It feels like just the other day we were obsessed with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard vs Elma Pazar and Sammy Root's infamous feud in the Love Island villa but it's almost that time again.
And nope we're not talking about series three of All Stars, we are in fact talking about Love Island 2025 - aka the civilian version.
In just a matter of weeks, a whole bunch of Islanders will be strutting into that villa hoping to bag brand deals, hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers and maybe even the love of their life - in that order too.

So ahead of series 12, we've had a deep dive into all things villa - including our predicted start date, who's hosting and cast rumours...
Who's rumoured for Love Island 2025?
The rumour mill has already started and Love Island bosses have reportedly been in talks with transgender recruitment adviser Michelle Roscoe who already has 23k followers on Instagram.
A source told The Sun, 'Love Island are always looking to evolve and move with the times when it comes to their contestants. They have met with Michelle and spoken to her about whether Love Island would be the right show for her.
'She is absolutely gorgeous and an advocate for the trans community so she’d be an incredibly interesting contestant.'
When will Love Island 2025 start?
Judging by the past three summer series, Love Island usually begins on the first Monday in June so we reckon series 12 will air on Monday 2 June 2025.
Who is hosting Love Island 2025?
The one, the only - Maya Jama of course.
Before All Stars series two aired, there were rumours that Maya had quit the show but she shut them down ASAP and said on her Instagram Story, 'I will be presenting Love Island next year and have no plans to leave right now.
'I filmed promo a couple of days ago actually. Fake news is fake news-ing as usual.'

Phew.
And while Maya will pop into the villa for dumpings and host Aftersun, Iain Stirling will continue to make us LOL while narrating the show.
Who was on Love Island 2024?
Who wasn't?
Joey bloomin Essex was the first bombshell of the series and let's just say, that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the show.

Sam Taylor was brutally dumped after 48 hours, producers introduced the sleepover villa where Joey and Grace Jackson wasted no time snogging in the pool and Diamante Laiva came to blows with Matilda Draper at that dramatic Casa Amor recoupling.
Oh, and there was the infamous 'secret mission', Uma Jammeh quit the villa for Wil Anderson and Mimii Tafara and Josh Oyinsan became the first Black couple to win the show.
