Love Island 2025: Who are the new bombshells to join the cast?

Love Island 2025 is off to a very dramatic start. Just two episodes in and islanders have already been subject to a firepit and bombshells.

The reality show returned to our screens on Monday night (June 9) and according to ITV, drew an audience of 1.4 million across all devices.

It will run for eight weeks, hosted once again by Maya Jama, and will air every night of the week except for Sunday.

As usual, the season began with 12 singles, however this year one contestant dropped out for personal reasons before the show started. This meant that an uneven group of 11 lads and ladies touched down at the villa on night one.

But as the islanders prepared for one of their day-ones to be sent home, two bombshells were sent in. So who are the new boys?

Joining the lineup of bevvy of men and women for a summer of fun in tonight’s episode is Shea and Remell.

Shea is a 25-year-old Scaffolder from Bristol who is ready to “look for something more serious”.

When describing the type of woman he wants to meet he said “bubbly”, with a “nice personality”.

Shea is also a father, and said he will be taking his soon into consideration when it comes to coupling up.

24-year-old Remell is also looking for a “bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun girl”.

The self-improvement content creator from Essex also loves a nice smile, but gets bored easily and says he “needs someone to stimulate” him mentally.

The 24-year-old worked as a Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server before agreeing to enter the show.

Toni, from Connecticut in the US, has said she wants to try dating a British man as they are "more polite, with better manners", and "all Americans love a good accent".

She has said that her biggest ick is people with "bad hygiene", and that she's looking for someone with "darker hair" and a "clean hair cut", who is "definitely muscular but not too muscular" and is "super fit".

The 25-year-old rugby player from Limerick, Ireland has said he's looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves".

He said of his “type”: "Ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman."

On his turn-offs, he added: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing."

Blu is a 26-year-old construction project manager from London, who has been announced as one of the faces to enter the villa this summer.

Speaking about what he's looking for in a partner, he said: "Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way."

The 22-year-old from Burnley is in marketing and has said she is looking for “The one”.

Asked about what she's looking for in a partner, she wants "someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny".

The 30-year-old from Guildford is a gold trader, semi professional footballer and model who says his claim to fame is that he looks like Arsenal and England star Declan Rice.

He explained: "When he does a shoot, any body close-ups will actually be me. You’ll never see my face, but you’ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing."

Talking about what he's looking for in a partner, he said: "A girl 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."

Megan from Southampton is a musical theatre performer and works as an energy broker.

Talking about what she wants in a partner, she said: "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."

Helena, 29, is from London and is friends with 2018 cast member Zara McDermott.

She said: "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."

The 23-year-old from Scotland works as a wealth management client services executive.

She describes herself as a "good flirt" and has a go-to tactic when trying to flirt with men.

She explained: "I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly, so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number.”

Tommy is a 22-year-old landscape gardener who doesn’t want someone who “takes themselves too seriously”.

He explained he wants: "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."

Dejon is a 26-year-old personal trainer from London and his dad is known by many as a former professional footballer Gifton Noel-Williams, who played for the likes of Watford, Burnley and Stoke.

Talking about what he's looking for in a partner, he said "someone who is beautiful on the inside and out".

With the arrival of the bombshells, one islander was also sent home. Sophie Lee is the first to be dumped from the island this season.

Sophie is a 29-year-old from Manchester who works motivating people after a traumatic incident in her own life.

Sophie used to work as a fire breather but suffered an accident that left her with severe burns.

She has since written a book after the incident “In My Skin’ and has worked with The Katie Piper Foundation to raise awareness for fellow burn survivors.

Sophie described herself as the "CEO of empowerment". She said: "I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self."
