This year’s Love Island has been so chaotic that it’s sometimes been hard to keep up with who’s actually still in the villa.
Well, one boy who’s been there from the very start and is still holding in there despite not forming a strong connection with any of the girls is Love Island 2025 OG Ben Holbrough.
Ben’s been involved in his fair share of the drama following his failed relationships with Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pettet and even received three pies in the face during the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge for how he’s spoken to some of his fellow Islanders.
