Love Island U.K. Contestant Kyle Ashman Drops Out Days Before Season 12 Following Machete Incident
- The twelfth season of Love Island UK began airing on ITV2 and ITVX at 9 p.m. on June 9, 2025, with Kyle Ashman confirmed to be absent from the villa.
- Kyle Ashman was removed from the show days prior due to personal reasons linked to a police investigation into a machete attack in Stafford earlier this year.
- Kyle Ashman, previously identified as a water worker in Stafford, fully cooperated with police during their inquiry and denied any involvement, resulting in authorities releasing him without charges.
- ITV confirmed Kyle would not enter the villa, stating this occurred "for personal reasons," and Kyle asserted, "I am not a violent person," calling suggestions otherwise a mischaracterization.
- Kyle's departure reduced the 2025 lineup announced on June 3, but Love Island UK and its U.S. counterpart proceed with new casts seeking romance and prize money.
