We were stunned when two weeks before the Love Island final, the series 12 producers decided to chuck in another bombshell - Angel Swift.

To be fair, last minute bombshells usually do well - Greg O'Shea and Josh Oyinsan we're looking at you. Those boys were only in the villa for two weeks before bagging £25k. Yes, they were with Amber Gill and Mimii Tafara and that's definitely why they won but still, it was definitely worth it in the end.

So, here's what you need to know about Love Island 2025's Angel...

What is Angel Swift's real name?

Angel's real name is Angelique. We were reminded of this when all the ex Islanders returned to the villa and Giorgio Russo - who knew Angel pre villa - randomly said her full name.

How old is Angel Swift?

Angel's 26 years old. Her birthday is in February.

Who did Angel Swift have her eye on before entering the villa?

There was only one man Angel had her eyes on and that was Casa Amor bombshell Ty Isherwood.

'I’d like to get to know Ty and see what he’s about,' she told producers.

As for her usual type on paper?

'The classic tall, dark and handsome. Muscles… I love a good body. Nice smile. Someone that makes me laugh,' she went on to say.

'Someone that’s family orientated. Someone that’s very needy for me so we can build that close connection.'

Why did Angel Swift go on Love Island?

'To find the one,' she told producers.

'It’s an amazing opportunity to make new connections and have new experiences.

'I’m ready to get into a relationship as I’ve been single for a year, so ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love.'

What happened when Angel Swift was on Love Island?

Despite only being in the villa for two weeks, Angel still managed to ruffle a few feathers - mainly Helena Ford's because Harry Cooksley didn't waste any time flirting with her. Angel shut it down fairly quickly though because she was focused on Ty.

Blu Chegini also claimed that he could have turned Angel's head but during the last dumping of the series she made it clear, there was no chance. LOL.

Angel may have been the last person to enter the villa but she managed to make it all the way to the final and came fourth with Ty - they had 18.3 per cent of the votes.

Are Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood still together?

They sure are. It would be wild if they had split because the final was only a few weeks ago but as of August 2025, they're still loved up.

Posting about her villa experience, Angel wrote on Instagram, 'Wow... what a crazy few weeks it’s been. I just want to say the biggest thank you to every single one of you who’s shown me love and support while I was in the villa.

'This experience has been completely surreal. I’ve made friendships that I know will last a lifetime as well as, meeting my @tyishi98 who makes me the feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I feel so lucky to have shared this journey with such amazing people.'

She added, 'I’m so excited for what the future holds and I can’t wait to take you all along on this journey with me.'

What is Angel Swift's job?

As well as now being a reality TV star, Angel is an aesthetics practitioner, salon owner and influencer. Before the villa she had 119k Instagram followers.

Where is Angel Swift from?

Angel's from Maidstone.

Who is Angel Swift friends with?

As soon as it came to light that Angel was heading into the villa, Love Island 2024's Matilda Draper wasted no time in congratulating her pal.

'Here she is. Eek. Smash it crazy gal,' she wrote on her Instagram Story.

It appears that Angel's pals with a few of the other Love Island gals too because under her announcement photo, Samantha Kenny wrote, 'Now THAT is a bombshelllllll yes girl. Never seen a body like it.'

Jess White said, 'OMG YES OUR GIRL ❤️❤️❤️ they aren’t ready.'

Harriett Blackmore commented, 'CAN'T WAIT. GO SHINE.'

And Lolly Hart added, 'Omg yesssss girly @angeliqueswift unreal bombshell 😍😍👏👏.'
