All 12 Islanders entering the villa on Monday 9th June have officially been confirmed.
Blu, Shakira and Harry were the last trio to be announced for season 12, with the show writing on their official X (formerly Twitter) page: "Dipping into the Villa so they can dive into a summer of love ... Meet Blu, Shakira and Harry"
The trio complete the line-up, which also includes, Sophie, Meg and Dejon (who were the first three Islanders to be revealed for the 2025 season), followed by Tommy, Alima, Ben, Helena, Kyle and Megan.
All 12 islanders will be heading to the Mallorcan villa for the launch show, hosted by Maya Jama.
They’ll spend up to eight weeks in the villa, cracking on, coupling up and trying to avoid being dumped from the island.
As we wait for season 12 to kick off (oh we can't wait) read on for everything you need to know about this year's cast - from former fire-breather Sophie Lee, to Dejon, whose dad is a famous footballer.
1
Blu
Age: 26
Job: Construction project manager
Lives: London
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…. "Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way," Blu says.
He's not from up North, but like Helena, personality is everything for Blu, which could make these two the perfect duo.

Shakira
Age: 22
Job: Marketing
Lives: Burnley
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is… "Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny," Shakira says.
We don't think Shakira has to worry about height when it comes to this year's line-up. We could picture her and Ben going very nicely together.

Harry
Age: 30
Job: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model
Lives: Guildford
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…. "The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don’t think I’d go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl," Harry says.
Asked what his claim to fame is, Harry revealed: "I’m the body double for Declan Rice. So 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."
Harry is looking for a sweet girl to take home to his family, and we think Meg could be just the type...

Megan
Age: 24
Job: Musical theatre performer and energy broker
Lives: Brighton, from Dublin
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is… "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," Megan explains.
Just like Tommy, Megan wants someone who doesn't take themselves "too seriously". These two are already saying the exact same things, so could this be a match?

Kyle
Age: 23
Job: Water operative
Lives: Stafford
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…. "Someone that’s fun, confident and just themselves," Kyle says.
Kyle is going to be spoilt for choice with all these uber confident ladies in the villa. We're kind of shipping him and Alima at first glance though - watch this space!
6
Helena
Age: 29
Job: Cabin crew
Lives: London
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is… "Somebody funny or Northern. 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 says.
Helena might struggle to find her Northern lad straight away, as most of the boys in the starting line-up are from down South. But, all Helena really needs is something to make her laugh, which shouldn't be too difficult.

Alima
Age: 23
Job: Wealth Management Client Services Executive
Lives: Glasgow
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…. "A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it," Alima revealed ahead of season 12.
Alima says she's a "good flirt" and isn't afraid to ask guys on a night out - something that might come in handy in the villa.
In terms of who we could see her coupling up with, Tommy kind of has that clean Disney prince look and Kyle isn't doing too bad either...

Ben
Age: 23
Job: Private Hire Taxi driver
Lives: Gloucester
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is… "Someone sexy, good looking, good chat, good vibes, nice teeth and good eye contact - they’re all the traits I look for. Oh, and also a cute smile, I just look at you and know I can be around you all day, every day," Ben revealed.
Well this is Love Island and it's known for his hot singletons, so we don't think Ben hasn't anything to worry about there...

Tommy
Age: 22
Job: Landscape gardener
Lives: Hertfordshire
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…. 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.
There's a lot of boss babes heading into the villa this year, so Tommy is going to be spoiled for choice!

Sophie
Age: 29
Job: Motivational Speaker and Author
Lives: Manchester
Islander I’d like to couple up with is… "Someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive. At the moment I’m only finding ones draped in red flags and ‘do not cross’ signs," Sophie says.
Former fire performer Sophie Lee, 29, has been confirmed for this year's show after it was rumoured that she'd be taking part.
When she was just 22, Sophie had a fire-breathing accident left her with significant burns. Since then, Sophie has used her experience to become and activist.
"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.
With bags of confidence and a great story to share, we think Sophie is perfect for the starting line-up.

Dejon
Age: 26
Job: Personal trainer
Lives: London
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is…. Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy.
Personal trainer Dejon, 26, is no stranger to the celebrity world. His dad is a former footballer and he's met a few celebs...
Asked what his claim to fame is, Dejon said: "My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. 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."
The ladies love a personal trainer in the villa and it looks like Dejon has the confidence to back it...

Meg
Age: 25
Job: Payroll specialist
Lives: Southampton
The type of Islander I’d like to couple up with is… "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," Meg revealed ahead of the show.
Payroll specialist Meg, 25, is one of the first three contestants confirmed for this year's show. According to Megan, her love life is "bankrupt" right now, but "we’re going to make sales and get on that corporate ladder and be booming."
