The Love Island producers sure know how to keep us on our toes.

Series 12 got off to a wild start - Sophie Lee was dumped after 24 hours, Toni Laites made Love Island history as the first ever American in the UK villa and then producers sent in three new bombshells.

One of those bombshells was Malisha Jordan who didn't waste any time ruffling Meg Moore's feathers, so here's your need to know on the 2025 Islander.

Who did Malisha Jordan couple up with on Love Island?

Despite being in the villa for just over a week (eight days to be precise), Malisha didn't couple up with anyone.

What happened when Malisha Jordan was on Love Island?

Malisha walked into the villa alongside Emily Moran and Yasmin Pettet and she instantly took a liking to Dejon Noel-Williams. Despite flirting for days, having chats on the terrace (that Meg interrupted) and opening up about loving Tape nightclub, Dejon stayed coupled up with Meg.

As a result, poor Malisha was sent packing but Dejon did leave her with a cheeky comment that viewers didn't see on TV.

Why did Malisha Jordan and Meg Moore argue over Tape?

When Malisha was chatting to Dejon on their date they discussed going to the nightclub Tape (it's in Mayfair fyi, so boujee AF) and Meg was less than impressed. In fact, while chatting to the other Islanders, Meg said, 'I said where do you go out partying? He said Tape. I said shock, of course you're a Tape boy in Mayfair.

'What does she do? F--king stand in Mayfair and go Tape every weekend? Boring!'

Meg was unaware that Malisha had overheard and the latter replied and said, 'Sorry, what did you say babe?'

Meg then gave Malisha a watered down version of what she'd said (leaving out the 'f--king stand in Mayfair' and 'boring' comment) before adding, 'I'll say it with my chest.'

Meg didn't say it with her chest because she left out half the comment (lol) and after another row, Malisha was left in tears.

The following day, Meg and Malisha put all the drama behind them and during an exclusive interview with heatworld, the bombshell admitted they 'cleared things up'.

'No bad blood with her. I don't think we will be friends. Ever,' she told us.

'I didn't get to spend a lot of time with Meg but from the chats that we had in the dressing room, because we sat next to each other, she is a lovely girl.'

Safe to say we don't think these two will be besties any time soon... Who knew a Mayfair nightclub would cause such a stir, ey?

What's Malisha Jordan's bad habit?

Before stepping into the villa, Malisha told producers her bad habit and we could already tell she was going to struggle in the villa.

Opening up she admitted, 'I’m really bad in the morning. Don’t wake me up. Everyone, just don’t speak to me, I need five minutes.'

Err, does she know what TV show she applied for?

The Love Island stars wear sunglasses first thing in the morning because the lights are turned on without any warning and it's not long before all the Islanders are chatting and getting into each other's beds before they've even brushed their teeth.

What is Malisha Jordan's type?

Speaking to the producers, she admitted, '[I'd like to couple up with] a tall, dark, handsome man. He has to be very tall. I’m 5ft7/ 5ft8. I want to be able to wear heels and feel feminine.

'He has to be funny, but not too funny; I have to be the funniest. I want someone that’s caring and a bit loving, but then I like someone that can give me a bit of rude banter. I like to be a bit cheeky.'

As for green flags?

'I like nice teeth. I’ve said it already, but I really like someone funny. Someone who’s calm, but not too nonchalant,' she admitted.

'Someone that’s really loving and is all about me. They need to know what they want. I like a determined man who is like, "I want you and I’m coming for you."'
