Three more Love Island UK 2025 contestants have been confirmed for season 12
The Love Island villa is filling up nicely, with three more contestants now confirmed.
"Pass the sun cream because these sexy singles are bringing the heat," the show wrote on their official X (formerly Twitter) page.
"Meet Helena, Kyle and Megan," they added.
London-based Helena, 29, works in cabin crew. While she's travelled the world via work, she's not looking for someone too far and has her heart set on a Northern lad.
"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," she said ahead of the show.
Kyle, 23, is a man of few words, but he knows what he wants - "Someone that's fun, confident and just themselves," he said.
Meanwhile musical theatre performer and energy broker Megan is after someone "pasty, like Timothée Chalamet." Erm, we're not quite sure that's what Kylie thinks, but sure, Meg.
The trio will join the six other Islanders who have already been confirmed for season 12.
Sophie, Meg and Dejon were the first three Islanders revealed, followed by Tommy, Alima and Ben.
Season 12 will kick off on Monday 9th June, with the Islanders making their way to the villa where they'll be met by the show's host Maya Jama.
The first set of islanders will then couple up. But, this is Love Island after all and nothing stays sweet for too long, so we can expect a bombshell to enter at some part and blow it all apart - oh we can't wait.
Love Island starts on ITV2 on Monday 9th June at 9pm.

Osbourne's Black Sabbath bandmate 'wasn't prepared' for how frail he appeared before final show

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Geezer Butler, the founding bassist of Black Sabbath, revealed how the band's final concert came together weeks before Ozzy Osbourne's death. In a tribute written for the Times of London, Butler said he was initially taken aback by Osbourne's appearance when the band came in for rehearsals. 'I knew he wasn't in good health, but I wasn't prepared to see how frail he was,' Butler shared, in an otherwise glowing tribute to his longtime bandmate. 'He was helped into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane — being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones.' Butler said that Osbournce became exhausted 'after six or seven songs' and was 'really quiet compared to the Ozzy of old.' The concert on July 5 was still a massive success, with bands indebted to Sabbath performing before a double set of Osbourne's solo material and Black Sabbath's biggest hits. Osbourne died on July 22, after a years-long battle with Parkinson's disease. Butler shared his appreciation that he got to play one last time with a nearly lifelong friend. 'Nobody knew he'd be gone from us little more than two weeks after the final show. But I am so grateful we got to play one last time together in front of his beloved fans. The love from the fans and all the bands, musicians, singers and solo artists that night was incredible,' he wrote. 'Everyone had come to pay homage to the Prince. I am so privileged to have spent most of my life with him.' The post Osbourne's Black Sabbath bandmate 'wasn't prepared' for how frail he appeared before final show appeared first on

Swingathon boss lifts the lid on England's notorious ‘sex festival'
If you think festival season is all about flower crowns and muddy fields, think again. Deep in England's Lincolnshire countryside, there's a gathering in the sleepy town of Allington that only those 'in the know' dare to visit. Dubbed by The Sun's sex writer as 'Glastonbury with orgies and Love Island-style beauties,' Swingathon, now in its fifth year, isn't your typical festival. But speaking to In the Newsroom podcast, its organizer, Matt Cole, insists it still has elements of a standard festival. 12 Deep in England's Lincolnshire countryside, there's a gathering in the sleepy town of Allington that only those 'in the know' dare to visit.

News Licensing / MEGA 'It's got live music and entertainment, but it's for people in the lifestyle,' Cole told the podcast. For those not familiar with 'the lifestyle,' swinging involves people from all walks of life – LGBTQIA+, queer, couples, and anyone willing to explore non-monogamy. The three-day event held last weekend marked its biggest turnout yet, with nearly 1,000 revellers descending on the small town – which was more than the entire local population. But despite its fun ethos, the event drew serious complaints last year from nearby residents who claimed they heard loud, hours-long 'moaning' sounds coming from the campgrounds. Cole insists that this was only half true. 'Yes, we had (moaning), but the complaints are basically a lie. We are three miles (4.8km) from the nearest village, so if anyone can scream that loud … that's a scream,' he laughed. 12 For those not familiar with 'the lifestyle', swinging involves people from all walks of life – LGBTQIA+, queer, couples, and anyone willing to explore non-monogamy.

The event is mainly made up of couples, with a two-person ticket setting you back around $470 AUD ($308 USD) and singles around $400 ($263 USD). This year, there were around 100 single men and 50-60 single women in attendance. In terms of the age bracket, the average age is 37, which is much younger than many would expect. 'The youngest that we let in was 21 and the oldest guy was 69,' he shared. So what actually goes on behind the gates? 12 The event is mainly made up of couples, with a two-person ticket setting you back around $470 AUD ($308 USD) and singles around $400 ($263 USD).

'Some of them might be like flogging, wax play or rope play,' he says. 'Or pole dancing, burlesque classes and massage classes'. There are also hot tubs, sex games, foam parties, and mobile dungeons. Butt plug bingo is one of the more interesting events, which is bingo with a cheeky twist to it (you win the adult-themed toy at the end). 12 By day, the festival – which sees people rock up in anything from their birthday suits, lingerie and fancy dress – hosts lots of different events.

'There's group tents, then there's voyeur tents – all sorts of tents for everybody'. But before you think it's all debauchery, Mr. Cole says that many don't even go for that reason. Many simply attend for the liberating, body positivity aspect. 'They just go to be around like-minded people,' he says. 'It's not what people think. You don't just turn up and start swinging. A lot of friendships get made, and people leave with so much more confidence than when they started.'

Horror Hit '28 Years Later' New On Streaming This Week, Report Says
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Alfie Williams in "28 Years Later." Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodi Comer and Ralph Fiennes' hit horror thriller 28 Years Later is reportedly coming to digital streaming this week. The third film in the horror film series that began with 28 Days Later in 2002, 28 Years Later reunites the original film's director, Danny Boyle, and its screenwriter, Alex Garland. The film was released in theaters on June 20. The summary for 28 Years Later reads, 'It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. 'When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.' According to When to Stream, 28 Years Later is expected to debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, July 29. While the streaming tracker is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, When to Stream noted that 28 Years Later Sony Pictures Entertainment has not announced or confirmed the release date and it is subject to change. When it is released, 28 Years Later will be available on several digital platforms, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube. Prime Video currently has 28 Years Later listed for pre-order for $24.99, which is also the film's purchase price on PVOD. Since PVOD rentals typically run $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent 28 Years Later for $19.99 for a 48-hour period. The film is still playing in theaters. So far, 28 Years Later has earned $70 million domestically and $80 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $150 million. The film had a $60 million production before prints and advertising costs, per The Numbers. Danny Boyle Says '28 Years Later' Is Not A Zombie Film While those who have the Rage Virus in 28 Years Later have zombie-like qualities, Danny Boyle insisted in an interview with TIME Magazine before the film's release in theaters that the antagonists are not zombies. 'We had this thing about, 'No, they're not zombies. They're infected,'' Boyle told TIME. 'We wanted them to behave in a different way physically, but they also weren't undead. They could die and they will die, but so will you if they catch you.' In 28 Years Later, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's character, Jamie, takes his 12-year-old son, Spike (Alfie Williams), to the mainland where the infected roam over the objections of his wife and the boy's mother, Isla (Jodie Comer). The trip to the mainland is a rite of passage where the younger people sheltered by their island community learn to hunt the infected. Bold told TIME that part of the storyline was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. 'When COVID first happened, we wore gloves, we disinfected groceries,' Boyle told TIME. 'But gradually over time, you start taking more risks. You don't stay in that super alert stage. You evolve. And so it is in 28 Years. They begin to take risks. Jamie takes his 12-year-old son to the mainland even though, as the mom says, that's f---ing crazy.' Rated R, 28 Years Later — which is executive produced by 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy — is expected to arrive on PVOD on Tuesday.
