Here's the full Love Island 2025 line-up...

Sophie Lee - DUMPED

• Age: 29
• Job: Motivational Speaker and Author
• From: Manchester

After suffering severe facial burns, Sophie became an author as she released her memoir 'In My Skin'. Speaking about the incident, Sophie said: "When I was 22 a fire breathing accident changed my life. Because of the depth of my burn, I’m very lucky to be alive. I developed a keloid tumour. I found out there was no cure in the world. I became an international case study."

"It’s been a long process and I’ve documented it very openly. For me it’s about raising awareness and also helping other trauma survivors. I’m very honoured, now they’ve put this surgery to be available on the NHS for many more patients. It can be seen as a medical breakthrough."

In the villa, Sophie is looking for "someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive".

She also says she's the "CEO of empowerment. I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self."

Sadly Sophie became the first Love Island 2025 contestant to be evicted after her partner stood up to couple up with someone else in week 1's shock twist.

Dejon Noel-Williams

• Age: 26
• Job: Personal trainer
• From: London

Dejon, semi-professional footballer himself, says his claim to fame is the fact that his dad is an ex-professional footballer. "I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him," he says. "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."

Dejon is hoping to couple up with "someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy."

Meg Moore

• Age: 25
• Job: Payroll specialist 
• From: Southampton

Joining the villa this summer is Meg, and she'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."

Meg's biggest ick is poor hygiene. "You have to be clean, if you’re not changing your boxers, if you’re not brushing your teeth, if you’re not washing your nails and keeping your feet nice...that’s an ick."

Oh, and flip-flops: "I hate flip flops on men! If you wear flip flops around me I can’t stand it."

Tommy Bradley

• Age: 22 
• Job: Landscape Gardener 
• From: Hertfordshire

The fourth islander announced for the 2025 villa is Tommy. He's looking for a girl who is "very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously."

As for his type on paper? "I want a bit of everything. I haven’t got a specific type in terms of looks, though."

Alima Gagio

• Age: 23
• Job: Wealth Management Client Services Executive
• From: Glasgow

The stunning Alima is next up, and all she wants is a "tall man with a handsome face". She added: "You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it."

According to Alima, she's a good flirt. Her favourite thing to do is ask guys where they think she's originally from and if they get it right, she'll give them her 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," she added.

Ben Holbrough

• Age: 23
• Job: Private Hire Taxi driver and model
• From: Gloucester

In a video on Ben's Star Now modelling page, he says: "My main line of work is modelling, which I've been doing for about five or six years now. But when I'm not doing that, my hobbies are either going to the gym or playing football."

Ben is hoping to be coupled with up someone "sexy, good looking, good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact." Oh, and also a "cute smile".

Megan Forte Clarke

• Age: 24
• Job: Musical theatre performer and energy broker
• From: Brighton, from Dublin

Megan's claim to fame is going viral for a hilarious Derry Girls TikTok. "Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it," she said. She's also done Panto, too.

As for who Megan is looking to couple up with? "Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour."

"If they’re not bad looking, that’s always a plus. 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."

Helena Ford

• Age: 29
• Job: Cabin Crew
• From: London

29-year-old Helena will be entering the villa this summer and she's looking for "somebody funny or Northern".

Explaining why, she said: "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."

Helena is a "reformer pilates princess" and Justin Bieber also follows her on Twitter/X.

Conor Phillips

Age: 25

Job: Professional rugby player 

From: Limerick

Seemingly in place of Kyle Ashman, ITV announced Conor as a newly confirmed islander. But what's Conor looking for in the villa? "Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman," he said.

And revealing his biggest ick, Conor said: "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 Chegini

• Age: 26
• Job: Construction Project Manager
• From: London

Blu, from London, is looking for someone who is "family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive." He says "personality goes a long way".

Blu speaks fluent Spanish which he says comes in handy when flirting with the girls.

Shakira Khan

• Age: 22
• Job: Marketing 
• From: Burnley

Shakira says she's got a busy love life but she's "not found ‘the husband’" yet. She's hoping to find "the one" in the villa and she's "looking for the ring".

Her type on paper? "Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny." And her ick? Bad breath.

On top of her marketing job, Shakira also dresses up as a princess for kids parties on the weekend.

Harry Cooksley

• Age: 30
• Job: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model
• From: Guildford

Semi-pro footballer and Declan Rice 'body double' Harry is looking for a girl that "makes me laugh" and someone who can "hold eye contact with me". He says he doesn't think he'd go for the most obvious girl... he prefers a "real sweet girl".

Explaining his connection to England star Declan Rice, Harry explained: "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."

Antonia Laites

• Age: 24
• Job: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server
• From: Las Vegas

Toni is the first bombshell of many to come this series. The 24-year-old brunette who hails from Connecticut has said she's looking for: "Someone that can make me laugh - I’m super outgoing. And someone that’s quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together."

She's ditched The States for Majorca as she says dating in America is "a mess". "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, it would just break my heart to not have my job anymore," she said before heading into the villa.

Shea Mannings

Age: 25

Job: Scaffolder

From: Bristol

Shea Mannings is switching his day job and semi professional football career for a summer in the Love Island villa in the hope of finding his forever partner.

Talking about his requirements heading onto the show, he said: "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 taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too."

Despite a "booming" love life, he's after someone more serious and ready to settle down.

Remell Mullins

Age: 24

Job: Self Improvement Content Creator

From: Essex

Remell has a successful career and Instagram profile on the outside of the villa and is looking for a girl just as ambitious as he is.

He said he was 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."

The 2025 contestant went on to say someone who wasn't driven would be a big ick for him as he added: "Not having any ambition or 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?"
