Along the way, there will be the usual arrival of bombshells as well as “surprise dumpings.”

What Cast Announcement Means For Love Island UK Season 12

Are Lucy and Aaron Joining Love Island UK?

Anticipation is building for another summer full of Love Island UK, with Maya Jama returning as host. Over a week ago, it was being reported that Lucy Quinn and Aaron Buckett would likely be joining the cast. Aaron is a personal trainer who’s being called a “mad mountain.” Meanwhile, Lucy is a 20-year-old makeup artist who refuses to deal with nonsense.

However, their names are nowhere to be found in the official cast announcement. There are a couple different explanations for that. Either Lucy and Aaron are being considered as bombshells, or the producers ultimately decided not to cast them for the show. As the season unfolds, fans will have to wait to find out if Lucy or Aaron show up.

Which Islanders Will Be Successful On Love Island UK?

Aside from the premiere date and official cast announcement, there’s not much else that’s been revealed about Love Island UK season 12, aside from the fact that the villa is located in Mallorca, which is part of the Balearic Islands in Spain. Temperatures are expected to be anywhere from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, which is perfect for the Islanders to soak up the sun as they embark on the exciting dating experiment. Fans are counting down the days until June 12 and the return of Love Island UK.
