CABIN crew member Helena Ford is one of the stunning singletons starring in Love Island 2025.
The full line-up for this year’s edition of the UK’s biggest reality dating show was exclusively revealed by The Sun — here’s everything we know about Helena.
Blonde beauty Helena Ford is hoping to find the perfect match on Love Island 2025.
The gorgeous influencer is mates with Love Island alumni Zara McDermott, who entered as a bombshell back in 2018, but only lasted 10 days in the famous villa.
Helena has worked as cabin crew and loves to travel the world.
While she is based in the UK, most of her social media pics are from beautiful and luxurious locations she has visited with her job.
She has been snapped in the Bahamas, Dubai, Miami, Cape Town and Lake Como in Italy.
Helena also has a TikTok account where she posts ‘come with me’ videos as she jets off around the world — as of June 6, 2025, she has less than 500 followers, but that’s sure to change during her Love Island stint.
Her bio on the platform states: “I’m off to find love in the @Love Island villa!”
Personality-wise, Helena is looking for a partner with a great sense of humour, specifically someone from the north of England — despite being a southern lass herself.
She said: “I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners.
“If you look through my previous dating history, you’ll see I clearly go for personality.
“You can pretty much laugh me into bed.”
Helena is among the eldest in this year’s lineup at 29 years old.
Helena is confirmed to be joining the cast for the show’s 12th season, which premieres at 9pm on Monday, June 9, 2025.
In keeping with Love Island tradition, this year’s summer edition kicks off on ITV2 the week after the Late May Bank Holiday.

Helena Ford
She is one of the initial batch of Islanders entering the villa at the start of the season, rather than arriving later as a bombshell.
So fans will see Helena from the very first episode, giving her the opportunity to form early connections and play a central role in the unfolding drama.
Host Maya Jama called for even more ‘twists and turns’ in the trailer for Love Island 2025.
She said: “This year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder, I want ideas.
“This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more makeups.
“I want more twists, I want more twists than ever.”

DONALD Trump and Elon Musk’s bitter public feud is set for another twist today with the pair reportedly sitting down for peace talks.
The White House is believed to have been scrambling to arrange a phone call between the most powerful man in America and the world’s richest person.
Those in Washington have been trying to end the nuclear feud before it turns any worse after hours of outlandish Jefferey Epstein claims and brutal impeachment barbs.
White House aides have now managed to schedule a call today with the billionaire CEO and Trump to try and broker peace, according to Politico.
The two powerful men had been close allies for the best part of a year since Musk sided with Trump during the 2024 US presidential election.
They were almost inseparable for months after Trump’s seismic victory at the polls in November.
But their impending break up came over the weekend when Musk stepped away from his governmental duties with the Department of Government Efficiency.
Trump gave his friend a touching send off in a final Oval Office interview which was overshadowed by Musk’s peculiar black eye.
But ever since, their relationship has taken a steep and sour turn.
The Tesla chief has been highly critical of the president’s “big beautiful bill” on several occasions online.
He even labelled it a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill”.
Trump soon responded and sparked a very public fallout between the pair which came to blows on Thursday.
The worst of the lot came from Musk who called for the president’s impeachment and made unfounded allegations about Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Musk claimed that Trump is withholding the infamous Epstein files due to his name appearing in them.
Despite the remark there is no evidence that Trump had any involvement in convicted sex offender Epstein’s crimes.
Trump hit back on Truth Social saying Elon was “wearing thin” and that the president had to ask him to leave the White House.
He went on to say that the US government could end all federal contracts with Musk’s companies if the insults continued to fly.
Trump described the possible move as a money saving measure.
Musk even said the 2024 US election, which Trump won by a landslide, was thanks to his support.
The debate quickly dragged in other pivotal US figures with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying Musk was having an “unfortunate episode”.
The SpaceX boss spent hours on his X platform addressing the heated situation overnight.
Despite going on the commenting spree targeting the governmental bill and Trump’s presidency, Musk did appear to be open to a reconciling.
American billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman sent out a message urging both men to make up for the good of the US.
He personally tweeted at Musk and Trump saying: “We are much stronger together than apart.”
Musk replied to the message by saying: “You’re not wrong.”
Trump is yet to publicly speak on if he believes there is a way back for the pair.
But he did tell Politico in a phone call that everything is “going very well, never done better”.
ELON Musk and Donald Trump spent Thursday trading barbs over social media.
The Tesla owner called for Trump’s impeachment as the president hit back and said the government could end all federal contracts with Musk’s companies. Here’s how it went down:
He added that despite Musk’s popularity with voters, the president’s favorability ratings have continued to go “through the roof”.
Trump is currently embroiled in several emergency peace talks across the globe.
He has been urgently looking to end the war in Ukraine since entering office in January by keeping both Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin on side.
The president also held a crunch phone call with China’s Xi Jinping on Thursday.
Trump described it as a “very good” conversation and said he has been invited to Beijing in the coming months.
It comes amid weeks of escalating trade tensions after Trump announced especially bruising tariffs on China.
ONLY a few individuals in the world stand a chance at becoming the world’s first trillionaire – and Elon Musk is near the top of that list.
Since the start of his career, Musk has been able to amass an extensive fortune and kept a hold of the “world’s richest man” moniker for years.
His career in the business world dates back to 1995, when he and his brother, Kimbal Musk, started the software firm, Zip2, which created internet city guides for the New York Times and Chicago Tribune.
Four years later, in February 1999, Compaq acquired the company for $307 million in cash, giving Musk $22 million for his seven percent share from the sale.
Later in 1999, he then co-founded X.com, one of the world’s first online banks, which merged with PayPal the following year.
A notorious workaholic, he doesn’t spend his money on lavish vacations or expensive hobbies.
Instead, the entrepreneur spends most of his free time at the office or in factories.
Nowadays, most of his wealth continues to tick over thanks to his multiple business ventures including founding giant companies like Tesla and SpaceX.
Musk’s worth also comes from the stock market, which he has helped influence greatly over the years.
At the beginning of 2021, Musk made the price of Bitcoin break all-time records after he revealed Tesla invested $1.5billion in the cryptocurrency.
In 2022, Musk hit headlines once more when he made an audacious paid for Twitter and turned it into X.
There’s a common notion within the anime fandom nowadays, where almost everyone thinks of Demon Slayer as an animation masterpiece, which is indeed high praise, but it’s just that.

Науковці з Королівського університету Канади змогли створити ефект, схожий на полярне сяйво, у лабораторії. Для цього вони використали новий світловипромінювальний полімер, здатний випромінювати світло під дією електричного поля. Результати дослідження опубліковані у журналі Physical Review Letters. Щоб спостерігати ефект, вчені охолодили зразок полімеру до -73 °C і подали на нього напругу до 1000 вольтів. Це призвело до утворення всередині матеріалу дрібних порожнин, схожих на […]

THIS is the moment an “evil” soldier who raped a woman after dragging her off the street was caught hiding in a loo.
Shrewsbury Crown Court heard that Private John Harvey didn’t know the woman, who is in her 20s.
The 25-year-old man targeted her and dragged her off the street in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
He then raped the terrified victim twice during the “horrific” 20-minute attack.
Harvey, who lived at a military barracks near Market Drayton and had a “respectable” army career, attacked the woman in the early hours of July 6 last year.
After raping her, Harvey – who is said to be an “educated man with a degree” – fled and the woman bravely called police.
Later, Judge Richard McConaghy said the recording of the 999 call was “harrowing” to listen to.
Cops swarmed the area in their hunt for the sick soldier.
Harvey was found hours later at around 6.30am, cowering inside a toilet cubicle at Shrewsbury train station.
He had missed his last train and headed back towards the woman he attacked.
But a court heard he was “put off” by the fact she was on the phone to the police and went back to the train station to hide.
Bodycam footage showed the moment officers handcuffed him after forcing open the door.
Harvey initially admitted raping the woman but then changed his plea, forcing the survivor to face him in court.
During the trial at Shrewsbury Crown Court, the jury heard the victim had been forced to relive “the worst moment of my life repeatedly”.
Following a nine-day trial in February, Harvey was found guilty of rape by a unanimous verdict.
Yesterday, he was jailed for nine years and ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register for life.
Detective Constable Sam Jones, from Shropshire’s Reactive CID, said: “I am extremely pleased with the sentence that has been given to Harvey by the judge today, as he is a danger to the wider public, in particular women.
“In July last year Harvey committed a purely evil crime.
“Despite admitting to the offences during a police interview when he was arrested, he then changed his story at court, subjecting his victim and her loved ones to sit through a trial and relive that awful night.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the victim for her bravery and resilience throughout the entire investigation and trial.”
