Series chronology |
The twelfth series of Love Island began broadcasting on 9 June 2025 on ITV2, following a one-off special episode, Love Island: A Decade of Love, which aired a week prior, commemorating the show's 10th anniversary. Maya Jama returned to present the series, as well its spin-off Love Island: Aftersun , whilst Iain Stirling again returned as narrator.
On 4 August 2025, the series was won by Cach Mercer and Toni Laites, who received 33.5% of the public vote, with Harry Cooksley and Shakira Khan finishing as the runners-up. [1] [2]
Following the second series of the spin-off Love Island: All Stars , which aired between January and February 2025, it was confirmed that the twelfth series of Love Island would air later in the year. [3] [4] Alongside confirmation of the series, ITV announced that a one-off special episode Love Island: A Decade of Love, featuring former contestants reflecting on their time in the villa, would air a week prior to the series launch to commemorate the programme's 10th anniversary. [5] [6] Applications for the show opened whilst the eleventh series was airing the previous year. [7] [8] The series began on 9 June 2025 and was again being filmed in Mallorca. [9] [10]
The first teaser for the series aired in May 2025, and featured a printer with the Love Island logo on, printing out a piece of paper reading "Attn: Love Island is coming soon. Attendance is mandatory. Signed, Maya x CEO of Love" [sic]. [11] [12] A further full-length trailer aired later that month, which featured host Maya Jama and a team of production members coming up with ideas for the new series in a Love Island-themed boardroom, Jama asks the team for "something bigger and bolder", and is presented with comical answers including "moving the show to the Isle of Wight", turning it into a musical, and rebranding to " Love Island on Ice ." Unimpressed by their ideas, Jama stands and teases "more drama, more bombshells, more breakups, more makeups [...] and more twists than ever." [13] [14]
The original islanders for the twelfth series were announced on 3 June 2025. [15] [16] Kyle Ashman, a 23-year-old water operative from Stafford, was initially announced for the series, however he was removed from the cast due to a legal issue that came to light prior to entering the villa. [17] The following day, he was replaced by 25-year-old professional rugby player Conor Phillips from Limerick, who entered the villa in his place. [18] A day before the launch, ITV confirmed 24-year-old Las Vegas Pool Cabana server Toni Laites from Connecticut, United States as the first "bombshell" of the series. [19]

The couples were chosen shortly after the islanders entered the villa. The girls were given the each of the boys' dating profiles listed on podiums which featured their name, age, height and a quote from them, and had to decide their couple by standing next to the podium of their choice based solely on their profiles prior to meeting them face-to-face.
