The first six Love Island UK contestants have been confirmed including a former fire-breather and nepo baby
Six Love Island contestants have officially been confirmed as of 3rd June 2025.
The show revealed the first set of Islanders on their official X (formerly Twitter) page this morning.
First up, Sophie, Dejon and Meg were announced as the first three contestants taking part this year.
"Babe, wake up! The first few Islanders have just been officially announced... Meet Sophie, Dejon and Meg," read a Tweet alongside a picture of three islanders looking glam in their swimwear.
Another announcement came an hour later, with Tommy, Alima and Ben confirmed to be joining the original trio.
"Announcement from gate two: The second batch of Islanders are boarding Meet Tommy, Alima and Ben," the show added.
Former fire-breather Sophie was one of the rumoured contestants said to be joining the show, with the hope of raising body positivity, after a fire breathing accident left her with severe burns to the face.
"Sophie is a gorgeous girl and a powerhouse of a woman who has overcome everything life has thrown at her," a source told The Sun.
"Just like Tasha Ghouri's amazing time in the villa where she raised awareness for the hearing impaired, Love Island bosses are thrilled to give Sophie the same platform to discuss her accident and how she's become comfortable in her skin since.
Dejon is no stranger to the celebrity world, as his dad is former professional footballer, Gifton Noel-Williams, 45, who has played for Stoke City, Waford and Burnley to name a few.
Payroll specialist Meg, 25, hails from Southampton and is hoping to find the someone "tall" with a nice tan. Meanwhile Alima, 23, is looking for her "Disney Prince".
Tommy is the youngest contestant so far at just 22-years-old, and he's after an "ambitious" woman to go by his side.
As for Ben, his head will turn for "someone sexy, good looking, [with] good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact."
Love Island starts on ITV2 on Monday 9th June at 9pm.

Burning Questions Fans Want Answered at the Love Island USA Season 7 Reunion
Source: Courtesy / Peacock After a season full of shocking recouplings, social media controversies, and one of the most chaotic Casa Amor twists yet, viewers are dying to know what really went down behind the scenes and where the couples stand now. From messy breakups to undercover secrets, unanswered questions have kept Reddit and X threads alive all summer. The reunion is set for August 25 at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT on Peacock and hosted by Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen. Fans are hoping for some clarity, drama, and maybe even a few surprises. Will some Islanders finally come clean on their true feelings? Will fan-favorite couples survive the spotlight? And will the most talked-about contestants even show up? Here are the biggest questions fans are hoping get answered when everyone's back under one roof: Did Chris throw the finale on purpose? Chris seemed completely checked out during the finale — and even dumped Huda at the very last minute. Was he trying to avoid the spotlight, or just avoid splitting the prize money? Their split didn't exactly shock fans (many were surprised they even made it to the top three), but what actually triggered the breakup? Both have given vague post‑Villa interviews, but viewers still aren't buying the story. Nicolandria: genuine love or a production play? Nic and Olandria have been inseparable since the Villa, at least online. But are they actually in love — or just playing along for the cameras and brand deals? Fans also want to know: what were Cierra's real feelings about their connection, especially since Movie Night (where receipts usually get aired) was skipped this year. Why was Movie Night skipped, and what really happened during the Heart Rate Challenge? Producers confirmed the fan‑favorite Movie Night segment was cut, but why? Were there clips that would've blown up too many relationships? And fans still want to see the uncut version of the Heart Rate Challenge, which sparked tension but clearly left out some big reactions. What really went down during the Stand On Business challenge? We all know the cameras don't show everything, and this challenge clearly rattled the Villa. What big arguments, shady answers, or walkouts got cut from the final edit? And who actually broke down once the cameras turned away? Did Nic actually have feelings for Cierra, or was he just playing it safe? Before Cierra's controversial exit over her resurfaced racist posts, she and Nic abruptly called it quits. But was Nic's connection with her ever real — or was he keeping her close just to stay in the game? Fans want him to finally tell the truth. Just how toxic did the Villa get during the Huda‑Jeremiah fallout? That fallout divided the Villa, with some Islanders saving Huda while others clearly regretted it. Does anyone now wish they'd handled it differently? And who still stands by their decision to back her? Did Taylor ever admit his true feelings for Olandria inside the villa, or just vent to the boys? Taylor's subtle flirting with Olandria didn't go unnoticed by viewers. But did he ever come clean to her about how he felt — or was he content keeping it between the boys and hoping no one else caught on?

5 Things I Have To Get Off My Chest About Season 7 Of ‘Love Island'
Source: Peacock / Peacock When it comes to reality TV shows, I don't play about mine. I usually keep to the drama of the Real Housewives but I found my way to the Love Island corner of the reality sphere a few years ago. Last season, Serena and Kordell gave me hope for Black love. We finally felt seen and valued on these types of shows. So, like many, I was ready for season 7 of Love Island USA. I was ready to see the tea in Soul Ties, the chats, the girl gang, romances, and real love. What I got instead was a mixed bag of an overproduced mess. A jumbled narrative that felt more like a choreographed reality show than the spontaneous blossoming of love and drama I'd come to expect. The raw, unfiltered moments that once defined the show turned into manufactured tension and predictable plotlines. With that said, please find 5 things I need to get off my chest about this season. It's infuriating to watch Black women on Love Island consistently painted as 'mean girls' or 'aggressive' simply for asserting themselves, setting boundaries, or expressing their true feelings. When a non-Black woman does the exact same thing, she's celebrated as strong, confident, or a 'boss babe.' This double standard is unfair. It is a deeply rooted microaggression highlighting broader societal biases. Black women are constantly policed for their tone, their emotions, and their reactions. Even when we are simply standing up for ourselves or holding others accountable. It's time for the show and viewers to dismantle these harmful tropes. A Black woman setting her standards and refusing to be disrespected is a sign of self-worth, not a character flaw. The lack of accountability for the male islanders on Love Island is a glaring issue season after season. The men are given a free pass for manipulative behavior, gaslighting, emotional unavailability, and general disrespect towards the women. The women are constantly scrutinized for their choices, their 'journeys,' and their perceived flaws. The men often face little to no genuine pressure or consequences for their actions. This creates an imbalanced dynamic where women are expected to tolerate poor behavior and consistently work to understand or 'fix' the men. Rather than the men being held responsible for their own actions and growth. The show needs to do a better job of highlighting and challenging male toxicity, rather than consistently overlooking it. The decision to remove Islanders for using racial slurs is a necessary step. But the show's handling of it still fell short. The lack of transparency and refusal to explicitly name the racist behavior feels like a passive-aggressive attempt to address a serious issue without truly confronting it. When these instances are vaguely referenced or swept under the rug, it not only diminishes the impact of the racist actions but also fails to properly educate viewers. Furthermore, this disingenuous approach is compounded by the fact that Black women on the show consistently face a barrage of racist abuse from internet trolls outside the villa. The show's failure to unequivocally condemn racism, both on and off-screen, sends a dangerous message that it is more concerned with optics than genuinely protecting its contestants and fostering an inclusive environment. It is baffling how little research is done on the Islanders before they enter the villa. Time and again, contestants come in with problematic social media histories, past controversial statements. Not to mention a clear pattern of behavior that suggests they might not be suitable for a show centered on healthy relationships and emotional maturity. This lack of vetting raises serious questions about the casting process. Is the show prioritizing drama over the well-being of its contestants and the integrity of the 'love' experiment? A more thorough background check and a deeper understanding of potential Islanders' pasts could prevent many of the uncomfortable and damaging situations. Source: Peacock / Peacock *in the narrator's voice* A mid size or plus-size bombshell has never entered the villa — why is that? There's a pressing issue that demands our scrutiny: the glaring body exclusivity prevalent across these platforms. It's time to ask: is it truly a prerequisite in 2025 that folks must be a size 4 or under? This narrow representation fails to reflect the beautiful diversity of body types in the real world. It also perpetuates harmful ideals of beauty. Reality television consistently showcases only a specific physique. It sends a clear message that only certain bodies are desirable, worthy of love, and deserving of screen time. This can have detrimental effects on viewers' self-esteem, fostering unrealistic expectations and body image issues. The absence of diverse body shapes contributes to an exclusive culture. Larger bodies get erased and marginalized. It reinforces a narrow and unattainable standard of beauty. True inclusivity means embracing a spectrum of body types, just as it means embracing diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Until then, these 'love' islands will continue to project a distorted and exclusive version of reality, rather than the true and varied landscape of human attraction and affection.

‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' and ‘Love Island' won't stand for cyberbullies. Why is social media so toxic?
'The Summer I Turned Pretty' is the second series in as many months to directly warn its audience about cyberbullying. Posting on its official social media accounts, the Prime Video series issued a 'PSA for the Summer community': 'We have a ZERO tolerance policy for bullying and hate speech. If you engage in any of the following you will be banned.' Fans were cautioned against 'hate speech or bullying,' 'targeting our cast or crew' and 'harassing or doxxing members of the community.' This comes on the heels of 'Love Island USA' releasing similar warnings. Last month, host Ariana Madix called out 'fan' behavior on the series' recap show, 'Aftersun.' 'Don't be contacting people's families. Don't be doxxing people. Don't be going on Islanders' pages and saying rude things,' she said. The show's social accounts subsequently followed up with the message: 'Please just remember they're real people — so let's be kind and spread the love!' So this is where we are. Online discourse has become so toxic that television series are forced to address it in their publicity campaigns. It's difficult to know whether to applaud or weep. Maybe both. Certainly having television creators, and their social media teams, address a decades-long problem directly and proactively is far preferable to the more traditional entertainment industry approach. You know, waiting until some unfortunate actor or contestant is buried under an avalanche of hate speech before appearing shocked and horrified that such a thing could happen among (fill in the blank) fan base. (We will never forget, Kelly Marie Tran!) Whether these warnings will be duplicated or prove effective remains to be seen. Studies suggest that cyberbullies who have their posts removed are less likely to repost and perhaps being called out by shows they watch will give some 'fans' pause before they vent their spleen online. It is still maddening that after years of research on the prevalence and dangers of cyberbullying, we are apparently relying on 'Love Island' and 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' as a first line of defense against behavior that has been proved to cause suicide, self-harm and a host of mental illnesses. Obviously, something is very wrong. With the medium and its message. When the internet became widely available, it promised to be an endless library of art and information. Instead, its most popular feature was easy (and often quite unintentional) access to porn. So should we have been surprised when fan sites and social media platforms, built to allow free, unfettered and quite often anonymous discourse, became equally at risk for humanity's less sterling qualities? Should it have been a revelation that certain film and television fans would behave badly when something occurred in their beloved universe that they did not like? Have you ever been to Dodger Stadium? Nothing about the impulses or language of cyberbullying is new. Hate mail has existed since writing was invented —poison pen letters caused a criminal crisis in the early 20th century — and celebrities have always been in danger of the 'build 'em up and tear 'em down' fan flex. What's new (or new-ish) are the platforms that encourage such things. Poison pen letters are illegal. Poisonous posts are part of the social media business plan. Yes, those who hate-post should take personal responsibility and our culture, like our politics, has grown more divisive and, frankly, mean. Social media at best allows and at worst encourages us to post things we might never say to a person standing in front of us. Commentary as blood sport. Looking back, there was such heartbreaking optimism about the role social media would play in art, particularly television. Creators could actively engage with fans in real time and deepen audience commitment. A viral video or a clever Twitter campaign could save marketing departments millions. And celebrities could post their own 'in real life' pictures, potentially thwarting the paparazzi, as well as stories, statements and confessionals, thereby avoiding the need for interviews over which they had far less control. DIY publicity and deeply personal fan engagement — what could go wrong? DIY publicity and deeply personal fan engagement, that's what. Say what you will about the old days when artists had to rely on legacy media for publicity — if readers had something bad to say, they shared it with the publication, which had standards about what letters would be made public. Direct contact with public figures was quite difficult — even fan mail was read and sorted by publicity departments and secretaries. Now most everyone is accessible on one platform or another and there are very few standards. Having leveraged the unpaid labor of millions to create profitable platforms, social media owners are not interested in providing basic consumer protection. Using the most facile definition of free speech — which is the right to voice opinions without government interference or punishment, not the right to post any hateful or incendiary thought you have — Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and other platform owners have consistently refused or pushed back against any demands of meaningful regulation. Instead they rely on other users. The self-policing of social media is real and often effective, but it is far too arbitrary to act as a substitute for media regulation and mob rule is not something we should embrace. The simple answer is 'don't look' — avoid the comments section or get off social media altogether. Which would be great advice if it were not so patently ridiculous. Intentionally or not, we have made social media a powerful force in this country. Particularly in the entertainment industry, where careers are made on YouTube, TikTok influencers are cultural arbiters and the number of one's Instagram followers can determine whether they get the job or not. It's easy to say 'ignore the haters' and virtually impossible for most of us to do. More importantly, it puts the responsibility on the wrong people, like telling a woman to just ignore a boss or colleague who makes crude comments about her appearance. It's been decades since Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and all the other platforms could be viewed as simply fun forums on which to share vacation snaps. They deliver the news, shape our politics, market our businesses and create our culture. They are not public spaces; they belong to media companies that are owned and controlled by individuals just like any other media company. So yeah, it's great that 'Love Island' and 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' have taken steps to try to prevent online hate. But their warnings only illuminate the elephant in the room. A billion-dollar industry is failing to protect the very people who built it in the first place.
