How to watch Love Island All Stars 2025 abroad – stream outside the UK

Love Island ITV logo with a heart-shaped gem on a beach at sunset.

LOVE ISLAND fans, rejoice! The smash TV show is back on television screens for the summer.

If you’re outside the UK, no need to worry: here’s how to watch Series 12 of Love Island abroad.

The glorious Maya Jama is back on hosting duties as TV’s sexiest reality show is back for – gasp – a twelfth series.

And goodness gracious, the drama is never-ending: in the last couple of days we’ve seen fans call one gal the most sex-obsessed Love Islander ever.

Meanwhile, semi-professional hunk Harry has been described as just being in the villa for a ‘free holiday’.

If you’re jetting abroad soon, you’ll likely know that watching Love Island overseas can be tricky.

That’s because streaming ITVX outside the UK is blocked -luckily, there’s a simple (and legal) solution.

You can use a VPN, such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN, to stream ITV content from overseas.

Read on to learn how to use a VPN to access Love Island abroad.

How to watch Love Island 2025 abroad with a VPN

The whole process for watching Love Island 2025 while you’re outside the UK is actually pretty simple.

VPNs are online tools that can simulate a UK-based IP address, allowing you to bypass content restrictions.

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Download a VPN like ExpressVPN or NordVPN to whatever device you use to stream content.
  • Load the VPN app on that device, and select a UK server.
  • Head to ITVX, and search for Love Island. Play, sit back and enjoy!

ITVX is where you can catch up on episodes that are already live.

You can also use a VPN to watch Love Island live on ITV2, but remember: you need to have a TV license to watch any live UK television from overseas.

When does Love Island Series 12 2025 start?

It’s already started! Did you not get the memo?

Luckily, you haven’t missed much.

The latest series of Love Island kicked off on Monday 9th June at 9pm, so it’s barely been a week.

As ever, it’s available to watch on ITV2.

How many Love Islands will there be in 2025?

Unless there’s a surprise instalment later this year (unlikely), there will almost definitely be two seasons of Love Islands this year.

Back at the beginning of 2025, we had the All Stars edition of Love Island, bringing some sunny fun to the gloom of the New Year.

And now we’ve got the Series 12 Summer Edition to look forward to. Yay!

If we hear any more news about forthcoming series, we’ll keep you posted on this page.

Can you watch Love Island in the US?

We’re thrilled that Love Island has been a hit across the pond, and American fans can access this year’s season using a VPN, as outlined earlier in this article.

For more information and streaming options, check out our how to Watch Love Island in the US explainer.

We’ve actually tested several VPNs – you can check out our favourites in our best VPN service and best VPN for Netflix round-ups.

I looked P Diddy in the eye as brave Cassie gave her stomach-churning testimony – his brutal reaction left me cold

Collage of Diddy and his partner, a courtroom sketch, and a photo of the artist.

THE trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs has transformed the US District Courthouse in Lower Manhattan into the hottest ticket in the Big Apple.

Since the start of jury selection on May 5, the world’s media, online influencers, and true crime podcasters have descended onto 500 Pearl Street, hiring professional line sitters and standing on the courthouse’s sidewalk before sunrise.

I was among the more than two dozen who attended jury selection and the first week of Combs’ federal trial.

During day three of jury selection, I locked eyes with Combs as he entered the 26th-floor courtroom, shackleless and with his hands pressed together.

In that eerie moment, as Combs scanned the gallery, it felt as if he was conducting a deep analysis of each reporter, recording a photographic snap about the individual in his brain.

The spectators in the courtroom exhaled a huge sigh during the graphic testimonies from exotic dancer Daniel Phillips, who was invited into the rapper’s “freak offs”, and his ex, singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.

Combs’ twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, were noticeably missing from the gallery after day one of their father’s trial.

Still, Combs’ three sons, Justin, Quincy, and Christian, and his mother, Janice, sat through the stomach-turning testimony from Ventura, who described in great detail the hellish sex marathons she was allegedly coerced into with over a dozen male escorts.

I watched as some public spectators and journalists turned their heads away in distress as Ventura told jurors about the time Combs and an escort urinated on her.

Ventura’s husband, Alex Fine, who the defence wanted removed from the courtroom during her testimony, fearing outbursts, bravely watched from the gallery as his wife acknowledged the photos of male escorts she had sex with.

The atmosphere in the courtroom grew sorrowful as Ventura continued her testimony, recalling the weekly drug-fuelled “freak-offs” and traumatising abuse she suffered at the hands of Combs.

Throughout her nearly 96 hours on the stand, Ventura never looked in the direction of Combs.

However, I watched as Combs stared daggers through his ex-girlfriend, never flinching, seemingly without an ounce of remorse as Ventura wiped away tears from her eyes.

Each time Ventura finished her testimony, she walked past Combs, seated steps away, without ever acknowledging his presence.

At the end of each day, reporters, influencers, and podcasters race toward the building’s exit, rushing to retrieve their electronic devices from court officers.

As I exited the courthouse, I witnessed a sea of journalists, TikTokers, and podcasters stationed under a tree at the neighbouring Columbus Park, or any available space near the federal building, filing notes, on the phone with editors, or recording roundup videos.

As the sun sets on Lower Manhattan, many continue working their way through scripts or wait for their live shots on the evening newscast – all the while the sounds of emergency sirens and irate drivers blare in the background.

And in the midst of the end-of-day filing chaos, steps away, there is another group of fresh journalists and professional line sitters seated on beach chairs, inside tents, near the courthouse entrance, waiting to do it all again the next day.

We are now 26 days into the star’s sex-trafficking and racketeering trial that has seen bombshell testimony and a cache of shocking evidence.

The case centres on the accounts of three women, the eight men and four women of the jury were told, including Casandra Ventura, while several witnesses have also been called into the dock.

As the trial enters its sixth week, key pieces of evidence have come to light – among those a trove of messages from Diddy’s former chief of staff, who was tasked with planning sex marathons, personal texts between Diddy and Ventura and videos from the wild sex parties.

Diddy's charges explained by a lawyer

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani explained the set of charges Diddy is facing to The U.S. Sun:

“Diddy is facing three charges, or three sets of charges.

“The first is racketeering, which you typically see with organized crime enterprises – so the mob, cartels, street gangs – but we’re seeing it a lot more in sex trafficking cases.

“And you don’t need an organization like the mob, as long as it’s an enterprise, which is something that consists of two or more people, and they engage in two or more RICO predicate acts, that’s enough for racketeering.

“Racketeering is a powerful charge because it allows the government to bring in all sorts of evidence of criminal activity, as well as all sorts of people, into that racketeering conspiracy.

“And anyone who’s a co-conspirator, they’re on the hook for any criminal acts committed in furtherance of the conspiracy.

“The most serious charge, though, is sex trafficking.

“What separates sex trafficking from normal sex? Adults, of course, can consent to any type of sex, no matter how freaky it is. But sex trafficking has one of three elements: force, fraud, or coercion.

“And the government is saying that Diddy used force to force these men and women to participate in these freak-offs, and he coerced them by drugging them.

“The least serious charge is the prostitution, sometimes called the Man Act, and that’s engaging in prostitution using some sort of interstate commerce across state lines. That obviously is unlawful.

“Typically, you don’t see federal cases for prostitution only, which is why it’s the least serious of the crimes.”

Audio of a distraught Ventura threatening to kill a man over a “freak off” video was also released during the trial as part of her cross-examination by the disgraced star’s lawyers.

Cassie can be heard telling the unidentified man, who had claimed to have seen the video in 2014: “It’s my f***ing life and I’ll kill you”.

The audio evidence had been presented by Diddy’s lawyers in an attempt to prove that Ventura had been a willing participant in the sex marathons.

But she claimed that she was fearful the man would release the sex tape saying that it made her “feel sick”.

The trial continues, but one thing is for sure: there’ll be more twists, turns and bombshells to come in the music mogul’s shocking fall from grace.

Young dad’s heartbreaking final warning revealed before he was found dead by stepfather after taking his own life

A YOUNG dad sent his friends a heartbreaking final warning before he took his own life, an inquest heard.

Corey French, 19, was discovered dead by his stepfather outside his home in Swansea on Christmas Eve.

The inquest was told Corey, who had a three-month-old son, was fighting a secret battle with addiction issues including gambling.

Corey had told his GP he had been misusing alcohol, cocaine and cannabis before his death.

In a letter found after his death, he apologised for “having to go out like this”.

Corey said: “I can’t do it anymore. I can’t bare pain I’m going through. Don’t do drugs, that’s what has got me.”

The inquest heard Corey was a popular and talented young footballer who had been described by former teachers as a “bright boy who loved school sports and art”.

He was said to love his son and would “regularly show him off” to family members.

Corey had taken on a job where he would work away from home during the week, which he told a family member he struggled with.

But he had not indicated to friends, family or his girlfriend that he intended to harm himself.

On the evening he died, Corey had gone out to meet friends for a few drinks to celebrate Christmas before being taken home by his girlfriend.

His stepdad John later discovered the young dad dead outside the family home, the court heard.

Senior coroner Aled Gruffydd returned a conclusion of suicide.

You're Not Alone

EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide

It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.

It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.

And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.

Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.

That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.

The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.

Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.

If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:

Corey enjoyed football and played for West End FC before having a stint at Treboeth.

He attended Gower College to study plumbing, before finding work with a local builder.

Corey later got a job with Swansea Council as a van driver.

Stephen Bradley axes Cliftonville friendly as Shamrock Rovers await Euro draw

STEPHEN BRADLEY revealed that a potential July friendly with Cliftonville had to be shelved because they sides may face each other in the Conference League. 

The Hoops will face either Cliftonville or St Joseph’s of Gibraltar in the second round in the last two weeks in July.

Stephen Bradley also opened up on why Drogheda United’s UEFA heartbreak might be the first of many as club ownership models shift across Europe

And with the Hoops inactive in the opening weeks of the month after receiving a first round bye due to Drogheda United’s expulsion, Bradley was looking to arrange a friendly. 

He said: “We’ve had a few of them from the North, and Cliftonville were one of them! So we won’t be playing that one. We’ll definitely play a couple of games around that time.

“We’ve had offers from away as well but a lot wanted you to travel which is not what we want at this time. 

“We’ll definitely stay local, whether it’s up the north or staying here, we definitely won’t be travelling (for friendlies).”

Meanwhile, Bradley believes that Drogheda United’s Euro expulsion might become a regular occurrence in future as multi-club ownership models before the norm. 

And he confirmed that one potential investor in Shamrock Rovers had raised it as a concern if they had put money into the Hoops. 

FAI Cup holders Drogheda were denied entry into the Conference League this season because their owners Trivela, also own Danish club Silkeborg. 

Trivela, who were doing the legal requirements to meet UEFA rules, appealed citing previous examples were clubs were given time to address the issues. 

But Bradley reckons it will become more common in future, and pointed to Bournemouth investors Black Knight’s interest in Rovers last year. 

He said: “I think we’re going to run into more problems like this. I think it’s only going to become commonplace. 

“I know one of the companies that were looking to invest in here in the last while, that was one of the concerns. 

“(Black Knight), that was their concern with Bournemouth. Whether that would happen or not, none of us know but that was one of the concerns and rightly so. 

“I think it’s going to become commonplace around European football.”

As Silkeborg finished seventh in the Danish league and the Drogs were ninth in the League of Ireland, it was the Irish outfit who forfeited their place under UEFA rules

And Bradley has nothing but sympathy for the players, management and fans at Drogheda.

He added: I’m just gutted for Kevin (Doherty), the players, the staff and the fans because they have done their bit. 

“Because someone hasn’t done their business right behind the scenes, without knowing it it’s going to kill an opportunity for them. I’m gutted for them.”

Pubs will open late if Lionesses reach Euros semi-finals in huge win for fans

PUBS have been granted extra time to stay open if the Lionesses reach this year’s Euros semi-finals.

MPs have agreed to allow bars to sell alcohol until 1am if either England or Wales play in the European Championship semi-finals or finals next month.

MPs have agreed to the temporary hours, which are extended from the usual 11pm time[/caption]

Policing minister Dame Diana Johnson said venues “stand to benefit” from the later closing time, which is extended from the usual 11pm cut-off.

Tory MP Andrew Snowden joked that his father might “disown” him, had his party not backed the Government’s proposal.

The Lionesses were hailed as “inspirational” when they won the same tournament in 2022, beating fierce rivals Germany 2-1 in front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium.

Substitute Chloe Kelly fired the Lionesses to glory — and tore off her shirt to celebrate as the nation erupted in joy.

The 24-year-old striker’s wild celebration of her historic strike will live in the memory.

Manchester City star Chloe wheeled away toward the touchline in her white sports bra as she helped bring football home – 56 years after the men’s 1966 World Cup triumph.

But pubs have been warned that they will have to stick to their ordinary timings if neither team manages to reach the final stages of the “prestigious tournament”.

The semi-finals are set to take place on July 22 and 23, with the final on July 27.

Speaking in the Commons today, Dame Diana said: “[Pubs] stand to benefit from this modest extension which would allow them to accommodate increased demand during these high-profile fixtures.

“If neither England nor Wales reach the semi-finals, the proposed extension will not apply on July 22 or 23.

“Similarly, if one or both teams reach the semi-finals but do not progress to the final, normal licensing hours will apply on July 27.

“I have to say, from my limited following of football, it seems like the women’s teams have a reputation for doing far better than our male teams.

“I fully accept that the hospitality sector has had a difficult time over the last few years and this is a helpful measure.

“It is right to acknowledge as well that police representatives have expressed some concerns regarding the potential for increased crime and disorder.

“Now, whilst operational decisions on deployment and resourcing are a matter for individual forces, I am confident that appropriate measures will be taken to mitigate any risks, as has happened in similar cases.

“Notably, there have been no significant incidents of large-scale disorder linked to previous licensing extensions, which I think is testament to the professionalism of our police service, to whom we owe our thanks.” 

Mr Snowden, the MP for Fylde, said the Conservatives were “delighted” to support the temporary changes.

He added: “I don’t think I would have much choice on this matter, as if I ever stood at this dispatch box and opposed more time in the pub to watch football, my dad would probably disown me.

“We are the defending champions of the Women’s Uefa cup after England’s magnificent performance at the 2022 tournament hosted here in the UK at Wembley.

“The final saw a 2-1 victory, and of course in football, it was made all the sweeter by beating the Germans.

“So this is a fantastic time to support your local as well as your national.”

England and Wales face each other on July 13, with both nations in Group D alongside France and the Netherlands.

The Lionesses will face France on July 5 when Wales play the Netherlands.

On July 9, England will play the Netherlands while Wales face France.

Abandoned UK car graveyard where fleet of 90s icons left to rot – including classic Cadillac & discontinued favourite

A HAUNTING graveyard of rotting vintage vehicles has been captured in the British countryside.

Images show rusting motors lined up, including a nostalgic 90s Cadillac, in various states of disrepair.

Volvos and even a Cadillac were sighted in the eerie scrapyard[/caption]

The scrapyard, which inhabits a crumbling UK farm, also includes dusty Micras and Volvos.

The latter takes up most of the space, where a lineup of once eye-catching 240s and 244s eerily sit.

Some of them don badges and stickers from their last days on the road.

One Volvo in particular is likely a more recent addition as it sports a fresh-looking exhaust warning sticker.

But others have seen better days.

Some have been stacked, used to prop up even more scrap, their roofs caved in under the weight of other forgotten vehicles.

And viewers may have to squint to identify a left-hand-drive Cadillac buried beneath overgrown bramble.

This isn’t the first time that classic cars have been left to rot in a barn.

Over 40 abandoned motors from manufacturers such as BMW, Ford, Rover and Volvo were found in an open barn in the UK.

A fleet of dilapidated fire engines covered in mould and peeling red paint were also found.

The images were taken by urban explorer Kyle Urbex during his 220th exploration at Brian’s Vintage Car Collection in Chester.

Kyle found the graveyard hidden away behind dense vegetation near the home of elderly couple Brian and Barbara.

Other images show old tractors and JCBs scattered across the property, giving it an eerie abandoned atmosphere.

He also found a BMW 635 CSI, once a sign of luxury, slowly being reclaimed by nature.

With iconic styling and nicknamed ‘shark nose’ the motor was very much the symbol of the BMW range after being introduced in 1978.

Kyle’s visit took an unexpected turn when he stumbled upon Brian himself who revealed his hopes for the future.

He said: “Brian has full intentions of one day being able to restore this high car collection, but given his age of 70+, I highly doubt he will get around to restoring all the cars and fire trucks.

“He has been victim to some of the cars being smashed to bits by youths.”

The 20p hack that makes flies turn around and fly back out of your house – they hate the smell & it lasts for weeks

SOAKING up the sunshine is one of the best parts of summer, but with the hot weather comes a whole host of pests to deal with.

One of the more common pests households deal with are flies, which can take over gardens and homes.

Flies have certain scents so they’re perfect to deter them from your home[/caption]

Luckily, you don’t have to spend a fortune on gadgets to try and get rid of them, this simple trick will work wonders.

It was shared by This Morning pro, Nancy Birtwhistle, and at just 20p you can’t go wrong.

Her hack is perfect for keeping bugs at bay, and better yet, it’s an eco-friendly option that won’t harm the environment.

First, Nancy warned to keep food away from areas flies might gather, including waste in bins, which can be covered with a lid.

“They [flies] hate the smell of citrus and they hate the smell of cloves,” she said, explaining how easy it is to keep them at bay.

With this in mind, she suggested creating a DIY method to deter the pesky insects.

All you need to do is cut a few lemons in half and then stick the cloves into the juicy part.

Although the fresh scent is lovely for us humans, the flies can’t stand it and will find somewhere else to go.

“They just hate it,” the pro said as she explained how she keeps a just one in her conservatory, and in other rooms around her house.

“My husband just didn’t believe this until he saw a fly come in, see this, turn around and fly out,” she added.

After around a week, the lemon scent will begin to fade, so you can take the cloves out and reuse them with fresh lemons, to keep your home smelling fresh and keep the flies out.

And since a bag of lemons from Asda will set you back just 99p, as will a bag of cloves, this back works out at just pennies.

If, like most people, you like to leave windows and doors open during the warm summer months, you could also stick one of the clove lemons there too, to deter them from coming inside.

“But two easy solutions can be to regularly pour hot water down your drain (every three-five days) which will effectively clean the drains and kill the eggs, larvae and any adult flies.”

What are house flies?

House flies got their name by being the most common household fly.

With their hairy black bodies and translucent wings, these insects can be found worldwide.

They generally live for between 15 and 25 days and can survive without food or water for two to three days.

What causes a lot of flies in the house?

House flies are highly attracted to manure, and can often be found around farms.

They generally stay within a mile or two of their birthplace, but they have been known to travel up to 20 miles.

House flies enjoy being in the sun, and will perch in sunny spots around your home.

Bright lights at night can also attract flies.

Keep pests out all summer

IF you want to ensure that your home is pest free this summer, here's what you need to know.

Hornets and wasps – hate the smell of peppermint oil so spraying this liberally around your patio or balcony can help to keep them at bay.

Moths – acidic household white vinegar is effective for deterring moths. Soak some kitchen roll in vinegar and leave it in your wardrobe as a deterrent.

Flying ants – herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, mint, chilli pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, or garlic act as deterrents.

Mosquitoes – plants, herbs and essential oil fragrances can help deter mozzies inside and out. Try eucalyptus, lavender and lemongrass.
