Antonia Laites, or Toni as she will be known on Love Island 2025, hails from Connecticut, USA. She currently lives and works in Las Vegas as a pool cabana server at the exclusive Fontainebleau Resort. A source told The Sun: 'Being Love Island's first bombshell of the series is a big deal and is always reserved for the sexiest cast members. 'In the past it's been the likes of Davide, Uma and even Ekin-Su on All Stars. 'Toni landed as part of a huge first day and everyone is very excited.' Just hours after the The Sun revealed the bombshell's identity, ITV confirmed the news. Agonising pain Ahead of entering the villa, Toni shared that she is battling an illness that leaves her in agonising pain. She said: "I have ulcerative colitis. I had to go to hospital the same week as my senior prom. "They told me, 'You can't go' and then they said, 'Surprise, you're going to prom!' "Nothing that exciting happens in Connecticut, so it was a big deal and a few articles were written about me." Maya Jama demands 'more drama and twists than ever' in new Love Island series trailer She added: "What I hope people see from me being on Love Island is that not all illnesses are visible. "It doesn't have to hold you back, you can travel etc… I live my life day-to-day like anyone else." In an interview with ITV, Toni said she is looking for "someone that can make me laugh". She added: "I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together." I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners Antonia Laites When asked why she wants to date a British guy, Toni replied: "I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! "I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. "British men are just more polite, with better manners." When is Antonia Laites Joining Love Island 2025? Toni is one of the contestants on the show's 12th season, which premiers at 9pm on Monday, June 9, 2025. Rather than being one of the initial batch of Islanders who enter the villa at the very start of the series, Toni will join the cast as the Love Island 2025's first bombshell. 4 When she was 17, doctors looked after Toni to make sure she got to prom Credit: Instagram/@connecticutchildrens But she won't have to wait long — she will strut into the villa on the very first day to shake up the action from the off. In the trailer for this year's series, host Maya Jama said she wants the show to be packed with more 'twists and turns' . She said: "This year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder, I want ideas. "This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more makeups. "I want more twists, I want more twists than ever." Teasing bombshell Toni's arrival in a video shared on social media, Maya played a voice note she received on her phone out loud. "Hey Maya, I heard you want more twists," Toni was heard saying. "How about an American bombshell?" she continued. "Get ready, I'm on my way!"

Royal Mint most valuable 50p coins as 10 rarest 50p revealed
We are all being urged to check our change for these valuable coins which, in some cases, are being sold for more than 400 times their face value on online auction sites such as eBay. The famous Kew Gardens 50p was recently knocked off the top spot of rarest 50p coins in the UK when the Royal Mint released the Atlantic Salmon coin. This coin was released with a mintage of just 200,000, the Royal Mint said, narrowly beating the Kew Gardens 50p which had a mintage of 210,000. Other rare designs include Olympic-themed 50ps minted in 2011. Since moving to pounds and pence in 1971, more than 70 variations of the 50p coin have been minted, including several rare designs which could be worth a lot more than 50p. Rarest 50p coins in circulation the UK? The Royal Mint recently named the Atlantic Salmon 50p as the coin as the rarest currently in circulation in the UK, with just 200,000 copies minted. The coin knocked the 'highly collectable' 2009 Kew Gardens 50p off the top spot for the first time in 15 years, the official maker of British coins said. The Kew Gardens 50p sells for £156.25 on average, but one seller received over £700 for one when they sold it on eBay. The other rarest coins stem predominantly from the 2011 Olympics, with the wrestling, football and judo coins among the most valuable. Only 1.1million of each of these coins were produced. Flopsy bunny and Peter Rabbit designs which were produced in 2018 are also highly valuable. Recommend Reading These coins - 1.4 million of which were minted - depict the characters from Beatrix Potter's novels and celebrate the life of the English writer and these sell for around £5. In 2019, 500 million coins were produced, with three new 50p designs. These included one of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, Paddington Bear at St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. What makes a coin valuable? The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, with many collectable designs appearing on its heptagonal canvas. Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history. The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors. Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design. The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin's value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on eBay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer. Top 10 most valuable 50p coins, according to Royal Mint Here is a list of the top 10 most valuable coins, when they were made and how many were minted:
