Then and now: Old photos of the Love Island 2026 cast show who’s changed the most
Jasmine has always been a baddie
We’ve got to know the 2026 Love Island cast pretty well inside the villa by now, but how much have they changed over the years? A TikTok account called @dfkmuk has dug out some old photos of the Islanders from the depths of the internet, which show their massive transformations. Some of them are actually unrecognisable, while others look exactly the same years on. So, here’s a look at the Islanders, then and now.

Awww, how adorable was Mica as a teenager! You can totally tell it’s her.

Ellie has probably changed the most. She used to have red hair for a start, and she looks so different without that deep tan.

Priya has gone for a more natural look in recent years with less makeup and honestly, it suits her so much. She’s a natural beauty!

Fitzy was rocking the 2010s Bieber hair at school. Funnily enough, he still pretends to be the singer on his TikTok now. Why have they aged the same?
Simba

Simba hasn’t changed that much to be fair, apart from letting his hair grow a bit longer. He was always a stunner.

Lola hasn’t changed a bit either. Sean is one lucky guy.

Of course Jasmine was that girl who had purple dip-dyed hair in school. She’s always been a baddie.
