Love Island 2025 cast: Full line-up of confirmed contestants

Love Island 2025 is in full swing, and there's certainly been plenty of drama so far.

Last night's episode (12th June) saw the ladies given the chance to couple up with the boys of their choosing, which left two boys single and at risk of being dumped from the villa.

    And it looks like there's plenty more chaos to come, as three new bombshells have been lined up to enter the show.

    Their arrival on Friday night’s episode will coincide with a huge twist, as the girls will be given the chance to watch the boys’ actions as they leave the villa and get introduced to the three new cast members.

    So, who are the new bombshells? Read on to learn more about the Love Island 2025 newcomers and current Islanders.

    The full line-up confirmed so far is as follows:

    Here's all you need to know about them.

    Malisha Jordan

    Age: 24

    Job: Teaching assistant

    Malisha, from Broxbourne, is looking for a "tall, dark, handsome man".

    "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 that’s caring and a bit loving, but then I like someone that can give me a bit of rude banter. I like to be a bit cheeky," she explained.

    Asked about how she feels about the prospect of stealing a boy as a new bombshell, she said: "If I want it, I’m going to get it. I always get what I want. I’m an only child, so of course I’m going to get what I want. I’m in there for myself. I want to find a man. Actually, I want to find a husband, that’s what I want to find."

    Emily Morann

    Age: 24

    Job: Insurance development executive

    Speaking about what she's looking for, Emily said: "Someone with emotional intelligence, for one. Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps!"

    Asked whether she'd be hesitant to steal a boy from another girl as a new bombshell, she responded: "I wouldn’t go after someone who wasn’t giving me the vibe back, I wouldn’t choose someone who didn’t fancy me. You can always feel if there’s a vibe. I wouldn’t want someone who doesn’t want me, or was giving someone else the time of day or lying to me. I want to be open and honest."

    Yasmin Pettet

    Age: 24

    Job: Commercial banking executive

    Yasmin from London says she's looking for "a guy who is fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter".

    On her secret skills, she revealed: "I can make a really realistic cat sound…"

    Shea Mannings

    Age: 25

    Job: Scaffolder

    Instagram: @shea.mannings

    Bombshell Shea Mannings lives in Bristol and is looking for a bubbly Islander to connect with in the villa.

    "She needs to have a nice personality – like I think I have – so that we match together," he said. "Also, I have a little boy, so I'll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too."

    Remell Mullins

    Age: 24

    Job: Self improvement content creator

    Instagram: @remellgains

    Remell Mullins is a self improvement content creator from Essex and is looking for a "bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun girl" in the villa.

    He said: "One feature that stands out to me is a nice smile, nice teeth and someone that can keep me on my toes."

    But for Remell, he can get bored "very easily", so is keen to couple up with someone who can stimulate him "mentally".

    Toni Laites

    Age: 24

    Job: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server

    Instagram: @tlaites20

    Toni, from Connecticut in the US, is this season's first bombshell arrival.

    She has said that her biggest ick is people with "bad hygiene", and that she's looking for someone with "darker hair" and a "clean hair cut", who is "definitely muscular but not too muscular" and is "super fit".

    She has said she doesn't "want to be super messy" in the villa, and that she's "hoping to come out with friends of course".

    "I guess I’m the party starter, I want everyone to have fun," she said.

    He elaborated: "Ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman."

    On his turn-offs, he added: "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

    Talking about what she wants in a partner, she said: "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."

    Instagram: @alimsssx

    Scottish single Alima is another contestant who'll be looking for love in the Mallorcan villa.

    She describes herself as a "good flirt" and has a go-to tactic when trying to flirt with men.

    She explained: "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."

    Tommy Bradley 

    Age: 22

    Landscape gardener Tommy Bradley is another 2025 contestant, and he knows exactly what he wants in a partner personality wise.

    He explained: "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."

    Dejon Noel-Williams

    Age: 26

    Job: Personal trainer

    Instagram: @dejonnoelwilliams

    Talking about what she's looking for in a partner, she said: "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."

    Another single who was hoping to find love in the villa this year is Sophie Lee from Manchester, but unfortunately her time in the villa came to an early end on day 2.

    After Shakira chose to couple up with Harry, this left Sophie single and therefore dumped from the villa.

    Sophie used to work as a fire breather but suffered an accident that left her with severe burns. She went on to write a book about her experience and has worked with The Katie Piper Foundation to raise awareness for fellow burn survivors.

    Sophie described herself as the "CEO of empowerment". She said: "I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self."

    Job: Water operative

    Instagram: @kyleaashman

    Kyle from Stafford has confirmed he will not be entering the villa this year after initially being announced as part of the line-up.

    The news comes after The Sun reported he had been questioned by police in connection with an incident involving a machete attack.

    "I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident," Ashman, 23, said in a statement to RadioTimes.com.

    "I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation."

    Though he was questioned, he was never charged.

    ITV also released a statement in the wake of Ashman's exit, citing "personal reasons" as the deciding factor behind his exit.

    "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned," the channel said.

    The 23-year-old had previously said he's simply looking for "someone that’s fun, confident and just themselves" on the show.

    Love Island airs Sunday to Friday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm.
