The Love Island bosses have managed to keep a lot under wraps for the new series - we're hoping because it's going to be top tier - but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from spinning out of control.

The latest person apparently heading into the Love Island 2025 villa is FITLORD Harry Cooksley who's a footballer.

We don't know much about football (no surprises there) but he's a midfielder (whatever the heck that means) for Farnham Town and he's 30 years old.

The rumoured Islander apparently has 'the full package' with a source saying, '[He's got] a great, athletic bod and great chat.

'Love Island’s ladies love a footballer and The Surrey Zidane will be sure to impress as he plays away.'

They added to The Sun, 'Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell.'

Well, if Harry is anything like former footballers turned Islanders Tom Clare, Scott van-der-Sluis, Tyrique Hyde and Ronnie Vint - then we reckon he'll do fab in the villa.

ITV bosses are yet to confirm the official line-up but as well as Harry, we've got six foot five inches Aaron Buckett, make-up artist Lucy Quinn, model Shakira Khan and influencer Sophie Lee (who dated ex-Islander Ouzy See) who have all been rumoured for series 12.

And Maya Jama has teased what's ahead for the new series and it sounds JUICY. In a teaser for series 12, she says, 'Right, this year's Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder...

'This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more make-ups. I want more twists than ever.'

And Love Island producers have also teased, 'To the hottie this may concern, as per the last 11 Series, we’re staying loyal to the entertainment.

'Moving forward, we'll be levelling up on the twists. The stakeholders are aligned, the Islanders will be laying it on Factor 50, and we’re on track to hit our KPI on drama.

'It’s time to crack on and deliver serious results. Let’s circle back soon. Warmest wishes x.'
