Love Island 2025 Cast Includes Maura Higgins Lookalike, Premieres June 9

The 2025 season of Love Island, set to premiere on June 9 and hosted by Maya Jama, features a fresh lineup including Megan Forte Clarke, a 24-year-old Irish actress and pantomime star who is drawing attention as a Maura Higgins lookalike. Megan, known for her role as one of the Ugly Sisters in Cinderella and her strong social media presence, has described herself as a 'modern day Bridget Jones,' highlighting her comedic charm and unlucky streak in love, which producers believe makes her a perfect fit for the villa. She has a performing arts background from The Brighton Academy and a notable TikTok following, and is expected to bring drama and entertainment reminiscent of Maura Higgins’ impact on the show. Alongside Megan, other new contestants include a former fire breather and fitness enthusiast Tommy Bradley, promising diverse personalities and dynamics for the upcoming series. ITV has yet to confirm the full cast lineup but is expected to do so shortly as anticipation builds. The show is anticipated to deliver its usual mix of romance, drama, and twists under the Spanish sun.
