Every year Love Island producers mix things right up by unleashing 12 new bombshells on the OG Islanders for Casa Amor and every year it causes CHAOS.

Love Island 2025’s Casa was no exception, with what feels like more bombshells than ever being brought back to the main villa and one of those lucky Islanders was Lauren Wood, who recoupled with Harrison Solomon.

Prior to entering the villa, Lauren admitted her ‘game plan’ was to ‘win Harrison over’ and it clearly worked. Let’s get to know her a bit better, shall we?

What happened when Lauren Wood was on Love Island?

Lauren entered Casa Amor with her eyes set firmly on Harrison and she managed to turn his head from Toni Laites as he chose her to go back to the main villa with him.

However, it was far from smooth sailing for Lauren as even though Harrison brought her back and Toni coupled up with Cach Mercer, there was still something between the former couple.

From Movie Night, where Harrison's recent flirty chats with Toni were aired, to being voted the least compatible couple, it was an uphill struggle for Lauren and her Love Island bae. It didn't help that Harrison simply could not decide who he wanted to be with and would spend of his day with Lauren and the other chatting away to Toni.

It went from bad to worse for Lauren, after she decided to have sex with Harrison he was still flirting with Toni and despite the moments on intimacy between Lauren and Harrison he had secret terrace rendezvous with Toni where he essentially asked her to pick him in the next recoupling.

Toni was unaware of what has occurred between Harrison and Lauren and did what he had hinted at, picked Harrison at the next fire pit meeting, leaving Lauren devastated and confused. She ended up in a couple with Ty Isherwood but it wasn't long before Harrison went crawling back to her.

After telling Toni he 'missed Lauren,' she decided to take a step back (Toni, that is) to allow Harrison to neck on with the Casa Amor bombshell. However, a few days later Angel Swift arrived and chose Ty to date which left Lauren single and dumped from the villa.

After a desperate conversation with Harrison where she begged him to leave with her, Lauren was booted off the dating show. Just a day later, Harrison quit Love Island in order to build a relationship with Lauren out of the villa.
