered around the revamped fire pit and she chose footballer Ben Holbrough.
This has now left Shakira Khan, who was coupled up with Ben, single.
Shakira has just 24 hours to find a connection with a new man otherwise she is out of there.
The new couples are: Shakira & Toni, Meg & Dejon, Sophie & Harry, Helena & Conor, Alima & Blu and Megan & Tommy - with Shakira now being single.
In scenes yet to be aired, one unlucky girl has already been booted out of the villa.
Viewers think Shakira will fail to find herself a man by tomorrow and get the chop as a result.
Love Island is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year – and has hit 2 BILLION streams on ITVX.
Host Maya Jama will kick off the brand new series tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Sydney Sweeney stuns in elegant blue dress at glitzy UK premiere of her latest movie
SCREEN star Sydney Sweeney steals the show at the glitzy UK premiere of her latest movie. The Euphoria actress, 27, walked the red carpet for new thriller Echo Valley in an elegant pale blue dress alongside co-star Julianne Moore, 64. 3 3 The European premiere took place at BFI Southbank, London, yesterday. It comes as Gigi Paris — ex-girlfriend of Sydney's former co-star Glen Powell, 36 — brought 2023 cheating rumours between the pair back to life. Gigi said she took the option of saying: 'No, I'm actually not OK with this, and I'm walking away. "That's what I decided to do.' Sydney is one of the most in-demand women in Hollywood, after TV show Euphoria — for which she is currently filming a third series — put her name in lights six years ago. Now, she is also taking the leading role in a new biographical film about US female boxer Christy Martin. Director David Michod said: 'Sydney trained her butt off to play the part. "The beauty of Sydney is she turned up every day with her tail wagging, ready to go. 'No matter how tough it was, she was like a ray of sunshine.' Meanwhile Sydney has just cleaned up by turning her used bathwater into limited edition bars of soap.

Love Island fans 'rumble' first Casa Amor bombshell - and it's a past Islander
Love Island 2025 viewers are convinced they know the first name to be confirmed for this year's Casa Amor before the twist has even been confirmed on the ITV2 series Viewers think they already know which former Love Island star is set to enter the famous second villa, Casa Amor. During the series and just as the couples have usually formed strong bonds, the series airs a second villa twist with new arrivals. For a few days the original boys and girls are split up in separate villas, with a group of new boys and girls arriving to cause drama. The twist has often led to unexpected betrayals, shock exits and new couples. Ahead of the show confirming if it will air this year or not, fans think they already know someone who will enter as part of the shake-up. Sophie Lee was axed from the show on Tuesday night in a brutal dumping, after her partner Harry was stolen by Shakira. Sophie's exit left fans stunned with many gutted to see her go so early on. But some viewers are now convinced her time on the show isn't over. With a recent series seeing a dumped girl return to the villa for Casa Amor, viewers are now speculating Sophie will be back on the show in a matter of weeks, as a bombshell in the second villa. Taking to X, fans guessed the twist would happen with one fan writing: "I reckon Sophie will re-enter the villa as a bombshell by the end of next week at the latest or she will re-enter in Casa Amor." Another said: "Dw Sophie you'll be back in 4 weeks for Casa Amor." A third viewer begged: "Nah bring Sophie back for Casa Amor she deserves a chance." A fourth fan agreed: "Bring her back for casa amor!!" as a fifth viewer posted: "Gutted for her and bring back Sophie as a bombshell or Casa Amor." The comments kept on coming with one reading: "They better bring Sophie back as a Casa bombshell. Justice for Sophie." Another said: "BRING SOPHIE BACK FOR CASA AMOR!" It comes after Sophie was axed from the show in the latest episode. Despite not initially being at risk of an early exit, the motivational speaker and author was abruptly booted out of the villa after her man Harry was chosen by newly single Shakira. It was Shakira who had been told by host Maya Jama in the previous episode that she could be leaving within hours. Shakira had just 24 hours to woo another man, after her partner Ben was stolen by American bombshell Toni. Blu, Conor and Harry all chose to opt for Shakira, knowing full well she'd only be able to pick one of them. It wasn't an easy choice, more so because she knew, as clarified by Maya, that the girl left single would be going home instead of her. With the three boys standing, Shakira's fate was sealed. It was then Helena, Alima and Sophie who were at risk. It came down to Shakira choosing out of the three boys, with some encouragement from Maya. Maya urged the Islander to remember why she was here, no doubt trying to lessen her panic over sending a girl home but also so she would make the right choice. With that, Shakira named Harry as the man she wanted to steal. Sophie was immediately dumped from the villa as a result, as Maya confirmed she was now single and would be leaving the show.

In an interview with Metal Hammer, Sharon claims she had the unnamed group removed from the jam-packed supporting line-up for the gig which includes bands such as Metallica and Slayer. Sharon took aim at the unidentified music manager and told the publication: 'I had a huge, huge to-do with a manager over this celebration for Ozzy and Sabbath. "And it was probably the worst way I've felt in years. "I don't care what this person says about me, thinks about it, because he doesn't know me. "He's now going around making up bulls*** lies because I threw his band off the bill. "I don't care what people say. Because do you know what? I don't love them." Sharon then added: "I care about people who love me, what they say about me. "You can't care what an industry says, because you don't love them, so how can it hurt you? It doesn't.' Although Sharon did not names, some fans speculated that she could have been referring to rock band, Tool. Black Sabbath play 'Paranoid' before bowing out of music for good The band were originally lined up to play but soon disappeared from the official announcement. Despite this, it has been confirmed the band will still be playing at the event and as such casting doubt on such speculation. Elsewhere, Sharon spoke to the publication about the perception that people are often scared of her. The former The X Factor star said: 'Yeah, I think that a lot of people are [scared of me]. Because the thing is, I'll tell on you. "Things that you've done, things that I know about you, if you rattle my cage, I will tell. I don't give a s***. "You look at the billionaires in the world today, how dangerous they all are because they're all power hungry. "And I've never wanted that. "But if you f*** with me, I'll tell on you.' 4
