EXCLUSIVE: Love Island star Shakira Khan has spent a huge amount of clothes, beauty products and other essentials to ensure she’s villa-ready – and has opened up about her thoughts on sex in the villa
Love Island’s Shakira Khan, 22, has lit up the villa as the 12th series kicks off with the usual mix of drama, romance, and jaw-dropping twists. But before the cameras start rolling, Shakira’s been busy preparing in true style – dropping over £2,000 on clothes, beauty must-haves, and other essentials to ensure she’s villa-ready from day one.
“I wasn’t messing about,” she tells us exclusively. “I’ve got three suitcases packed with everything I might need. I even bought things last year just in case.” Clearly, this isn’t Shakira’s first rodeo when it comes to being camera-ready, and she’s pulling out all the stops to make an impact. Away from the glitz and glamour, Shakira’s real-life job is as a children’s entertainer, specialising in kids’ parties dressed as Disney princesses.
Asked which princess she relates to most, she’s quick to pick Princess Jasmine: “She’s rebellious, strong, knows what she wants, and she’s adventurous – definitely Jasmine.” Her career has also seen her rubbing shoulders with some pretty high-profile clients. “I’ve hosted parties for Premier League footballers, reality stars, and other big names,” Shakira admits. “Can’t say who, though – NDAs and all that! But trust me, we’ve seen some big houses.”

With ITV confirming they’ll show any villa sex scenes this year, we couldn’t resist asking Shakira about her stance on intimacy in the villa. “I’ve talked to my mum and dad about it – it’s a big no-no,” she says firmly. “Personally, I wouldn’t do it anyway. Eight weeks isn’t that long for me.”
Love Island fans, get ready. Shakira’s arrival promises plenty of fun, fierce energy, and maybe a little bit of drama – but when it comes to love, she’s playing it cool.
But playing it cool could lead to heartbreak as a new bombshell arrives in tonight’s episode. One Love Island star has already been dumped from the villa before the show even airs. Those tuning in this evening will see a cruel twist as one Islander is sent packing – just moments after arriving in the villa. It has been revealed that one girl will be sent packing this evening after the instant arrival of a bombshell.
Just yesterday, it was announced that Toni – a VIP waitress who works in one of Las Vegas’ fancy hotels – would be entering the villa. Asked what she was looking for, she said she needed “someone that can make me laugh – I’m super outgoing. And someone that’s quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together.
“It’s time to try something new! I have some British friends and they’re pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.”
Now, her arrival will mean that one of the initial Love Island stars will be axed within hours of arriving. With filming already underway, the person has been sent packing from the villa – with it set to air this evening during the launch show.
“This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. The was absolutely gutted to leave. But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn’t the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives,” a source told The Sun.
“Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint.”
Love Island 2025 begins tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
