Exclusive: Love Island's Harriett Blackmore hints at huge twist as she spots major season 12 clue
A new season of Love Island is here and the twists have already begun.
On Sunday night (8th June), Toni Laites was revealed as the first bombshell for season 12.
In a show first, the 24-year-old will be flying in all the way from the US. She'll make her debut on Monday night's episode and will get to steal a boy right away.
But as is usual with Love Island, there's more to come, and former Islander Harriett Blackmore thinks she knows what's on the way.
Speaking exclusively to Cosmopolitan UK along with Catherine Agbaje, Harriett pointed out that in the promo imagery there are different clocks labelled Mallorca, Menorca and Marbella.
She thinks this could be part of a major twist, as the show celebrates its 10th anniversary.
"I think there's probably like a Casa [Amor] in Marbella," she said.
"Surely they're not going to fly them out to [Marbella]."
On the topic of twists, Catherine added: "Did you see this year that they're actually asking what the viewers want as twists? I feel like we're in for a lot of twists. Hopefully it's crazy twists. I want to see crazy twists."
"Yeah I want it to be chaos!" Harriett said.
Usually, the Casa Amor villa is located not too far from the main villa, with the Islanders being able to hear one another while playing games or during parties.
In season 10, Sammy Root and some of the other boys tried to zoom in on their phones to see if they could see what the girls were up to.
If Harriett is right, they won't be able to do any of that this year.
In a teaser clip for season 12, Maya Jama teased a "bigger" and "bolder" season with "more twists" and "more bombshells", so Harriett and Catherine might not be far off
Love Island starts on ITV2 on Monday 9th June at 9pm.

Love Island USA Fans Convinced Belle-A Is Coming Back After the Show Accidentally Leaked This Clue
With more than 35,000 fans signing a petition for her return, the chances of Belle-A coming back to Love Island USA may have gotten slightly better—especially after the show's cryptic Instagram post. Isabelle-Anne 'Belle-A' Walker, a 22-year-old from Honolulu, Hawaii, was one of the original islanders who entered the Love Island USA Season 7 villa on Day 1. She coupled up with Nicolas Nic Vansteenberghe but was stolen from him by new bombshell Cierra Ortega. During the first official recoupling, Nic, who was in a love triangle with both Cierra and Belle-A, chose to stay coupled up with Cierra, thus dumping Belle-A from Love Island USA. But is she really gone? More from StyleCaster Love Island USA's Cierra Is Best Friends With Not 1 But 2 Former Islanders The Truth About Love Island USA's Amaya's Laugh as Fans Compare Her to Janice From Friends Related: All the Love Island USA couples who are still together Love Island USA fans speculated Belle-A was coming back to the show after the official Love Island USA Instagram account shared a post of Belle-A's exit from the villa with the phrase: 'may be leaving.' 'Belle-A may be leaving the Villa, but she stayed true to herself through and through. Send some love for our beautiful Belledasha! 🫶 #LoveIslandUSA,' the official Love Island USA Instagram captioned a photo of Belle-A and her suitcase after her elimination. Fans also speculated Belle-A was coming back to Love Island USA because she hasn't returned to Instagram yet, at the time of writing. Belle-A was eliminated from Love Island USA Season 7 on Sunday, June 8. However, as of June 10, she still hadn't come back to her Instagram, with her friends and family still posting for her. 'Never her loss! Say it LOUDERRRRRRR!! Her heart really is the prettiest thing about her but that face card will never decline ❤️🔥 Our girl moved with class and grace from start to finish. Praying this isn't the last we see of Belle-A on our screens! What was your favorite Belledasha quote or moment so far? #TeamBelleA #LoveIslandUSA,' Belle-A's friends and family captioned a post on her Instagram account after her elimination. Belle-A's Instagram also shared a petition with more than 35,000 signatures calling for Love Island USA to bring her back. Love Island has brought back eliminated contestants before. As fans have noted, Love Island USA brought back Carsten 'Bergie' Bergersen after he was eliminated on Night 1. On Night 1, Bergie and his partner, Anna Kurdys, were voted as the least compatible couple by their islanders and had to choose between them who to leave the villa. Bergie volunteered to eliminate himself, but was brought back the next day with two new bombshells. He went on to couple up with bombshell Taylor Smith during Casa Amor, and the two are still together to this day. Taylor even called for Love Island USA to bring back Belle-A like how the show did with Bergie in a TikTok video after Belle-A's elimination. 'Bring back BelledashA Like they brought back Bergie!!' Taylor wrote over an Instagram video of her in bed with Bergie. She captioned the post, 'I wanna see more of my girl Bell-A please!! @Bergielicious35 @Peacock #loveislandusa #loveislandseason7.' Fans have also compared Bergie and Belle-A as having similar archetypes on Love Island USA, given that Bergie hadn't had a girlfriend before the series and Belle-A only being with one person. As for why Belle-A may not be coming back to Love Island USA, Bergie returned immediately the episode after has elimination. Given that Love Island USA has aired several episodes since Belle-A was dumped, her chances of returning are less and less. (Though Molly Marsh returned to Love Island UK Season 10 as a Casa Amor bombshell after she was dumped on Day 19, which fans are hoping will happen with Belle-A.) Belle-A has also done a post-show interview with former Love Island USA contestant Cely Vazquez, which means she's been exposed to the real world and could be leaving the show for good. Whatever happens to Belle-A, she sure made her impact on the villa and fans. Love Island USA streams on Peacock.

Who left Love Island 2025? First Islander dumped following brutal twist with Shakira Khan
The first Islander was dumped from the Love Island villa tonight (Tuesday, 10th June). It may only be day two of season 12, but after a brutal twist which saw Toni Laites steal Ben Holbrough from Shakira Khan, fans learned that one Islander would be going home the next day. Shakira was given the challenge of coupling up with one of the other boys, or having to go home. Maya returned to the villa 24 hours later to see if Shakira had done enough to keep herself safe and reveal which girl would be going home, as she asked the boys to stand up if they thought they had a stronger connection with Shakira over their original partner. So, who left the Love Island villa tonight? Read on for everything you need to know on the first dumped Islander. Sophie Lee was the first Islander to be dumped from the villa for season 12. After Monday night's twist which saw Toni stealing Ben from Shakira, and Shakira was given just 24 hours to couple up with someone else or go home, Maya returned to the villa to find out where everyone's head was at. She asked the boys to stand up if they thought they had a stronger connection with Shakira and Blu, Conor and Harry each stood up, putting their girls at risk. Shakira then had to decide who she wanted to couple up with. She chose Harry, which meant that his current partner, Sophie, would be going home. After being made single, Shakira cracked on with Dejon, which didn't sit well with Meg, and also got chatting to Conor, Harry, Blu and Tommy. "You surprised me, you came in with massive energy, but I feel like you're not like that, you're chill and smart," Harry told Shakira on the terrace. "I love the Irish accent, it's sexy! I've never dated an Irish guy," Shakira replied. During her conversation with Blu, she told him: "I think it's good cause it gives everyone a kick up the bum…I think you've got a good vibe…you're very calming and I don't have to put on a bravado." Meanwhile, she admitted to Tommy: "I think it's best I try to get to know everyone." Tommy's partner Megan got a little jealous and immediately broke up the conversation, with a plan to "lips" Tommy and "claim" her man. Love Island airs Weekdays and Sundays on ITV2 at 9pm.

Catherine visits behind the scenes at museum stores
The Princess of Wales has visited the Victoria and Albert Museum's storehouse in East London, seeing a project that wants to make the museum's huge collection available to a wider range of people. The museum, which has its main building in South Kensington, has more than 600,000 objects in newly-opened store rooms at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Catherine had a behind-the-scenes tour, where she praised how the public will be able to get a closer view of more of the museum's historic items. The V&A East Storehouse is a purpose-built arts storage centre, intended to widen access and "unlock" the collection of art, design and fashion items, much of which is not usually on display. "What a fantastic idea to have all these pieces to learn from - so they're not just behind the scenes and stored away somewhere. You can see them in person and up close," said Catherine. "What an opportunity for everyone to see historic pieces first hand," she said, praising the "eclectic" collection. Catherine was shown around the store's cavernous rooms by the museum's director Tristram Hunt and she saw examples of conservation work on textiles in the collection. Mr Hunt showed the princess some examples of textiles by the Victorian designer, William Morris, and she said how much she liked the foliage design. She spoke to the museum director about how some of the historic textiles on show could still look contemporary. The museum stores, free to visitors, has an "order an object" service which allows visitors to book an appointment to see an object close up and get information about it from museum staff. According to royal sources, the purpose of the visit was to highlight the importance of creative opportunity and to celebrate the "power of creativity".
