Meet The Rumoured Line Up For Love Island 2025
It's timeee! If I say 9pm everyday (apart from Saturdays!)… you say? LOVE ISLAND BABY! The time has come where we gather as a nation, 9pm sharp all singing from the same hymn sheet *hums to the Love Island theme tune*, let's go! Season 12 of Love Island is on the horizon and is starting any… MONDAY… now (we say Monday 9th June). We're all about to have a new set of hotties to follow on IG as the next Love Island cast enter the villa. Where is the villa this time? We don't know where in Spain exactly, but it's certainly won't be in the Isle of Wight as host Maya Jama revealed in ITV's latest teaser skit, which got us all pumped! Promising for more twists and more drama, this season marks the shows 10-year anniversary so we're expecting big things. Maya and her glam squad are ready after she posted on her IG story a total of six suitcases and three bags with the caption 'On holiday until I start Love Island'. Whilst Maya warms things up, who will be joining her in sunny Spain? Here's the latest on the first few rumoured contestants. Marking a first for the programme (if the rumours are true), Michelle Roscoe will be the first transgender contestant in the show's history. Currently working as a recruitment officer in Ibiza, Michelle can quite literally pop to the villa. So, let's not waste any time. Word on the street is that the ITV big bosses are working on it, so watch this space, we'll let you know as soon as we do. Can Ella Rae Wise go from one reality show to another… to another. Of course she can! Quick get her in before she has time to unpack her suitcase. Now we know ITV isn't shy of chucking a TOWIE star in the mix after the riveting arrival of Joey Essex in season 11. So if the rumours that Ella Rae Wise, semi-fresh from the CBB house may be on her way to sunny Mallorca as we speak, we'll take it. But what we don't want is Chris Hughes doing a sudden a 180 and appearance too – or maybe we do? You may or may not remember him, but Kodie Murphy was on season 11 of Love Island in 2023. Briefly coupled up with Amber Wise, the 22 year old may be back for another ride this year. This comes after he teased via TikTok that Love Island have been on the phone. And you know what - we hope they have. It wouldn't be a rumoured LI lineup without a cheeky celeb relation would it? Whispers are floating around saying that the eldest of Tanya and Phil Bardsley's children, Gabriella, will be the nepo baby of the villa this year. As the daughter of a Housewife of Chesire and a footballer, Gabriella will be no stranger to the spotlight having also already being part of her families reality show, The Bardsley Bunch . She's also a business woman, running Dream Skin where she offers skin treatments in Manchester. Practically a star already, let's get her in. Oh we're treating you now… we've got bombshell goss. Season 12's very first bombshell is rumoured to be Liverpudlian makeup artist, Lucy Quinn. A source told the MailOnline that Lucy is 'single and ready to mingle' and 'can't wait to enter the Love Island villa'… need we say anymore. See you on the telly Luce! According to The Sun, 6'5 London-based personal trainer, Aaron Buckett is a definite cast member landing in the Love Island villa this year. Take a look at his Instagram, and the flurry of topless pictures are making us want to believe it too - phwoar. It seems the fire pit won't be the only thing making things hot this season. Afia Kufuor has worked for Bauer Media since January 2025. She writes for Grazia, heat, Closer, Bella and Yours.

Horrific condition filled me with rage…I was worried Phil was going to leave – now I have 4-hour op, says Tanya Bardsley
Tanya has been suffering for years because experts failed to correctly diagnose her BARD TO WORSE Horrific condition filled me with rage…I was worried Phil was going to leave – now I have 4-hour op, says Tanya Bardsley THEIR high-profile marriage may have got them a hit fly-on-the-wall series, but Tanya Bardsley admits there are some days when she 'can't bear' her husband Phil. The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star is suffering from a condition that has left her in crippling agony and plunged her into such a hormonal 'nightmare' that it is putting pressure on her 11-year marriage to the former Sunderland footballer. 4 Tanya Bardsley says the agony caused by the condition affecting her uterus sends her into a rage Credit: Supplied 4 Tanya admits there are some days when she 'can't bear' her husband Phil Credit: Getty 4 Tanya and husband Phil with children, from left, Rocco, Renz, Ralphi and Gabriella Credit: Instagram/thebardsleybunch Tanya says: 'There are times when I feel like I can't bear him — if he breathes too loud, for example — and poor Phil, he's probably not even done anything, he's just been himself. 'He deserves a medal — but he hasn't left me, that's the main thing. 'That shows what kind of man he is because some days I just don't even want to hang around with myself. 'It's like something has taken over your body and you can't control it. I am like an ogre stomping around. 'The rage just comes up inside of me and takes over. I'm horrible to be around, but obviously my oestrogen is low and the ogre is out. 'You go from fear of losing your partner and your family to this rage where you just don't give a s**t about anything or anyone. It's horrible.' Tanya is the longest-serving cast member of the Housewives and now appears in reality show The Bardsley Bunch on ITVBe and ITVX with Phil and their four kids. But for years she has also been suffering from a crippling condition called adenomyosis, where tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus leading to pain and heavy bleeding that can significantly affect daily life. 'I've been doubled up on all fours on the floor' It is often linked to hormonal imbalances, and in particular, elevated levels of oestrogen. Horror as Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley reveals masked men attempted to raid mansion while family were home_1 Today 44-year-old Tanya reveals that she is about to have a hysterectomy, and is terrified. She says: 'I have fibroids in my womb too. They are benign growths but can reach the size of a melon. 'I am often in so much pain that I feel like I'm giving birth. It is excruciating — it's been horrific recently.' Tanya has been suffering for years because experts failed to correctly diagnose her. She says: 'I started getting really bad pain but my previous gynae- cologist didn't know what was wrong with me. I eventually booked in to see a specialist who diagnosed adenomyosis and fibroids. 4 Tanya appears in reality show The Bardsley Bunch on ITVBe and ITVX with Phil and their four kids 'Getting that diagnosis was such a relief because it made me realise I wasn't going mad, that something was really wrong. 'The pain is unbearable at times. It's like childbirth but it doesn't come in waves like contractions — it is constant. 'I've been doubled over on all fours on the floor having to pant through it, just crying my eyes out and sometimes telling Phil that I think he's going to have to take me to A&E. 'It's so intense and then eases off a bit but then comes back. It's really traumatic for Phil to see me in so much pain. 'It affects everything in your life — your social life, your work life. Some days I literally cannot get out of bed.' The hysterectomy will take four hours followed by weeks of recovery. Tanya says: 'Losing my womb is just an awful thought. That's where my babies were — it's what womanhood is about. I think because I've been through so many dark times and I have tried to take my own life in the past, I know that whatever pain I'm going through, it's not the end Tanya Bardsley 'I'm really scared I'll feel less of a woman without it, but I know this is my only option. 'The recovery time is about six weeks, so I am getting it done in the summer after Phil's 40th birthday celebrations.' Tanya first found fame as a model. She was one of FHM's High Street Honeys in 2002 and was included in the lads' mag's 100 Sexiest Women. In 2014 she married Phil and they went on to have children Gabriella, 23, Rocco, 16, Renz, 12, and eight-year-old Ralphi. She joined up for the first series of The Real Housewives Of Cheshire in 2015 with Ampika Pickston, Dawn Ward, Lauren Simon, Leanne Brown and Magali Gorre. Now Tanya and Phil, who is assistant manager of Macclesfield, live in luxury in a £2million Cheshire home. But just a few days ago masked intruders tried to break in while the family slept before they were scared off by the property's security system. It is the latest harrowing ordeal for Tanya, who entered perimenopause when she was just 38 and has been suffering ever since. At 39 she was diagnosed with ADHD after years of struggling with anxiety and suicidal thoughts. She tells The Sun on Sunday: 'Because of the pain and hormones, my mental health is awful right now. 'You just feel like you've got a big black cloud in your head. 'But I think because I've been through so many dark times and I have tried to take my own life in the past, I know that whatever pain I'm going through, it's not the end. 'Imagine guys going through perimenopause' 'I think that's why I don't worry about myself going into a dark place any more. I can just wait it out.' Following her diagnosis, Tanya — supported by Phil — had some agonising discussions with experts before finally deciding that she should have a hysterectomy. She explained: 'My doctor says the cure for me to get rid of the pain is a hysterectomy. 'My mum actually had one when she was 37. She told me her womb was riddled with fibroids, but she probably had adenomyosis as well but it just wasn't diagnosed. 'She was in the same kind of pain I am. 'Phil and I have completed our family — he has had the snip. So we decided together this is the next step for me. But I'm really scared about it. 'There's no option that doesn't bring its own risks. 'Sometimes I'm thinking, 'Well, this is just pain. What if I end up with blood clots or an infection or something else if I get an operation?' 'I've had so many things wrong with me over the years that now I'm scared of creating something else.' Tanya openly admits she is no stranger to going under the knife. She has had several cosmetic surgeries ranging from a face lift, two boob jobs, liposuction and a brow lift. But it has not always been straightforward. What is a hysterectomy? A hysterectomy is an operation to remove the womb, which marks the end of a woman's reproductive period. After having the surgery, you will no longer be able to get pregnant - and your periods will stop. There were around 30,500 hysterectomies carried out in England in 2012 and 2013, mostly for women in their 40s. Hysterectomies are carried out to treat conditions that affect the female reproductive system. These include heavy periods, long-term pelvic pain or non-cancerous tumours. In some cases, women have hysterectomies to treat ovarian, uterine, fallopian tube or cervical cancer. There are different types of operations - depending on whether the woman has her whole womb, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tube and/or cervix removed. In a radical hysterectomy - the lymph glands, fatty tissue and part of the vagina are also removed. She ended up with a blood clot in her breast due to her second boob job after Ralph was born. Tanya said: 'I've learned that with cosmetic surgery you can fix one problem and cause another, so knowing you're about to have more surgery is a scary place to be.' To help other women, she is going to document the operation and her recovery for The Bardlsey Bunch, which gives viewers a warts-and-all look at her home life with Phil. She says: 'I have had so many messages from women over the years who have taken comfort in me speaking out about perimenopause, so I think it's important to show this side of what's going on with me. 'It might help other women to not feel so alone. 'With perimenopause I thought I was going crazy. 'I just wasn't being listened to. I was even given antidepressants. I felt like no one was taking me seriously and then you're just left feeling like everyone hates you. 'So many women said they experienced the same thing. 'I swear if a man had to go through what we did, there would be serious changes that happen quickly. 'Imagine these guys going through perimenopause. 'Every top scientist, every doctor around the world, all the government's money would be on it. 'I once called an ambulance for Phil because we thought something was seriously wrong with him — it turned out to be bad trapped wind. 'I will never let him forget that, ever!'

Real Housewives' Tanya Bardsley lays bare struggles and says 'not for fainthearted'
Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley has revealed her footy-mad kids' hobbies are like a 'full-time job' for her, as her sons follow in their footballer dad's footsteps Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley has compared her kids' hobbies to a "full time job", as she admits having three sons is "not for the faint hearted". The 44-year-old still looked as glam as ever as she ferried her children around to their football runs, posing for photos as she watched her lads play football. Sharing a series of snaps on Saturday morning, Bardo looked stunning in navy leggings, a loose-fitting top and her "snuggly" Dryrobe coat. The reality star had her hair slicked back in a chic pony, finishing off her look with pared back make up and statement sunnies. Looking every bit the soccer mom, Tanya shared photos of her youngest Ralphi, who is already following in the footsteps of his footballer dad Phil Bardsley. She wrote: "The savage game of juggling football runs when you have 3 sons who play is not for the faint hearted and it's a full time job! Today I watched my little ralphi foodies game and he scored two goals." Tanya added: "I'm just happy didn't have to listen to the trumpet. I need to give love to the @asanteapparelofficial dry robe coat it's the snuggly softest coat ever, perfect for dice of pitched and on the English beaches this summer too. My sunglasses and leggings and t shirt are all from @asanteapparelofficial too." The down-to-earth mum-of-four added the hashtags #greasyhair #dontcare to her post. Tanya has been married to Phil, 39, since 2014, and they live with their four children. Gabriella, 23, is Tanya's daughter from a previous relationship, while Phil and Tanya have three boys together, Rocco, 15, Renz, 12, and Ralphi, five. The couple got married in 2014, in a lavish ceremony at Cheshire's Peckforton Castle. With former footballer and Macclesfield assistant manager Phil as their dad, it's no surprise the lads are footy mad. And the family's new reality show The Bardsley Bunch looks at how the family live out their life in their glamorous six-bedroom home in the heart of Cheshire. The family's incredible gaff even has a glass floor which looks down into a cinema and bar in the basement. Instead of a scripted reality show, The Bardsley Bunch is more of a fly-on-the-wall documentary style. The production team installed GoPro cameras throughout their home, with small mics on photo frames and in plant pots. With the ITVBe show first airing on April 16th, fans compared the family to the Kardashians, a similarity that is lost on Tanya. Speaking to OK! magazine recently, the former glamour model laughed: "We're more like the Clampetts who won the lottery. "We're just a really normal family who's... a bit crazy! We get dressed up now and again but the rest of the time we're a very regular family who live in a messy, chaotic house where everyone argues and everyone makes up." Apart from a few planned scenes to give context or show a reaction, Tanya insists the rest is "just us living our lives". She added: mI'm hoping seeing Ralphi dressed in a Grinch outfit and smashing balls off a mirror makes other people feel really happy about their own lives."

The ex-wife of TV star Paddy is at loggerheads with her former bestie... TOXIC PALS Inside bitter Real Housewives of Cheshire feud – as Christine McGuinness is 'betrayed' by co-star bestie IT'S long been one of the more desirable parts of the country for the rich and famous - with its stunning mansions, pricey boutiques and fine dining. But we can reveal Cheshire has become a toxic playground for its reality TV housewives and a new bitter betrayal is set to stir things up, with Christine McGuinness at the centre of it all. 13 Tanya Bardsley and Christine McGuinness are the latest stars to fall out Credit: Splash News 13 Christine is said to be upset about how her friendship with Tanya has gone Credit: Rex 13 Christine and Tanya were incredibly close on the show The ex-wife of TV star Paddy, who enjoyed a brief stint on the reality show between 2018-2020, is at loggerheads with her former bestie Tanya Bardsley and the pair are no longer speaking. Insiders tell us the pair had a devastating falling out last year - and things have turned so ugly that friends say 'there is no way back'. A source told us: 'Christine was always really supportive of Tanya through her mental health struggles but she feels like Tanya ditched her and wasn't there for her when she has been going through her own stuff.' During their time on Real Housewives, Christine was seen helping Tanya navigate a difficult period, which sources say has made the betrayal even more heart-wrenching for the star. She told Manchester Evening News at the time: 'I understand mental illness quite a lot. 'I have been there myself with anxiety and depression. I know how it feels - certainly after I had children. 'She was having a difficult time and she tried to come off the meds and that didn't do her any good. 'Seeing Tanya in that way really touched me. I would never want anyone to feel like she felt.' But fast forward two years and that close bond has been completely shattered. Trailer for the Real Housewives of Cheshire The insider added: 'The last straw was when Tanya poached her best mate Catherine to work for her.' Following Christine's split from Paddy McGuinness, she grew very close to Catherine Farrell. The pair even launched a clothing business together - We are HER - which no longer appears to be trading. But now Catherine is very close to Tanya and has appeared on her new reality show, as well as going into business with her. The pair have created Haus of CEO - a studio to create content and podcasts.

"I'm lucky now to have a handful of people to call my friend. "Thank you Cath for being there recently, more than ever I needed you and you showed up every time. Here's to many more meltdowns! "More play dates with our babies and hopefully some holidays." She followed up the post by adding: "I appreciate you." Christine has now erased all traces of Catherine from her life after being left heartbroken by what she believes is shocking deception. The fall out is set to cause huge ructions within the community, which on the surface appears close knit. Friends have said how relieved they are this hasn't all played out on screen because they think it would have caused friction beyond repair. There have been huge busts up between Lauren Simon and Paige Chohan, Hanna Kinsella and Ester Dee, as well as Missé Beqiri and Ampika Pickston to name a few. An insider from the area told us: 'These rows might have been on screen but they are all very real and it's not uncommon for people to bicker in the area. 'These are some of the most successful people in the country all living in the same place - it's really no surprise that tensions and rivalries run high.'
