The new series of Love Island is upon us and we can’t wait to see all of the cracking on, coupling up and, of course, drama.
Maya Jama is set to welcome 12 new Islanders into the Love Island 2025 villa and we’re sure it won’t be long before we’re seeing some heated conversations around the fire pit – especially as one of the contestants has branded themselves ‘a bit of a sh*t stirrer’.
Speaking ahead of his arrival into the villa, Conor Phillips admitted, ‘I suppose I'm a bit of a shit stirrer, from being in rugby teams and being in big environments with big personalities, macho guys, I suppose that's a lot of what goes on and that kind of trickles into your everyday life when I'm with my friends who aren't on the rugby team and stuff.’
It seems it’s all in good fun though as he added, ‘Who doesn't like just keeping everyone entertained?’
