A huge reality TV blunder has seen the entire cast for an upcoming new season of Love Island leaked - with eagle eyed fans discovering the entire cast of the new series before it has even started to air.

The shocking mistake came ahead of the upcoming new season of Love Island Australia, where 21 profiles of the new series were accidentally posted online to the 9Now website. The accidental posts have since been taken down, but fans on Reddit have already saved and shared the previously top secret identities of the new islanders.

The Mail reports that the apparent new cast accidentally revealed in the leak include former reality stars, an ex Love Islander who has already appeared on the show, and viral TikTok stars.

If the leak is accurate, it seems that among the cast is Sydney Paight, who already appeared on the US version of Love Island and came runner up on the show during season 4.

It wouldn’t be the first time a former Islander from another country has joined the Australian version of the show, as last season, Lucinda Strafford from Love Island UK also joined Love Island Australia cast. Brighton-born Lucinda had previously starred in Love Island in the UK in 2021 alongside Millie Court, before becoming the first UK ex-Islander to join the Australian version of the dating show.

There are more familiar reality TV faces among the line up leak, too, including Mercedes Knox, who has won the US show FBoy Island not once but twice, and Taylor Reid, who competed in Australian reality show The Summit this year.

Among the social media stars revealed are Kaylah Homes, a ‘bikini pro athlete’ who already has 48,000 followers on Instagram, and Sophie Mills, who has racked up millions of views with viral videos on TikTok.

The leak comes as Love Island Australia, which is hosted by singer and actress Sophie Monk, looks to ramp up the drama with sources reporting an exciting X-rated twist not yet seen in the UK version of the show.

Reports say that the upcoming season won’t just include the drama of Casa Amor that Love Island fans are already familiar with, but instead will introduce Hotel Amor: a whole new twist on the infamous loyalty test.

Where Casa Amor is completely filmed for viewers to see, Hotel Amor will see the couples separated and faced with the ultimate temptation: a getaway to the hotel which will test the contestants’ loyalties without cameras - and totally away from prying eyes.

It's not the only revelation to have Love Island fans shocked lately, as this year's winners Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan recently announced their split, admitting 'things aren't going to work'.
