Love Island 2025 line-up confirmed in full as start date just days away
Love Island is just days away and this year's line-up has finally been confirmed, with fans in for a treat. A fresh set of singletons are set to descend on the iconic ITV2 villa on Monday 9 June for its twelfth season in the hopes of finding love.
Presenter Maya Jama is back on hand as host, and as always plenty of drama can be expected. This year, it looks like there will be plenty of fireworks as Maya has promised "more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more make-ups, and more twists".
It will be Maya's fourth season as Love Island host, having taken over from Laura Whitmore. She recently hit back at rumours about her departure, and reassured fans on Instagram that she is "not going anywhere" as she released the promo video for the new series.
She teased: "To the hottie this may concern, as per the last 11 series we're staying loyal to the entertainment and levelling up the twists.
"The stakeholders are aligned, the Islanders will be laying it on Factor 50, and we're on track to hit our KPI on drama. It's time to crack on and deliver serious results. Let's circle back soon. Warmest wishes."
Iain Stirling will also be joining her once again as the show's narrator. Based on previous seasons, the twelfth series is expected to run for eight weeks.
Viewers across the UK can tune in on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday June 9 and 9pm, while fans in Scotland can catch it on STV2 and the STV Player. This year marks a major milestone for the series, which is celebrating 10 years on air.
Fans don't have to wait any longer to find out who will be the first to waltz into the villa next week as the line-up has officially been released. They are...
Sophie, 29, from Manchester said she is looking for: "Someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive. At the moment I'm only finding ones draped in red flags and 'do not cross' signs."
The motivational speaker and author was asked if she could be the CEO of anything, what would it be. She replied: "I'm the CEO of empowerment. I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self."
Personal trainer Dejon, 26, hopes he is coupled up with: "Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy."
Love Island won't be Dejon's first taste of fame, thanks to his dad. He explained: "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."
Meg, a payroll specialist from Southampton has set her sights on who she wants to meet in the villa. She said: "I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile. He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with."
The 25-year-old has been brutally honest about her current love life as comapring it to a business she said she would be bankrupt. "But we're going to make sales and get on that corporate ladder and be booming. Profits, profits, profits!," she added.
