Incoming Bombshells
Just when you think the heat’s settled — boom — here come the bombshells.
🔥 Aaron Buckett, 6’5”, PT and heartbreaker, will be strategically unleashed after early couples form. His mission? Tempt, tease, and turn heads.
💄 Lucy Quinn, 20 — A Liverpool-based makeup artist with glam goals, Lucy is “single and ready to mingle” and counting down the days to her villa debut.

Let the Games Begin
The official Love Island cast announcement drops tomorrow, and the series kicks off next Monday on ITV2. Expect drama, grafting, heartbreak, and maybe just maybe a summer of true love.
ITV says: “As always, there’s a lot of speculation around the Love Island line-up. We’ll be announcing the full cast in due course.”
Love Island 2025 sticks to its beloved format with a fresh twist — a group of singles, dubbed “Islanders,” are brought together in a luxury villa in Mallorca where they must couple up to stay in the game. Every few days, contestants re-couple, choosing to stay with their current partner or switch things up. The catch? Those left single risk being dumped from the island. Along the way, they face flirty games, explosive challenges, and surprise recouplings, all under the watchful eye of Maya Jama and the show’s legion of fans.
Public voting continues to play a huge role, giving viewers the power to influence who stays, who goes, and which couple wins. From fiery new arrivals (aka “bombshells”) to emotional twists and turns, the series builds towards a grand finale where one lucky couple wins the public vote — and a cash prize. But with temptation, tension, and true connections all in the mix, Love Island is far more than just a dating show — it’s a social experiment wrapped in sun, sass, and scandal.
