💨 Abstract

Love Island 2025's launch was disrupted after Kyle Ashman, 23, was removed from the opening lineup due to his involvement in a machete attack. Ashman was arrested following a violent incident at a wake in Stafford where several people, including his dad, were injured. Although Ashman has denied involvement and was released without charges, his participation was axed due to police checks that had failed to flag the incident. The show will now replace him in the opening episode.
