What happened on Love Island 2025 last night?
Episode 22 - Thursday, July 3
Reflecting on Alima and Ryan’s shock departures from the Villa, Dejon and Harry had a heart-to-heart by the Mini Firepit, and after coming to the realisation that he’s not ready for it to be over for him and Toni, Harrison wanted to see if the door is still open for the pair following their conversation the previous day when she called it quits.
Episode 21 - Wednesday, July 2
Billykiss and Ryan had their first official night in the Love Island Villa and both Bombshells eager to make their mark. In the garden, drama unfolded as Harrison came clean to Toni about his secret Terrace kiss, and Tommy got a text which led to a twist that no one saw coming, and would see two people leaving the villa.
Episode 20 - Tuesday, July 1
With emotions still high and revelations aplenty from the evening’s saucy heart rate challenge, Shakira quizzed Harry on his heart rate results, two unexpected Islanders locked lips in a steamy kiss that no one saw coming, and Shakira and Toni went on dates with two new male Bombshells.
Episode 19 - Monday, June 30
Harry was on thin ice as Shakira gave him a warning, a recoupling saw the boys call the shots, and the heart rate challenge saw Helenda cause a stir.
Episode 18 - Sunday, June 29
Islanders said their goodbyes to Megan and Remell, Toni wasn't feeling the triangle with Harrison and Helena, while Harry made a shocking move during a game of Snog, Marry, Pie.
Episode 17 - Friday, June 27
On Friday night's episode, the Love Island cast learned that the public had been voting for their favourite boy and girl and the two Islanders with the fewest votes would be dumped. It was revealed that Remell, Ben and Harry had received the fewest votes for the boys, while Shakira, Toni and Megan were in the bottom three, and therefore at risk of being dumped from the villa. In the end, it was Remell and Megan who went home.
Episode 16 - Thursday, June 26
Helena, Giorgio, Emily, Dejon and Remell returned from The Sleepover Villa to much anticipation. After returning to the Villa, Emily wanted to clear the air with Conor, so they headed to the Snug for a chat where he told her about his kiss with Megan on the Terrace.
Episode 15 - Wednesday, June 25
Things got steamy during a game of truth or dare with the new bombshells, and Megan revealed all about her kiss with Conor - leaving things with Tommy hanging in the balance.
Episode 14 - Tuesday, June 24
The sleepover welcomed four new bombshells and their chosen Islanders, tensions rose when Harry caused more drama for Megan and Tommy, and a shock text left the Islanders stunned when they got an unwelcome update from the sleepover.
Episode 13 - Monday, June 23
The girls gave their recoupling speeches with some decisions easier to make than others. Some Islander’s were left secure in their pairings whilst others are set to explore new connections to see if there’s a spark. Also, four new bombshells were revealed.
Episode 12 - Sunday, June 22
Still reeling from Emily and Toni’s argument, Shakira took Emily to the Minifirepit and explained her side of things, Dejon checked in with Conor, after he surprised the Islanders by pulling Megan for a chat, whilst coupled up with Emily. Also, it was time for a game of Spin the Bottle and whoever the bottle landed on had to take a card, which would read either truth or dare.
Episode 11 - Friday, June 20
Still reeling from the revelations from the Look Who’s Talking game, Helena told the girls where she’s at with Harry. Meanwhile, Harry was open to chatting to Shakira again, but the conversation didn't go to plan, and Conor opened up to Dejon about how he’s finding some aspects of Villa life.
Episode 10 - Thursday, June 19
The fallout from the eBay pre-loved party continued when, despite being coupled up with Shea, Yasmin kissed two other boys in the game. Elsewhere, Shakira was unsure about the future with Ben as Yasmin and Harry snuck off to the hideaway terrace, and the Islanders clashed when their comments were exposed in a new game.
Episode 9 - Wednesday, June 18
As the Islanders awaited news of which girl new bombshell Harrison will be bringing back from his dates, Helena, Meg and Megan came up with a plan of their own, after the boys recent Challenge antics. And later, the Islanders got a text which revealed they were being treated to an eBay pre-loved party and a game of beer pong dares. If an Islander got the ball into someone's cup, that person had to do the dare written on the bottom of the cup. As a result, Conor was tasked with kissing the Islanders that would make up his dream threesome, and he chose Emily and Megan. While Shea was asked to shake the hand of the Islander who is playing the biggest game, he chose Yasmin, whom he is currently coupled up with.
Episode 8 - Tuesday, June 17
Toni took matters into her own hands while Alima and Remell clashed over a challenge. It was decision time for Dejon, with both Meg and Malisha wanting to know where they stood. There was also a recoupling and it is the boys turn to pick.
Episode 7 - Monday, June 16
Things got heated again between Meg and Malisha in the garden and Alima comforted Malisha in the dressing room. After hearing her side, Alima had some thoughts on the situation, heading out to the kitchen to tell Meg and the group: “I’m not gonna lie, that wasn’t nice to see both of you, all the shouting…let’s be nice to people.”
Episode 6 - Sunday, June 15
First, it was time for the boys to face the music and there was trouble from Meg and Helena, while the fall out continued as Conor got to know Emily. Meanwhile, Dejon was unsure about his next move as Meg and Malisha clashed.
Episode 5 - Friday, June 13
After the news that Blu and Shea had to decide between themselves who stays and who goes, the two Islanders did everything they can to state their cases. They talked openly about their unexplored connections with the girls, some that surprise the other Islanders, and it’s clear neither of them are walking away easily. In the end it was Blu who was dumped from the island.
Episode 4 - Thursday, June 12
Things were heating up in the villa as the Islanders grilled Blu and Shakira after they returned from the Hideaway. Blu wasted no time in filling them in on the fact that they shared a kiss, while everyone also had questions after Harry and Helena after their not-so-secret trip to the Hideaway.
Episode 3 - Wednesday, June 11
Bombshells Shea Mannings and Remell Mullins arrived and both got to pick first in the villa reshuffle. Alima snogged the Islander she would couple up with if there was a recoupling and she went for Remell. While Ben was dared to snog the Islander he fancies the most and he kissed Shakira as Harry watched on. Elsewhere, Shea had to seductively suck the finger of the Islander he’d use handcuffs with and Conor had to kiss every Islander of the opposite sex, with the girls later commenting on his good kissing skills.
Episode 2 - Tuesday, June 10
After Shakira found herself single when bombshell Toni stole Ben from her, she was then able to pick from Blu, Conor and Harry when they all stood up after Maya gave them the chance to couple up with her. While their partners watched on, horrified, Shakira eventually picked Harry, leaving Sophie to be the first islander to be dumped from the villa. After Sophie left the villa, Maya revealed two new bombshells would be entering the villa, Bristol footballer Shea Mannings and fitness influencer Remell Mullins.
Episode 1 - Monday, June 9
The first episode saw a fresh twist in the usual show format with Maya challenging the girls to match up with one of this year's boys based only on their dating profile, and not their looks. Before even seeing Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu or Tommy, the girls had to decide who they’d like to couple up with based on key stats like the boys’ name, age and job. We also welcomed the first Bombshell of the series, Toni, who is a Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server from the US. Toni caused drama when she swooped in and stole Ben, which means Shakira now has 24 hours to connect with one of the other boys in the hope they choose her at the next coupling - or else she'll be dumped.
Love Island 2025 cast - who has been dumped and who is still in the show?
We now finally have our official lineup of Islanders heading into the villa this year.
Let's meet them...
Meg
Age: 25
Job: Payroll specialist
Lives: Southampton
Meg already knows what she is looking for in her new man... "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."
Dejon
Age: 26
Job: Personal trainer
Lives: London
Dejon has a surprising claim to fame: "My dad is 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."
Sophie - dumped
Age: 29
Job: Motivational Speaker and Author
Lives: Manchester
Sophie is looking for laughter as well as love... "I would like 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."
Sadly, Sophie was the first person to be dumped from the island when Harry stood up for Shakira and they coupled up, leaving her single and brutally dumped. Speaking of becoming the victim of the first twist of the series, Sophie said: "It’s Love Island - even the people that think they’re safe, aren’t! If you’ve not mixed and mingled, or you’ve mixed and mingled too much… all of a sudden, you might not have a strong connection and you could leave. As long as Harry is happy. I know for me, what I make of my life is down to me. I don’t regret anything I’ve done. I did everything that I wanted to do. And summer’s not over!”
Tommy
Age: 22
Job: Landscape Gardener
Lives: Hertfordshire
Tommy already knows what he is looking for in his future romance: "A girl who is very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I don’t know if that’s asking for too much, but I want a bit of everything. I haven’t got a specific type in terms of looks, though."
Alima - dumped
Age: 23
Job: Wealth Management Client Services Executive
Lives: Glasgow
Alima has an impressive flirting technique: "I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea-Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway."
Speaking of her exit, Alima said: "It’s a mix of emotions, I’ve been there since the start so it’s bittersweet but at the same time I just can’t wait to wear no make up for days and weeks now!"
Ben
Age: 23
Job: Private Hire Taxi driver
Lives: Gloucester
Ben is all about the smile: "I'm looking for someone sexy, good looking, good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact - they’re all the traits I look for. Oh, and also a cute smile, I just look at you and know I can be around you all day, every day."
Helena
Age: 29
Job: Cabin Crew
Lives: London
Helena is after someone to make her laugh: "I want 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."
Megan - dumped
Age: 24
Job: Musical theatre performer and energy broker
Lives: Brighton, from Dublin
Megan has a fun claim to fame: "Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I’ve also done Panto."
Speaking of being dumped, Megan said: "I’m gutted to have left because I was getting to a really good place with Conor and I’d tied up loose ends with Tommy and Emily. I would’ve liked to have left on better terms with Tommy. We were getting there, but that comes with time and I didn’t have time on my side. I made best friends there and had an absolute ball."
Conor
Age: 25
Job: Professional rugby player
Lives: Limerick
Conor already knows what he's NOT looking for in his new romance: "I don't like anyone being too needy, or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing."
Blu - dumped
Age: 26
Job: Construction Project Manager
Lives: London
Blu is looking for someone he can take home to his family: "I want someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way."
Blu left in the second week, after coming up against new bombshell Shea and having to decide who stayed and who left. Speaking of the decision, Blu said: "In the heat of the moment, it’s quite difficult. I had a few reasons for why I thought I should stay. But at the end of it, we had to get our fellow Islanders to make the decision. They all had good points and some of them had really nice things to say, which made me feel better."
Shakira
Age: 22
Job: Marketing
Lives: Burnley
Shakira says she isn't short of a date, but she would like a proper romance: "I have a busy love life but I’ve not found ‘the husband’. I’m looking for ‘the one’. I’m looking for the ring."
Harry
Age: 30
Job: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model
Lives: Guildford
Harry has a surprising job: "I’m the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You’ll never see my face, but you’ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing."
Love Island 2025 Bombshells
Toni
Age: 24
Job: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server
From: Connecticut
Toni is the first Bombshell for the 2025 season and is from the US. Speaking of dating in America, she says: "I live in cities that are fast-paced and party places: Las Vegas and Florida. People are here for a good time, not a long time. I live in Sin City! I do love Las Vegas. I’ve met some of the greatest people I’ve ever met there. I’m willing to relocate, but it would just break my heart to not have my job anymore."
She's also admitted why she wants to date a British guy: "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."
Shea - dumped
Age: 25
Job: Scaffolder
Lives: Bristol
Shea isn't just looking for someone to fall for him, he also has a little boy, which means whoever he dates needs to also be good with kids! "She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together. Also, I have a little boy, so I’ll be considering him with who I couple up with, too."
Speaking of how he felt when the text came through that Helena had picked Giorgio at the sleepover, Shea said: "Obviously, you never know, but as soon as I found out I was single, I kind of knew my time was up. I was just gutted."
"I had an amazing time and met some amazing people, friends for life for sure. It didn’t go right in the relationship department and I didn’t find that connection, but I’m happy and grateful that I had a chance to be part of it and I can’t wait to see everyone on the outside."
Remell - dumped
Age: 24
Job: Self-Improvement Content Creator
From: Essex
Remell is looking for someone with ambition... and nice teeth! "I'm looking for a bubbly, confident, ambitious, and fun girl. One feature that stands out to me is a nice smile, nice teeth and someone that can keep me on my toes. She also needs ambition and goals. If I can’t talk to a woman and pick her brain, have some discussion, that’s a huge turn off for me as where are we going to be going?"
Speaking of being dumped he said: "Despite me having what seemed to be a good connection with Poppy, my heart was telling me that I had to see it through with Alima. The dynamic with Poppy was more what I’m used to on the outside. But building up slowly with Alima made me realise that that’s important."
Emily
Age: 24
From: Aberdare
Job: Insurance Development Executive
Emily already knows what sort of man she is looking for: "I want someone with emotional intelligence for one. Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps! I don't want bad manners, being rude, not saying please and thank you. I’d rather someone be overly polite than not say it at all."
Yasmin
Age: 24
Job: Commercial Banking Executive
Lives: London
Yasmin has her sights set on someone who likes the gym... "I’m looking for a guy who is fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter. I don't want a guy that’s stingy."
Malisha - dumped
Age: 24
From: Broxbourne
Job: Teaching Assistant
Malisha is looking for someone tall... "He has to be very tall. I’m 5ft7/ 5ft8. I want to be able to wear heels and feel feminine. He has to be funny, but not too funny; I have to be the funniest. I want someone who’s caring and a bit loving, but then I like someone who can give me a bit of rude banter. I like to be a bit cheeky."
Malisha's time in the villa came to an early end when she was dumped in the second week. Speaking of arriving as a bombshell she said: “It was nerve-racking, but it was a great experience. The girls were amazing, I was happy that I got to arrive with two lovely girls. It was fun!”
And on the topic of being dumped in a recoupling, she added: “I thought, ‘You’re done, you’re getting dumped!’ I didn’t obviously know there’d be a shock reveal that someone else would be coming in and I would have a second chance. All day me and Toni were joking, ‘I’ll see you in Vegas’. So I just thought, ‘Meh, bittersweet.’”
Harrison
Age: 22
Job: US college soccer player and student
From: Derby (lives Florida)
Harrison is looking for long-distance romance... "I’ve done long distance before so it’s not really an issue for me. I don’t know if or when I’m going back to America. But that’s not an issue. If you like a person you’ll make it work. I need someone who is fiery and got a bit of an attitude. I don’t want someone boring in the corner. I want someone who has got a bit of substance and voices their opinion. Confidence, being family oriented is a big one for me and someone who is ambitious, too."
Caprice - dumped
Age: 26
Job: Nursery Owner
From: Romford
Caprice is looking for marriage material... "I’m looking for 90s love. I want a man. A lot of men are quite sassy in this generation. I just want someone that’s going to treat me well. I’m also looking for a husband. I do feel like I’m getting closer to 30, I want a ring. The streets are cold. The next person I bring home needs to be my husband."
Speaking of how she felt when Dejon went back to the main Villa for Meg Caprice said: "I expected it. From the beginning, I felt like he knew what he was going to do. I think he’s playing a bit of a game though, but I expected it from him."
Giorgio
Age: 30
Job: Account Manager
Lives: Sydney, Australia. From Maidstone
Giorgio is looking for someone he can have a laugh with: "I like girls with a good personality, family-oriented and fun to be around. Someone that doesn't take life too seriously."
Poppy - dumped
Age: 22
Job: Dental Nurse
Lives: Stoke-on-Trent
Poppy says she gets bored quickly... "I like someone who has big energy but not too big. I love a good sense of humour but I basically need to keep them grounded, but for them to keep me on my toes."
Speaking of how she felt when Remell went back to the main Villa for Alima, Poppy said: "I was shocked and surprised. I feel like Remell perhaps didn’t go with his true feelings, he said less than 12 hours before on truth or dare game that he’d recouple with me and he wanted to take things further."
Will - dumped
Age: 25
Job: Personal Trainer
From: Norfolk
Will is looking for someone with manners: "I’m looking for someone who is just a nice person and polite. I’m quite family-oriented, so if they are as well that would be great. Nice to look at helps and someone that’s up for a laugh."
Talking of his exit and his fellow sleepover villa bombshells Caprice, Poppy and Giorgio, Will said: "We got on really well, it was great sharing that experience together. It will always be something that we've bonded over. I liked sharing the limelight. Hopefully Giorgio will keep on doing his thing!"
Billykiss
Age: 28
Job: Content Creator
From: Dublin
Billykiss has been single for 10 years and has her eye on Conor and Dejon. She said she's looking for "Someone tall who’s good looking but not too good looking and that’s confident, assertive, knows what they want and is serious about me."
Ryan
Age: 27
Job: Post Office Retail Support
From: Chesterfield
Ryan has admitted he has his eye on Shakira, Toni and Emily... "I’m 27 now so it would be good to find a girl that I could bring home to my parents. I’m definitely looking for love."
Speaking of his exit, Ryan said: "It’s been a bittersweet experience as I was only in there a short amount of time. I wish I got an opportunity to turn a few more heads but it is what it is!"
Love Island 2025 host
Once again Maya Jama will be back for presenting duties. Maya has been a hit with viewers since she took over from Laura Whitmore in 2023.
Maya is also usually on hand on Sundays for Love Island: Aftersun where she discusses all the latest goings-on in the villa with her panel of star guests, and it is thought the the spin off show will return again this year.
Love Island 2025 narrator
Once again, comedian Iain Stirling will be back with his brilliant voiceover, having provided his hilarious one-liners since the series started back in 2015.
Is there a trailer for Love Island 2025?
Yes! The trailer sees Maya and her team trying to come up with a fresh take on the Love Island brand - and it doesn't sound like we will be disappointed with what they come up with...
We were also treated to a teaser trailer in May...
Who won Love Island 2024?
Mimii and Josh were crowned the winners in the 2024 live final, narrowly beating series favorites Ciaran and Nicole. Jaws dropped in the villa when Maya Jama announced the news, especially because the pair had only been a couple for two weeks. Sadly it was announced in October 2024 that the pair have now split.
