Three Londoners will be among the first group of people to enter the Love Island villa in 2025.
ITV has announced the new cast for the upcoming season of the reality dating show, which returns to our screens tonight (June 9).
Among them are three Londoners, including a cabin crew member, a personal trainer, and a construction project manager.
The Londoners will be hoping to find love and win the series, which will be hosted by Maya Jama.
One of those entering the villa is 26-year-old personal trainer Dejon.

He said: "The type of Islander I'd like to couple up with is someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy."
He also revealed his claim to fame, adding: "My dad being an ex-professional footballer.
"I've met all kinds of famous people through him.
"When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos.
"I've met David Beckham, he was really nice."
Next is cabin crew member Helena, aged 29.

She said: "The type of Islander I'd like to couple up with is somebody funny or Northern.
"I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners.
"If you look through my previous dating history, you'll see I clearly go for personality.
"You can pretty much laugh me into bed."
Finally, we have 26-year-old construction project manager Blu.

He said: "The type of Islander I'd like to couple up with is someone who is family-oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive.
"Personality goes a long way."
The new islanders will be entering the villa in the hopes of finding love and making it all the way to the final.
The show will be celebrating a decade since it first hit our screens in 2015.
It has been streamed more than two billion times and has become the most watched programme for 16-34 year olds on more than 400 occasions.

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.

YouTube Music has started sneaking in more ads for free users
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Some free YouTube Music users are starting to see new banner ads. These ads are appearing between the cover art and the Now Playing controls. YouTube Music Premium costs $10.99 per month, but you can also use the service for free. Using the platform for free, however, comes with the drawback of being exposed to ads. And it looks like these users could get an extra dose of ads in the near future Currently, those who use the free version of YouTube Music are exposed to ads after every couple of songs. These ads appear on the Now Playing screen, taking over the space where the cover art is usually shown. Accompanying these ads is a 'Sponsored' label, a counter for the number of ads, and a timer. When these ads play, the progress bar turns yellow and the Now Playing controls are greyed out. In an attempt to pack in even more advertising, it seems YouTube Music is testing a new banner ad. Some users are reporting that they now see a banner ad that appears between the cover art and the Now Playing controls. Included in these banner ads is the advertiser's image, a line of text, the Sponsored label, and a URL. Off to the right is a dropdown arrow and a 'Buy now' button. Unlike the other ads, these banner ads don't interrupt your listening experience or take over your controls. Although these are not as invasive as the ones you have to listen to, users likely aren't thrilled they're getting an extra helping of advertisements. Fortunately, it appears this change has yet to roll out to most users. It's unclear how widespread this test is. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

The Nintendo Switch 2 Should Get Its Most Important App Soon
Switch 2 The Nintendo Switch 2 is out and has sold millions of copies already. Its game roster is mostly reprised hits, with only a few truly new entries (Mario Kart World), but owners also want the handheld to be able to do more than just play games. As it stands, there is no YouTube app on the Nintendo Switch 2, mirroring the issue that the Switch 1 had for a long while. The original Switch was launched on March 3, 2017 and it did not get the much-requested YouTube app until November 8, 2018, over a year later. Nintendo and Google are apparently both trying to avoid that kind of lengthy wait this time around. The YouTube team app responded to a fan asking about the issue, and got a response: I'm not sure a list of other devices that play YouTube is helpful here. The timeline here is 'soon,' which I take to mean less than a year like we saw with the Switch 1. I am amazed that Nintendo has been making this console for probably half a decade and once again it launched without key dedicated video apps, YouTube included. I'm not clear on how they can get CDPR to tireless work on making Cyberpunk 2077 work well on the Switch but they can't figure out how to get YouTube or Hulu on the system for launch. It's bizarre. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Right now you can transfer the old YouTube Switch app to the Switch 2 but…it doesn't work, so that's not any sort of workaround. This is one of those things where I think we give Nintendo too much slack about, the fact that the console can launch with almost no actually new games and not even a ton of standard apps that it should have for day one. But hey, it's Nintendo and Nintendo always gets passes. Hopefully we hear more about this soon from a source other than what a help account bot, but I have to believe it's a priority on at least Google's side, if not Nintendo's. There's no way it can take as long as it did last time, right? Right? Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
