The moment the Love Island girls had been waiting for finally came last night (Monday 7 July) when the six Casa Amor boys entered the Love Island 2025 villa and immediately began trying to turn heads.
Among the bombshell boys are Slovenian model Boris Vidović and professional dancer Cacherel Mirjah Mercer, as well as northern lad Ty Isherwood – who has already revealed he’s got his eyes on Shakira Khan.
And it turns out Ty had a connection to Love Island before he even stepped through those villa doors as he’s related to a bombshell from a previous series.
Love Island 2022 Casa Amor girlie Cheyanne Kerr, who famously had a fling with Jacques O’Neill during her time on the show, has revealed that she’s Ty’s cousin. What a small world, eh?
Cheyanne broke the news on TikTok ahead of Ty’s debut when she shared a video with the caption, ‘POV: your cousin just walked into the villa 🤩🤩🤩.’
She added, ‘I can’t wait for tomorrow night!!!! @tyishi98.’
Before entering the villa, Ty made it clear that he’s interested in Shakira and admitted, ‘I’ve typically dated brunettes, tanned, nice teeth with a nice smile.’
Let’s find out more about him, shall we?

Which Love Island girls is Ty Isherwood interested in?
Prior to entering the villa, Ty revealed, 'I’ve got my eyes on Shakira - she needs a northern lad in there, our personalities would be the most matched I think.'
