Love Island 2025: What time does ITV show start tonight and who won the 2024 series?
Love Island 2025 is set to return this summer and will be the 12th series of the hit ITV2 dating show so here's everything you need to know about the upcoming season
Summer has arrived heralding the start once more of the nation's intense fixation with Love Island.
This year, 2025, commemorates a decade since ITV breathed new life into Love Island, following its initial celebrity-centred series in 2005 and 2006.
Blossoming into an unforeseen global sensation, the show has been responsible for introducing a number of now-familiar faces to British households.
Notable contestants like Molly-Mae Hague, Tommy Fury, Chris Hughes, Maura Higgins, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, and Curtis Pritchard have all found significant success post-villa.
The premise remains as straightforward as ever: a collection of singles gather in a villa looking to pair up, fall in love, and potentially clinch the £50,000 cash prize, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Former ITV Love Island winners have a hilarious way of dealing with split rumours
READ MORE:
Last series saw Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan crowned winners by public vote, though they split in October, much to the dismay of fans.
"A lot of you have been wondering about Josh and I and why we haven't been making appearances.
"I know it's a big disappointment for a lot of you as it is for me too. Your support for us hasn't gone unnoticed and I will forever be grateful for it," expressed Mimi at the time.
The previous season wasn't without its drama – it saw the surprise arrival of The Only Way Is Essex star Joey Essex in the villa, leaving viewers and fellow islanders alike stunned.

The inclusion of a celebrity participant sparked debate over whether this gave him an unfair edge in the game, although he was sent packing just before the final showdown.
In a double-dose of romantic escapades this year, Love Island returns for its second stint following the All Stars edition that graced our screens in January.
After a whirlwind 36 days on the earlier show, former contestants Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen — who were familiar faces from series nine and three respectively — emerged as victors, though they have regrettably parted ways since their win.
Maya Jama is at the helm yet again this season, having stepped into Laura Whitmore's shoes as the host in 2023, after Whitmore's three-year tenure fronting the popular series.

An ITV representative confirmed: "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the 'Love Island' villa as planned."

Absolutely Everything We Know About British Actor Adam Long
The British actor Adam Long could have a new love interest according to new pictures that are doing the rounds on the internet. In photographs published by The Daily Mail, Adam Long can be seen on what appears to be a coffee date with fellow actor Aimee Lou Wood. In the pictures, they can be seen kissing and hugging outside a cafe in London while enjoying some drinks. You might recognise Long from his role in ITV's 2019 show The Bay, where he played the role of a construction worker called Vincent. But while Adam Long seems to keep a relatively low profile day to day, he's got a whole host of other huge shows under his belt - and plenty of exciting projects in the pipeline. Adam Long is a British actor, who is most well known for his role as Lewis Whippey in Happy Valley. He also starred in Dunkirk, Spike Island, Vera, Waterloo Road, The Thirteenth Tale, Act Of Grace and the award winning TV drama Don't Take My Baby. In 2019, he was in two movies called The Kill Team and The Corrupted. Adam was born on 25 April 1991, making him 34 years old. Neither Aimee or Adam have commented on their relationship status, but rumours are flying thanks to the recent pictures. Both Aimee and Adam star in the upcoming BBC romantic comedy-drama Film Club, which will air later in 2025, and online reports have noted that Aimee has liked all of Adam's social media posts since their casting was announced last November. Aimee also praised Adam after he completed a sponsored run in aid of Movember and men's mental health awareness. Under a picture he shared on Instagram, Aimee wrote 'YOU DID IT!!!!!!!' It's believed Adam met Aimee while working on the upcoming BBC series. Fittingly, the two of them play an on-screen couple in the show. Now, rumours that the pair are an item are ramping up off-screen too. A source who spotted her with Adam in South London told The Sun: 'They looked smitten with one another. They were hugging and kissing and she kept draping her arm around his neck while his hand was on her knee. They looked very comfy together — a vision of love's young dream.' Yes! You can keep up to date with all things Adam at @itsadamlong. Yes, Adam Long plays Evie's boyfriend Josh in Film Club. The BBC romantic-comedy drama, which is created by Aimee Lou Wood and Ralph Davies, will air later in 2025. Alongside Adam Long, the show stars Nabhaan Rizwaan and Doctor Foster's Suranne Jones, and filming for it wrapped earlier this year. A BBC synopsis for the show reads: 'It's Friday night. 7pm. Film Club Week 198. Evie hasn't left the house in six months after a 'wobble', and tonight, things are different.' It continues: 'Noa's got big news. A dream job is taking him across the other side of the country, which means that all of this is ending. That reality is hitting. That they're going to be forced to consider for the first time they might be more than just friends. Neither of them are the best when it comes to emotions but this time those emotions might be impossible to ignore...' The synopsis sums up Film Club by describing it as 'witty' and emotional,' show about 'love and family, about whether we should follow our hearts or heads, and being in love with a friend.'

Former Love Island contestant is East Kilbride's first summer signing as boss hails 'athletic and powerful' striker
Kilby have snapped up Ouzy See as they make moves to bolster their squad for a League Two title tilt East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy reckons 'athletic and powerful' ex-Love Island contestant Ouzy See will earn plenty of admirers at Casa K-Park this season after joining the Lowland League champions. Former Edinburgh City striker See is Kennedy's first signing of the SPFL era and the Love Island heartthrob - who featured in the 2023 edition of the hit ITV reality series - is bound to catch the eye as they embark on their first campaign in League Two after winning the Lowland League last term. The striker scored 31 goals in 99 appearances for the Citizens and Kilby will be hoping he can fire them to another promotion. Kennedy said: "If you look at his time at Edinburgh City, he was really successful and was the focal point of the team. Certainly in League One, League Two, he is one of the best striker around so I'm delighted to get him. "He fits the profile for us. He's athletic, powerful and he looks after himself. I have no doubt he will be a fantastic signing for us." On the Love Island appearance, Kennedy added: "Most of the boys are quite tight with Ouzy so I think he's already had a ribbing about Love Island. That was a couple of years ago now and I don't expect him to be doing anything like that again. "There was a bit of competition to get him, but I think he really bought into the project here and what we are trying to achieve." Kennedy is excited to see how See will link-up with strike partner Cami Elliott, who netted 41 goals for Kilby in their promotion-winning campaign. See hit eight goals for City in 28 appearances last term, but Kennedy insists that it is not just about goals for him. He addeed: "Ouzy will be a very good addition and a great foil for Cami Elliott as well. I think Cami will be here for the foreseeable future and the two of them can work well together. "If you look at Cami, his season before he came back to us wasn't very high in terms of goals but he really hit the levels last season. "Ouzy will score more than eight goals next season, I'm sure, but centre forwards are about more than just goals for us. It is about their abilty to occupy the centre-backs, their ability to run channels or bring other people into play. "Our goals are spread across the team so high number aren't a concern for me, it is more about how they fit into the structure. "In terms of ability and profile, Ouzy and Cami are very similar and I'm looking forward to seeing how they go." Kennedy also revealed he will soon be adding further fresh faces to the ranks. He added: "There will be three or four more signings announced this week and maybe another couple the following week. Things are getting tied up over the next couple of days with agents and then we'll be sorted." Meanwhile, Kennedy has hailed coach Blair Munn after he opted to leave Kilby to pursue a new opportunity after two years at K-Park. He said: "I always tell people that two of the most important decisions you will make in your life are the environments you place yourself in and the people you surround yourself with. One of the best decisions I have made in life was inviting Blair on to my coaching staff, we have shared so many great moments together, built memories that will last a lifetime. "Blair is someone I have grown to admire, respect and love. I will miss him dearly, but I'm grateful for having him in my life, our friendship goes far beyond football, I will miss him not being at my side on the training ground and in the dugout. "EK's loss will now become someone else gain, I'm sure he will go on and be a great success in his new role. We wish him nothing but good fortune and success. Take care my friend."
