Love Island 2025 confirmed lineup

Here are the contestants that have been announced for this year:

Sophie

A motivational speaker and author in Manchester, 29-year-old Sophie is “fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive.”

Dejon

Dejon is accustomed to the spotlight as the son of former professional footballer player Gifton Noel-Williams, who played for Watford, Stoke City and Burnley.

He is seeking “someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy.”

Meg

A payroll specialist from Southampton, Meg is hoping to cash in when she enters the Love Island villa.

The 25-year-old wants someone “tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile”, with “a good fashion sense” and “a really good, funny personality that I can get on with.” Not much then.

Ben

Ben is a 23-year-old private-hire taxi driver from Gloucester and stated if his love was a company, he'd have "been out of business a long time ago."

Helena

A cabin crew member from London, 29-year-old Helena has a type for Northerners.

“I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners,” she explains.

Tommy

Tommy, the landscape gardener from Hertfordshire, will be hoping to sculpt a romance this summer.

The 22-year-old described his ideal woman as “very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously.”

Alima

Glaswegian Alima is a wealth management client services executive and envisions finding a "Disney prince" on her Love Island escapade.

Kyle

A water operative from Stafford, Kyle described his flirting technique as pretty straightforward.

“I just go with it, find something to compliment a girl on and go from there," said the 23-year-old.

Megan

Hailing from Dublin but now living in Brighton, Megan considers herself to be a TikTok star after a video she made with a friend went viral.

Asked for her preference in men, the musical theatre performer and energy broker said: “I love a boy that’s a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don’t mind scrawny, or a bit of a ‘dad bod’. I’m 5ft1 so any height really.”

Blu

Blu, a construction project manager from London, will be hoping his Spanish-language skills can charm the villa senoritas.

The 26-year-old is looking for “someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive.”

Shakira

22-year-old Shakira is hoping her hips don't lie and the marketing professional from Burnley has big ambitions entering the villa.

“It’s a busy love life but I’ve not found ‘the husband’. I’m looking for ‘the one’. I’m looking for the ring," she said.

Harry

A semi-professional footballer, gold trader and model, 30-year-old Harry from Guildford may look familiar when he appears in the villa.

That's because he's a body double for England footballer Declan Rice.
