Love Island Series 12 cast: What all 12 contestants are looking for in a dream islander
The 12th season of Love Island is back this month, making its debut on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm on Monday, June 9 - hot on the heels of the second series of Love Island All Stars which was broadcast earlier in the year.
Hosted by Maya Jama and back On the Spanish island of Mallorca, Series 12 marks a decade since the show first hit screens in 2015.
Since then it has been streamed more than a billion times and is regularly the most watched programme for those aged 16-34.
Scottish comedian Iain Stirling will once again be voicing as Islanders battle it out in the UK's biggest dating show.
Show chiefs promise viewers should 'get set for a summer full of twists and turns. From bombshell arrivals to surprise dumpings, Islanders in sun-drenched Mallorca must truly expect the unexpected.'
There's already been controversy, with Kyle Ashman dropped from the villa after reports emerged linking him with a violent incident.
And there's some Scottish interest this year, with 23-year-old Glaswegian wealth management client services executive Alima Gagigo taking part.
And, as well as the prospect of finding true love, there's also the small matter of the £50,000 prize for the last couple standing.
Here we discover what the 12 islanders are looking for in a love-match on the show.

Olivia Attwood hits out at the Kardashians in candid discussion about plastic surgery as she reveals the one procedure she wouldn't have
Olivia Attwood hit out at the Kardashians in candid discussion about plastic surgery on Saturday revealed the one procedure she wouldn't have. The TV personality, 34, who has always been open, claimed Kylie Jenner 's recent secret boob job admission was 'too little, too late' and said the famous family's 'bodies are not created in the gym.' Olivia has undergone a dramatic change throughout the years, swapping surgical enhancements for reductions, and the Love Island villa for hard-hitting documentaries on subjects as diverse as the online sex industry and cosmetic surgery. Aged 20, she paid £3,000 for a boob job that gave her 32E 'watermelons' then paid around £10,000 to have her old implants removed and new ones fitted. In 2023, Kylie, 27, finally admitted that she had a secret boob job when she was just 19, despite being economical with the truth for years over breast enhancement. This week, she shared the details about her procedure, including the size, profile and surgeon after a fan on TikTok asked. Sharing her thoughts Olivia told The Sun: 'Kylie came out and said about her boobs, and I was like: "I've been talking about my breasts for the past 10 years." I like the Kardashians, this is not me bashing them, but it's too little, too late for me.' She explained how the family should be more open about other procedures, which might be less obvious. The presenter continued: 'We know Kylie's breasts are fake. We knew she had lip fillers when she was selling those lip kits. What about talking about lipo and BBLs? Their bodies are not created in the gym.' Olivia explained how she thinks it's 'disingenuous' for celebrities to monetise off products such as weight loss plans having actually undergone surgery. She also admitted how her TV show had 'sobered her up to the reality of surgery' after seeing all the 'gruesome' details. Although claiming that she as a 'pancake bum', Olivia said: 'BBL is the only one I wouldn't do, because the risk is too much. It's one of the surgeries that has the highest revision rate.' The cosmetic procedure is used to enhance the appearance of the patient's buttocks by making them bigger, more rounded, or lifted. A standard BBL involves removing fat from the hips, abdomen, or back with liposuction before injecting it back into the buttocks. In an update this week about her breast surgery, Kylie shared: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! Garth Fisher!!! hope this helps lol.' Kylie shared the exact details of her boob job to a thrilled fan, two years after finally confessing to the procedure Kylie's plastic surgeon Dr. Garth Fisher is famed for being the man behind many of the Kardashian and Jenner family procedures. He's largely known for performing Kris Jenner's pinnacle facelift on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The board-certified surgeon also did Kourtney Kardashian's breast augmentation and removed a tumor from Khloe's face. He even gave a pre-transition Caitlyn Jenner a revision facelift, which was also featured on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Oasis fans set to break all-time booze records during sold-out Scots gigs
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OASIS fans could be set to break booze records at Scotland's largest stadium, industry experts claim. Up to 210,000 supporters are expected to descend on Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh for three sell-out shows at the beginning of August. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Oasis fans could smash alcohol sales records at Murrayfield Stadium Credit: Alamy 3 The Gallagher brothers are returning to Edinburgh as part of their box office UK tour Credit: Getty 3 Oasis announced their shock reunion last August Credit: PA And organisers expect 'medium to high intoxication' among a 'substantial amount of older fans', according to secret planning documents. The 70,000 fans at each show would need to neck three pints each to eclipse previous sales. And DF Concerts expect a 'spirited audience' with 'medium to high intoxication' at the Oasis gig. Figures suggest fans could guzzle more than 120,000 drinks each night, based to historic sales figures from other mega concerts at the venue. A breakdown shows beer has been particularly popular with rock fans while pop-loving punters prefer cider and wine. Entertainment guru Donald MacLeod, who helped plan Oasis' last Scottish gigs 16 years ago, said: 'Given the hospitality sector has been so brutalised by councils and government in the past few years, this is going to be a boom for many bars, pubs and restaurants in the Edinburgh area. 'I think it's going to be supersonic when they play in Edinburgh. And I hope they set a new record for alcohol sales. 'Alcohol gets the better of a few people. But I think we have to 'roll with it' and enjoy it. It's not going to be a 'champagne supernova' as such, fans are more likely to drink beer. 'Cigarettes And Alcohol is one of their greatest songs. Whilst the fans may have ditched the cigarettes, there's still plenty of alcohol there to be drunk - as long as they do it safely.' Mr MacLeod, who has an MBE for services in music and charity, promoted Oasis gigs in 2000 and 2009 together with Regular Music. Noel Gallagher looks stony-faced as he makes lonely Tube journey to Oasis rehearsals – but Liam's entrance is chaotic He added: 'I think almost everybody there will have a beer for the occasion of Oasis getting back together. It's a cause of celebration. 'But there's no way that some of these fans will be able to drink as much as they did in 2009. Things have moved on.' Papers obtained by the Scottish Sun under FOI laws show an estimated 55,000 Robbie Williams fans were expected to down 120,000 drinks at the end of May. Punters at the gig coughed up between £6 to £8 for a pint and between £8 to £12 for a glass of wine. Almost a third were sales of lager, another third cider, with the rest made up of wine, gin and tonic, and soft drinks. The former Take That singer's previous gig in June 2017 saw 48,608 people attend with 108,728 drinks sold. The Rolling Stones' gig in June 2018 saw 52,583 fans down a whopping 107,005 drinks. Council blasted for fans 'insult' by Gordon Tait MURRAYFIELD locals have blasted council chiefs for branding Oasis fans as 'fat, old, drunk and lairy'. Residents said it was insulting to 210,000 revellers expected to flock to Edinburgh in August. We previously told how officials labelled them as rowdy "middle-aged men" who "take up more room" and drink to "medium to high intoxication". Maureen McSherry, 63, of fully-booked Murrayfield Hotel, said: "The number of people and atmosphere will be good for business. What they said is a very big generalisation." Elinor Cronin, 39, of nearby Roseburn Bar, said: "The council is insulting. A minority may be rowdy, most won't be." Beyonce's 52,568 fans enjoyed 105,396 drinks at her concert in May 2023, back in 2019, 51,589 Spice Girls bought 94,701 drinks. Documents said there had been few arrests at previous Gallagher brothers gigs, but fears were raised about clashes with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A paper noted 'concern about crowds of Oasis on weekends as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band.' It added: 'Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend.' Emails show council chiefs have also been in contact with other major cities hosting Oasis gigs - including Cardiff, Manchester and Dublin - in a bid to 'share ideas' and 'best practice for the event.' The SRU and Murrayfield Experience were approached for comment.
