It’s time! 11 people all rumoured to be part of the official Love Island 2025 cast
The one week countdown is ON
With the show starting next week, a whole bunch of people have now been rumoured to be part of the Love Island 2025 cast. We have models, personal trainers and footballers all apparently getting ready to walk through the villa doors.
Love Island season 12 will begin on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday 9th June at 9pm. We literally have just one week to go! And this week, we are expecting an official cast list reveal from ITV. So, in the meantime, let’s see who is rumoured for the Love Island 2025 cast. Most of the time, the rumours turn out to be true anyway.
Megan Forte Clarke
Irish actress Megan Forte Clarke is a recent name being spoken about for the villa. She’s from Dublin, and is apparently mates with Love Island legend, Harriett Blackmore.
A source told MailOnline: “Megan is a gorgeous girl, she’s funny, and right now, couldn’t be unluckier in love, making her the perfect Islander. Comparisons to Maura are inevitable and if anything, Megan will see it as a huge compliment.
“ITV is yet to officially confirm the lineup of singletons heading into the villa this year but with the show’s launch just a week away, it won’t be long until they do.”
Tommy Bradley
Up next is Tommy Bradley, who The Sun is reporting as a confirmed cast member. A source said: “Tommy seems to tick all the Love Island boxes as the cheeky chappy of this summer’s series.

“He looks to enjoy a night out with the lads and out on the boxing scene with his brother. But he’s also packed on serious muscle over the last year ready for telly’s famous villa and is no longer just a personality hire. Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell.”
Rose Selway
MailOnline has claimed 24-year-old Rose Selway will also be in the villa. She’s an aesthetics practitioner from Devon. She has an in with the show already, with her business clients including Lucinda Strafford and Jessy Potts.
A source told MailOnline: “Rose has gone through the audition process with ITV2 and is being considered either for the opening lineup or as a bombshell. Rose is friends with many former stars of the show so has a good idea what it’s like being in the villa and now she finally has the chance to experience it herself.”
Harry Cooksley
Every year, there has to be a footballer. Enter: Harry Cooksley. He’s a 30-year-old midfielder for Farnham Town. A source told The Sun: “Harry’s got the full package – a great, athletic bod and great chat. Love Island’s ladies love a footballer and The Surrey Zidane [apparently his nickname] will be sure to impress as he plays away”
Shakira Khan
Shakira Khan is apparently all set for an appearance in the villa. She’s 22, from Manchester and a model. Basically, the perfect Love Island combo.
A source told The Sun: “Shakira is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and will land a place in Love Island’s history books as a real beauty. Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell, but Shakira is in the mix. And viewers will be hoping she’s there to stay.”
Aaron Buckett
Aaron Buckett is apparently joining the cast of Love Island 2025. He’s a 6″5 personal trainer with a substantial online presence, usually posting workout videos or piccies from sunny holidays and parties.
“It’s a fact of life that girls go crazy for a tall lad, and Aaron is a man mountain. He’s got great chat too,” a source told The Sun. “Aaron is in the mix for this year’s cast, but execs are still finalising whether he’ll be in the opening line-up or as a tempting bombshell.”
Lucy Quinn
Lucy Quinn is a a 20-year-old makeup artist from Liverpool. She’s rumoured to not be an OG, but instead will be a bombshell ready to shake things up.
A source told MailOnline: “Lucy is single and ready to mingle. She can’t wait to enter the Love Island villa and is counting down the days until it becomes a reality. She’s fiery and doesn’t take any nonsense when it comes to dating but is equally looking for the man of her dreams, hopefully all will come true for her this summer.”
Michelle Roscoe
Love Island 2025 is apparently in talks with Michelle Roscoe, who is transgender. She is a recruitment adviser, and is from the UK but lives in Ibiza.
A source told The Sun: “Love Island is always looking to evolve and move with the times when it comes to its contestants. They have met with Michelle and spoken to her about whether Love Island would be the right show for her. She is absolutely gorgeous and an advocate for the trans community so she’d be an incredibly interesting contestant.”
Gabriella Bardsley
23-year-old Gabriella Bardsley is also rumoured, but is probably less likely, as she’s turned down the show before. Gabriella is 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.
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.
Kodie Murphy
@kodiemurphy02
Kodie is another face you may – but probably don’t – remember. He was a blink and you’ll miss it bombshell for Casa Amor during the 2023 series, but has now hinted he may be coming back. He briefly dated Amber Wise, but nothing came of it.
Now, he’s posted a heavy hint on TikTok. “POV Love Island made the call again,” he said in a video… at the airport. Ok? Do I believe him?
Will there be a celebrity cast member on Love Island 2025?
There might be a celeb bombshell in the series this year, like the was previously with Joey Essex. “In talks” is CBB and TOWIE cast member, Ella Rae Wise. According to The Sun, Love Island execs think she’s “the perfect celebrity” to shake up the villa this year.
A source close to Ella said: “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.”
