Some Love Island contestants just can’t catch a break inside the villa no matter how hard they try to find a connection. Just ask Love Island 2025’s Giorgio Russo, who remains single after Casa Amor despite entering the second villa free as a bird as he was in a friendship couple with Billykiss Azeez.

While Billykiss has recoupled with Boris Vidović, Giorgio spent a lot of time snogging Yaz Broom in Casa but decided not to bring her back to the main villa as he didn’t feel a romantic spark.

We’re not sure how much longer Gio will remain in the villa, so here’s everything you need to know about him…

Before entering the villa, 'family-oriented' Giorgio discussed his green flags, telling Love Island bosses, 'My sister plays pro football, so being interested in sport, they don’t have to know football or understand it, but if they can show some sort of interest because it is such a prominent thing in our family. It would be hard if they hated it. Other green flags are having a nice family, I’m sick of being the 7th wheel in my own family.'

Giorgio invited Helena Ford to spend a couple of days with him at the Sleepover villa and they coupled up, with Helena bringing him back to the main villa.
