Love Island 2025 line-up verdict: Rumoured contestants revealed including CBB star and former Islander trangho

   

It's almost Love Island season, and what better way to get in the villa spirit than with some Islander announcements.

 

The show hasn't yet confirmed who'll be stepping into the villa for season 12, which marks the show's 10-year anniversary, but rumours have been swirling about some of the contestants.

Three singletons have been named dropped for the new series - and one is already a celeb!

The Only Way is Essex star Ella Rae Wise - who most recently appeared on Celebrity Big Brother alongside JoJo Siwa - is rumoured to be heading to Mallorca for Love Island. According to an insider, Wise would be "the perfect celebrity" to shake things up in the villa.

As we wait for this year's show to crack on, read on for all the rumoured contestants, as well as out verdict on the potential islanders.

According to OK! Gabriella is thought to be one of the Islanders heading into the villa this year. She's the daughter of Real Housewives of Cheshire's Tanya Bardsley and footballer Phil Bardsley.

Gabriella has grown up on screen, also featuring in her family's own reality TV series The Bardsley Bunch on ITVbe. Given her reality TV history, Gabriella, who already has over 70k followers on Instagram, would feel right at home in front of the cameras and could make a great Islander.

Job: Reality TV star


According to an insider, Ella Rae Wise is "in talks" to appear on Love Island.

"Ella’s team are in talks with Love Island bosses about her going into the villa this summer. Ella is up for it because she believes a nice amount of time will have passed between her split with Dan Edgar, and she’ll be ready to start dating again by then," a source told The Sun.

"It would have been far too soon for her to do something like Celebs Go Dating, but she’ll be up for a single girl summer in the sunshine. Bosses are really keen to make it happen."

She's no stranger to reality TV, having appeared on TOWIE and most recently CBB, so we imagine Ella will feel right at home in the villa.

As well as this, TOWIE alumni Joey Essex was a celebrity contestant on season 11, so it's very likely the show could put some more celebs on the show for the 10-year anniversary.

Plus, Ella is newly single and you know what they say about the best way to get over someone...
