When Love Island OG Alima Gagigo got dumped from the Love Island 2025 villa alongside Ryan Bannister we almost went on strike here at heatworld. Over Alima, not Ryan – no shade to Ryan, but he was in there for three seconds and got about as much airtime as Casa Amor's Chris Middleton. Who? Exactly.
Alima was giving serious main character energy from day dot and to face the axe in such a savage way not even halfway through the series, well, it's unforgivable, frankly. And all because Conor Philips chose to couple up with Billykiss Azeez, only to change his mind three seconds later.
And then change his mind again after that.
And again after that.
Whatever. We can already hear All Stars calling for Alima.

Alima Gagigo's Love Island 2025 journey...
Alima was one of the first six girls to enter the Love Island 2025 villa. She initially coupled with Blu Chegini, but the connection ended quickly after Blu Chegini bluntly said she was not his type. After this, Alima coupled up with bombshell Remell, and although they seemed to get along initially, Remell was later dumped from the Island following his controversial connection with Poppy Harrison. Alima then found herself in a friendship couple with Conor, while exploring a flirty relationship with Ben Holbrough. Sadly, she was dumped from the Island before they could couple up, following Conor's decision to couple up with Billykiss, leaving Alima single.

In her exit interview, Alima spoke out about fellow OG Ben, who was just getting to know in the final days of her Love Island journey. She said, 'I think Ben is a very misunderstood guy,’ she declared, ‘he doesn’t express himself in the best way sometimes.’ Read more here.
