Love Island Bingo

Love Island Bingo

Although not everybody’s cup of tea, this saucy reality show is immensely popular in the UK and regularly pulls in more than 2.5 million viewers. Each series has included its fair share of ‘OMG’ moments (see below) and no doubt the next series will be no different.

You can pretty much guarantee loads of cliches and platitudes, and highlights will no doubt include ‘top bants’ between contestants, not to mention plenty of ‘mugging off’, ‘not going to lie’ and ‘unreal’ moments.

Love Island comes in two flavours – regular and All Stars. The latter, which ran in January and February 2024 and again early in 2025, is particularly spicy because it sees fan favourites from previous series of Love Island return for another chance at love (and money, of course). The first episode of All Stars was seen by more than 3.4 million people.  All Stars will be back for a third series in early 2026, extended to run for 6 weeks not 5 – see you then!

Following the success of All Stars, the regular series needed to step up with a fresh gimmick and it did!  On the very first evening of series 11 (which aired in June and July 2024) a curveball was thrown with the surprise arrival of Love Island first ever celebrity bombshell in the form of the one and only Joey Essex (perhaps trying to collect the set of reality TV show appearances).  And Joey very nearly made it right to the bitter end, dumped just three days before the finale.

Series 12 started on June 9th 2025and has now wrapped.  It was accompanied by the special one off programme Love Island: A Decade Of Love in which former contestants gathered to talk about their memories to celebrate the show’s 10th anniversary.

In the trailer Maya Jama said “This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more make-ups.  I want more twists.  I want more twists than ever.” (And indeed, the season delivered some great new twists including returning previously dumped contestants to the villa!)

As for contestants, they were announced with just a few days to go but before the show even started Kyle Ashman, a water operative from Stafford, pulled out amid speculation that he was involved in a crime investigation.

Most Notorious Love Island Moments

Where to begin? Love Island has had its fair share of controversial moments in its seven year run that are far too numerous to mention here. But we’ve somehow manage to whittled them down to five. We begin with a rather sweet moment from series one.

The Proposal

Talk about getting into the spirit of things. As series one careened towards its inevitable conclusion, Jon Clark decided to do the honourable thing and propose to his Love Island partner, Hannah Elizabeth.

These two love birds had been the stars of the show so it was only right and proper for Jon to get down on one knee. Hannah happily accepted and they duly broke up before the year was out. Oh well.  At least she gets a second chance in the 2024 All Stars series!

The Dirty Duo

Emma-Jane Woodhams and Terry Walsh decided to consummate their fledging relationship in series two – in and of itself not an unusual occurrence on Love Island. But the pair concluded that the deed was best performed in front of their housemates in the dorm, not to mention more than a million television viewers. Classy!!

The Would-Be Warriors

It really ‘kicked off’ in series 3 when Sam Gowland took exception to Chris Hughes allegedly ‘being snaky behind his back’ (snaky bad).

The pint-sized antagonists then faced off in front of the fire pit to discuss the matter, with Sam in his moth-eaten jeans and Chris in his skin-tight slacks. As tempers began to fray, the pair had to be separated by the other contestants.

The Snake

The 2017 season also saw contestants Jonny Mitchell and Theo Campbell ‘almost come to blows’. The tension had been building for an episode or two before things came to a head at the fire-pit coupling ceremony.

Team GB athlete, Theo had already stirred things up in the villa by making a play for pretty much any female with a pulse, including Jonny’s ‘gel’, Tyla.

When Theo chose to couple up with Tyla, Jonny was effectively left without a partner. Enraged, he labelled Theo a ‘massive b***-**d and handbags ensued.

The Lost Crown

Zara Holland entered the villa as Miss Great Britain. But her lofty status as pageant queen didn’t last very long.

Following a steamy tryst with Alex Bowen in the hideaway, Ms Holland was stripped of her crown, with the pageant organisers unable to condone her naughty behaviour. Oh get over it. It’s not as if Love Island is like the last days of Rome…

The Chris and Olivia Show

These two are possibly the most argumentative couple in the history of the show. One particular highlight from their endless bickering occurred after poor Olivia was declared the most unpopular housemate with the public – agonising, gut-wrenching news for any reality show contestant.

Happily, the producers made sure she knew as well. When Chris didn’t provide her with enough reassurances about her very being, she was outraged and called off their volatile relationship. They made up though and even starred in their own short-lived spin-off show, ‘Cracking On’.

Anyway, what about this year?
