Controversial opinion alert: we don't think there's one Love Island couple that should win the show this year. Sorry.
Yeah, you read that correct; we just think it's so samey-samey, you know? And let's be honest, whichever couple ends up winning will probably end up invoking the ancient and sacred art of Instagram story statement writing to announce their split in September anyway. Seriously, there's a pattern.
Instead, we think show bosses should consider just giving the Love Island 2025 crown to Toni Laites (whether she's found a man in there or not) right now because, well, actually, we've made a list...
-
She's loyal af
-
She says it how it is
-
There's no bullish*t with her
-
She calls the boys out on all their sh*t
-
Her comebacks are an art form
-
Her face card is forever top notch
-
The fashion is endlessly giving
-
Her mum's TikToks are savage and iconic
We'd then be cool with producers giving Yasmin Pettet second place and bringing back Alima Gagigo to give her the third place prize.
We know that's not how it works, pipe down; our point is merely that bombshell Toni is an icon of icons and she's undoubtedly a huge part of the reason Love Island 2025 is one of the best series of LI we've had in years.

'What I hope people see from me being on Love Island is that not all illnesses are visible. It doesn’t have to hold you back, you can travel etc…I live my life day-to-day like anyone else.'
