Who are the Irish contestants on Love Island as latest series enters final week?
Will the first ever Irish only couple win the Love Island 2025 finale on Monday night?
Love Island is coming to an end over the bank-holiday weekend, with massive speculation as to who will win.
This year's lineup saw a record breaking four Irish Islander’s enter the villa over the eight-week run.
Limerick has been represented in the villa for the first time since Greg O’Shea won series five in July 2019.
Conor Phillips, 25, entered the villa on day one and is coupled up with fellow Irish islander Megan Forte Clarke, 24.
Bilikis “Billykiss” Azeez, 28, and Andrada Pop, 27, both from county Dublin entered the villa but were dumped from the island after failing to find love.
Phillips entered the villa in the original line up being a last-minute addition replacing an islander who was dropped by producers days before he was scheduled to enter the villa.
Hailing from the Treaty County, Phillips is an alumnus of Crescent College Comphrensive SJ in Dooradoyle and a graduate of University of Limerick.
The 25-year-old is an Rugby Union player, being a former member of Munster Rugby's Academy and the Ireland Rugby 7’s team. He currently plays as a wing representing Terenure College RFC in the amateur All-Ireland league.
Originally coupled up with Helena Forde (29), Phillips has struggled to find love in the villa being in the most couples out of all the islanders, having coupled up with two fellow Irish contestants, Azeez and now his ninth couple with Forte Clarke.
Megan Forte Clarke is originally from Dublin though she is living in Brighton England having just finished university. Forte Clarke works as an energy broker while also following her passion for musical theatre. Her most recent role was in a production of Cinderella at the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury UK, in December 2024.
Forte Clarke entered the villa on day one of the series and was coupled up with Tommy Bradley, 22. She remained in a couple with Bradley until she was voted off the series by the public alongside Remell Mullins, 24, on Day 18.
Prior to her departure Forte Clarke had begun to get to know Phillips, though they had not officially coupled up.
In the days leading up to her dumping, they had spent the night in the Hideaway, where Phillips had gifted Forte Clarke a bracelet to symbolise his feelings for her.
Following the shock dumping, Phillips remained in the villa pursuing a series of different connections, most recently having shut down his relationship with Shakira Khan ,22, due to her lingering feelings for Harry Cooksley,30.
Just after this setback Phillips received a text that he was leaving the villa to go on a date with Forte Clarke, which saw her sensationally re-enter the villa on Day 43 alongside Blu Chegini, 26, who had been dumped on day four.
Phillips and Forte Clarke officially coupled up on Day 46 and are still in the running to win in Monday night’s finale, which would be the first time in the history of the show that both islanders in the winning couple would be from Ireland and a second win for a Limerick islander.
