This 23-year-old with famous parents is rumoured to be an Islander on Love Island 2025

She literally ticks every box of what producers look for


We have our latest Islander rumoured for Love Island 2025! The show is now returning in a matter of days, and we’ve had a few names swirl around as who could potentially be entering the villa.

The most recent name on people’s lips as a potential Islander rumoured for Love Island 2025 is a 23-year-old reality star, with two famous parents. Basically, a recipe for success in Love Island bosses’ eyes.

Her name is Gabriella Bardsley, and you might recognise her as the daughter of Real Housewives of Cheshire’s Tanya Bardsley, and footballer Phil Bardsley. As well as her mum being very versed in the reality TV world, Gabriella knows the ropes too. She’s starred in ITVX’s The Bardsley Bunch, with her famous family.

The Bardsley Bunch is mainly focused around Tanya Bardsley, as one of The Real Housewives of Cheshire’s best-loved and longest-standing stars. It lifts the lid on the chaos of her home life with husband Phil and their four kids Gabriella, Rocco, Renz and Ralphi. 

Gabriella is also an influencer and business owner, with 70k Instagram followers and her own skin treatment business. It’s no wonder Love Island casting producers have apparently been after her for years.

It’s been revealed by Gabriella’s mum Tanya that the show has approached her twice in the past, but previously she’s always turned them down. Is it about to change this year?

According to reports, Tanya has had “multiple” conversations with Love Island about signing up to be an Islander. If you ask me, I think she’d be perfect.

So far, there have been three further names rumoured for Love Island 2025, so Gabriella would be the fourth potential Islander. They are recruitment adviser Michelle Roscoe, CBB star Ella Rae Wise and former Islander Kodie Murphy.

The show will be back in the Mallorca villa in June, with Maya Jama as host. It’s time for a long, hot summer!
