Love Island bosses promised plenty of twists and turns throughout series 12 (which also happens to be the show’s tenth anniversary) and boy, have they delivered so far.
From bombshells aplenty and a permanently open Hideaway to a Sleepover villa and some seriously brutal dumpings, Love Island 2025 has been carnage and chaos from the very start. And we’ve loved every minute, obvs.
It seems the show’s only going to get even messier too as the reported start date for Casa Amor has been revealed and it’s so close we can practically smell it.
According to The Sun, Casa Amor will kick off on Sunday 6 July. That’s just TWO days away.
No other information has been given about this year’s Casa yet, but the twist usually involves either the boys or girls being sent off to a second villa to spend a few days with five brand new bombshells before a second set of new bombshells are sent into the main villa.
That should be the case again this series, unless the producers have even more tricks up their sleeve. We’re not ruling anything out at this stage.
Of course, the bombshells are sent in to turn the heads of the Islanders and test their current connections, so things are going to get seriously explosive if past series are anything to go by.
Will Dejon Noel-Williams stay loyal to Meg Moore? Will Harry Cooksley have his head turned 180 AGAIN? Will the likes of Malisha Jordan, Megan Forte Clarke and Blu Chegini make a shock return? We’ll have answers to those questions very soon.
Speaking of Megan, she recently paid heat Towers a visit for a post-villa debrief and spilled some major tea. The Irish Islander let slip that she had a secret IRL connection with Conor Phillips that dates back four years.
‘So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on Instagram four years ago and I never followed him back,’ she explained.
‘But then since coming out, I've seen that he follows me on TikTok and he's actually commented on one of my TikToks. Again, I've not followed him back or even realised he commented on one.’
Megan added, ‘So yeah, it's nice that he's still trying four years later. It's worked out for me, I suppose.’
