LOVE Island 2025 is coming to an end, with two old islanders returning to the fold in the penultimate week, before being booted off again — one of them for the second time this series.
With the drama continuing to simmer beneath the surface, we’re surely in for a heated conclusion to this year’s summer of love.

Who left Love Island?
On July 31, 2025, the night’s episode ended with a text revealing: “Islanders. The public have been voting for their favourite couple.
“The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island is…”
Helena and Blu were voted the least popular and told they would be leaving the villa immediately.
Helena Ford
31
Helena joined Love Island 2025 as OG islander, and her time on the show was packed with drama.
She initially coupled with Conor, but soon switched to Harry — then there was the love triangle involving herself, Shakira and Harry.
Alongside Blu, she was booted off the show on Thursday, July 31, having been voted the public’s least favourite remaining couple.
Billykiss Azeez
31
Billykiss was dumped from the villa after her fellow islanders decided to save Angel over her.
She said: “Obviously it’s sad for your journey to be cut short but I’m very happy with the experience I had.
“I made some great friendships and explored some connections, which unfortunately didn’t blossom into anything.
“Overall it was a very eventful experience.”
She left one day after her current flame Boris.
Boris Vidovic
31
The Casa Amor bombshell was kicked out alongside fellow least popular islander Emily.
Boris was in a couple with Billykiss upon his return from Casa Amor, but quickly found a spark with fellow bombshell Emma Munro.
Boris said: “Someone has to be dumped, but I’m a little bit sad that I was voted the least favourite.”
Emma Munro
31
Emma caused shockwaves during her time in the villa, with it being revealed that she was Harry Cooksley’s ex-girlfriend of five years!
While she found romance with other Islanders, it also seemed like there was a potential reunion on the cards for the ex flames, although that never came to fruition.
On her exit, Emma said: “I feel fine.
“I had a good run and I left with my love interest, so I think it was the best way to go.”
Harrison Solomon
31
The love triangle that gripped and concerned the nation was the ultimate cause for Harrison leaving the villa.
The 22-year-old decided to leave the villa after he was unable to choose between Toni and Lauren, leaving them both in tears.
As a result, Women’s Aid issued a statement condemning his behaviour and criticising the ITV reality show for perpetuating misogyny and sexism.
Lauren Wood
31
After the arrival of new bombshell Angel, the Islanders played the Couple of Sorts game, where they were asked to predict which three boys Angel would find the most attractive.
Conor was placed third, with Harry second and Ty coming out on top.
Ty then received a text telling him that he had been coupled up with Angel, leaving Lauren single and, therefore, dumped from the villa.
Lauren’s time in the villa was cut short, but managed to find herself tangled up in the love triangle with Toni and Harrison.
Lucy Quinn
31
While Lucy managed to outlast many of her fellow Casa Amor entrants.
But her time in the villa came to an end in yet another twist.
Lucy was dumped alongside new beau Tommy after Shakira and Ty decided they were the least compatible couple…
Tommy Bradley
31
Tommy was another OG boy brutally dumped from the villa after another couple believed him and Lucy to be the least compatible couple.
Reflecting on his Love Island journey, Tommy said he is “really proud” to have put himself outside of his comfort zone and is “grateful for the opportunity”.
The 22-year-old’s exit from the villa definitely made an impact, considering he was one of the last remaining original boys.
Ben Holbrough
31
Ben fell foul of the OG exodus, after leaving in a brutal twist.
The 23-year-old found himself dumped as one half of the latest least compatible couple.
He said in his exit interview: “A lot of the older guys in there spoke to me and helped me deal with situations better.
I’m definitely coming out of the Villa a better person.
“And of course, I’m leaving with Andrada, she’s a gorgeous girl and I’m looking forward to getting to know her on the outside.”
Andrada Pop
31
After Ben and Andrada received the fewest votes from the public, their time in the villa was over, and while Andrada’s time was short-lived, it didn’t come without its fireworks.
The Miss Bikini Ireland 2019 winner entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell and tempted Ben.
But just as she finished unpacking, the Irish beauty was sent packing.
At least she won’t have to worry about an airport transfer with her new private hire taxi driver beau.
The Casa Amor Fallen
Emily Moran
31
Emily was a pre-existing Love Islander before Casa Amor, but found herself single after Tommy’s head was turned.
Lucy caught his eye, and Emily did not manage to find a connection with anyone new, leaving her at risk of being dumped.
Reflecting on how it felt to be leaving the villa, Emily said: “I had the best time. I don’t feel sad about leaving, it was my time to go. I stayed true to myself. I wouldn’t change it for the world!”
Giorgio Russo
31
Giorgio didn’t have long in the villa and his decision to remain single after Casa Amor only backfired as he was then dumped from the Island.
He said: “I had the best time. I don’t feel sad about leaving, it was my time to go. I stayed true to myself. I wouldn’t change it for the world!”
Giorgio’s summer holidays did not end there as he immediately flew out to Switzerland to support Lioness sister Alessia in her bid for back-to-back Euro glory.
Rheo Parnell
31
Rheo had a connection with Harry in Casa Amor but he chose to recouple with Helena, which meant Rheo was single and therefore dumped.
Asked how it felt to be leaving the villa, Rheo said: “It feels bittersweet, I think I was led astray slightly by Harry. But who’s going to be shocked by that really, Harry’s going to be Harry! I don’t think anyone should trust him.”
Yas Broom
Yas didn’t last long in the villa after no one chose to recouple with her in Casa Amor.
The Manchester-based DJ and former X Factor contestant was another victim of the brutal Casa Amor.
“It feels a bit surreal,” she said when asked how it felt to leave the villa. “I feel like it definitely went really quick, I wish I had a bit longer in there. I made some great connections!”
Chris Middleton
31
Unfortunately for Chris, none of the girls chose to recouple with him.
He told ITV: “We all go in there looking for a spark and a connection and you know quite quickly if you’ve found that. While people were saying it was wide open, there were quite a few girls that were sticking with their original boys. Grateful for the experience.
“Met a great group of lads and spent time in the main villa so you can’t turn your nose up at that, I just wish it was for longer.”
Martin Enitan
Martin was the second Casa Amor boy to not be chosen to return to the main villa, and was dumped from the Island.
He said: “[I feel] gutted obviously but still grateful for the experience. Even if it didn’t work out, overall it was great to know everyone because they were mad lovely.”
Alima Gagigo
Fans were gutted by the exit of OG Alima, who was sent packing after failing to make a romantic connection with Remell.
As one of the originals, she failed to make it to Casa Amor, and meet a potential new connection.
Alima said upon her exit: “It’s a mix of emotions, I’ve been there since the start, so it’s bittersweet, but at the same time, I just can’t wait to wear no makeup for days and weeks now!”
31
Ryan Bannister
Having only just arrived in the villa, it’s safe to say Ryan’s dumping was slightly overshadowed by the exit of long-standing islander Alima.
Ryan entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Billykiss Azeez and set his sights on Toni Laites and Shakira, however he failed to turn heads and was dumped after just 48 hours.
Still, it appears the late arrival enjoyed his time in Majorca, saying: “Being in the villa and seeing it first-hand was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As short as it was, it was still amazing.”
Remell Mullins
31
Remell was victim to a dreaded public vote.
The public were tasked with choosing their favourite boy and girl in the villa, but in a brutal twist it turned out that the islanders with the lowest votes would be sent home.
Remell ended up being revealed as the man with the fewest votes, behind Ben and Harry.
Earlier in the week, Alima had ended things with Remell after she discovered he had repeatedly kissed bombshell Poppy while on the sleepover.
Karma is real…
Megan Clarke
Megan was another victim of the public vote which saw Remell leave the villa.
31
It emerged she had received the fewest votes when the viewers had been asked to pick their favourite boy and girl, with her receiving the least out of her, Shakira and Toni.
It had been a dramatic week after Megan built a connection with Conor, leading to the end of things with Tommy, with whom she had seemed to be in a secure couple.
After the bottom three were revealed to be her, Shakira and Toni, it was confirmed that she would be the one packing her bags.
But her exit was only temporary as she returned for the final week.
Shea Mannings
The exit of Shea was the biggest shock of the night.
After Helena, Dejon, Emily and Remell had all been chosen by the new bombshells to enter the sleepover villa, they were then told by Maya to choose if they wanted to stick in their current couple or recouple.
31
The former cabin crew hostess, Helena, was the only one who decided to recouple, choosing Lioness Alessia Russo’s bombshell brother, Giorgio.
The decision left Shea single, and after receiving a text telling the semi-professional footballer that his time was up, he knew he was not getting any extra time in the villa.
After leaving, the dad-of-one shared his thoughts on his relationship with Helena.
He said: “I think it was more of a friendship to be honest, so she was probably correct to make her decision.
“It was just a friend thing but we were going to explore it anyway.”
He added: “Obviously you never know, but as soon as I found out I was single, I kind of knew my time was up. I was just gutted.”
Caprice Alexandra
31
Caprice was one of two blonde bombshells to have entered the villa to shake up the couples.
However, the 26-year-old nursery owner was sent back to Romford after Dejon decided to stick with his partner Meg.
31
But after leaving the villa, Caprice did not hold back about the reason she left.
She said: “I expected it. From the beginning I felt like he knew what he was going to do.
“I think he’s playing a bit of a game though, but I expected it from him.”
Poppy Harrison
As the second of our blonde bombshells to enter the villa in recent days, Poppy chose to try and steal Remell.
31
She invited the influencer to the sleepover villa, but failed to win him over.
Instead Remell chose to stay coupled with Alima, leaving Poppy single.
After leaving the villa, Poppy was confused on why she had been dumped.
31
The bombshell said: “[I am] shocked and surprised.
“I feel like Remell perhaps didn’t go with his true feelings, he said less than 12 hours before on the truth or dare game that he’d recouple with me, and he wanted to take things further.”
Will Means
Will was yet another bombshell who made an early exit.
The Norfolk-born and bred fitness trainer and farmer chose to swoon Emily.
31
But while Will means well, he was no match for 25-year-old Irish rugby player Conor.
Emily chose to stick with Conor, leaving Will single.
Malisha Jordan
It had been a relatively calm week ahead of Wednesday’s night mass axing.
Before the four islanders were dumped, Malisha was the most recent singleton to leave the villa on June 18.
31
The 24-year-old teaching assistant was a late arrival to the villa.
She had tried to win the heart of Dejon, who decided to stay coupled with original beau Meg, leaving Malisha single.
She was not alone after Toni had also been left single in a dramatic recoupling.
However, the choice came down to 22-year-old Harrison Solomon to decide the girls’ fate.
Malisha’s time in the villa came to an end after Harrison decided to save Toni.
Blu Chegini
31
In probably the most savage scene on Love Island this year, Blu Chegini was dumped from the villa.
After Shea and Remell slow-mo walked their way into the hearts of the girls, only one managed to couple up as Alima picked Remell.
Blu was therefore left single alongside Shea and in a cruel twist, the pair had to decide which one of them should leave.
31
After the pair exchanged a war of words and were left decision-less, the choice fell to the group, who picked to keep newbie Shea.
But his exit was only temporary as he has returned for the final week — before being dumped AGAIN after being voted the least popular couple alongside Helena Ford.
Sophie Lee
On June 11, 2025, former fire-breather Sophie Lee was dumped in a brutal twist, making her the first islander to leave the villa.
31
The 29-year-old was evicted from the villa after newly-single Shakira Khan picked Harry Cooksley, sending Sophie home immediately.
The previous night, Shakira had found herself single after bombshell Toni Laites, 24, picked to couple up with Ben Holbrough, leaving Shakira to graft all with all the coupled-up boys.
Maya Jama returned to the villa, revealing the shock twist that the lads could nominate themselves to recouple with Shakira.
But partners were left stunned as Blu Chegini, Conor Phillips, and Harry Cooksley all stepped forward.
Shakira still struggled to decide, asking Maya if the girl would immediately be dumped, but eventually, Sophie was given her marching orders.
31
Who is still in the Love Island villa?
Love Island kicked off with 14 singletons looking to make waves in the villa.
