What the cast of Love Island 2025 are looking for in a partner, ranked by their cringe show bios

Can we start a petition to ban the word “cute” when describing adult human beings?


Love Island 2025 is now just DAYS away, and while most of us are super excited to kick off summer with more reality TV chaos, this year’s bios are a little lacklustre.

Love Island season 12 is set to begin on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday, 9th June at 9 pm, with Maya Jama returning as host for the eight weeks of TV drama. This year’s crop has already been revealed, and though one person in particular has already been kicked from the Mallorca villa, the rest of the cast are currently sunning it up.

They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but I’ve never heard of don’t judge a person by their Love Island bio – so here we go.

“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’s Love Island bio reads.

She’s not even on our TV screens yet, but Sophie is already shaping up to be my favourite. Her bio paints her as someone who prioritises connection over physical attraction, and her awareness of red flags suggests she won’t be falling for a quick-witted f*ckboy anytime soon.

Construction Project Manager Blu is a refreshing take on a show that largely platforms people looking for fame or quick flames, with his bio reading: “Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way.”

Tommy

Tommy’s official Love Island bio 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.”

The fact that he didn’t mention physical looks is already a win, and I don’t want to jinx it, but Tommy seems sweet. The “I don’t know if that’s asking too much” could be considered a dash “pick me” behaviour, but we move.

Helena

We love a woman who knows precisely what she wants, and Helena’s bio is perhaps the most specific of all. Her only real demand is being Northern or funny, and the fact that she had the balls to ice out half of the country deserves applause.

“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,” her bio reads.

Megan

Megan seems like a versatile queen through and through, not particularly picky about her man besides liking someone who is a “bit pasty” like Timothée Chalamet. Jokes aside, I completely understand what she means; she wants that “I could be a Victorian era chimney sweep” vibe.

“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,” she explained.

Payroll specialist Meg’s Love Island bio reads: “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.”

Honestly, I’m just a little bored with the height angle. Unless you’re a six-foot-five giant who loves wearing 6-inch heels, I don’t think you really need someone to be towering over you. Sure, we all love tall men, but what if producers decided to fill the villa with short kings? What are you gonna do then, Meg?

Shakira

Before going into the Love Island villa, Shakira fully asked ChatGPT to write her bio: “Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny.”

It tells me diddly squat about her besides her love of really generic personality terms like charming and witty.

Alima

As per ITV’s press pack, Alima’s Love Island 2025 bio 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.”

I might be biased, but I just don’t trust someone who is looking for the Disney Prince vibe. Half of those men were kissing sleeping women or marrying a fish girl who didn’t speak, and even from an aesthetic standpoint, most Disney princes look like stock images of handsome guys. Not you, Flynn Rider, never you.

Ben

We are now entering the most red of red flags, with Ben’s 2025 Love Island bio reading: “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.”

Besides the overuse of the word good, Ben’s bio just screams looks over personality. Also, what is a cute smile, and why does it mean you want to spend “all day, every day” with that person?

Harry

“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 in his entry line.

It’s understood in 2025 that the “girl next door” is just a metaphor for what is traditionally expected of a woman: Being sweet, quiet, and subservient. He really hammered home his point with “I like a really sweet girl.”

Kyle

Another AI-written show bio, Kyle is clearly not a man of many words because his bio is literally just “Someone that’s fun, confident and just themselves.” It’s proboably a good thing we don’t get to know him because he’s already been kicked out of the villa.

Dejon

Dejon undoubtedly has the worst Love Island bio of 2025, saying: “Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy.”

Three out of five of his requirements are basically the same thing – being fit af – and I don’t even know where to begin with someone being “healthy”. I have to assume ITV producers are not casting someone with Zika or necrotising fasciitis, which leads me to believe he wants someone skinny – which he was always going to get on Love Island anyway.
