Get ready Australia! Love Island Australia is back for its fifth season and it’s already proving to be an unforgettable year.
Returning once again to Malorcas Spain, the 2023 season of Love Island Australia will see the return of long-time host Sophie Monk and ten hot new singles looking for love.
The first trailer of the season hinted at a significant shift in power dynamics, with a “wicked new power shift” that will see “the girls hold all the power.”
Promising the “spiciest twist ever,” and the introduction of a “new villain era,” fans eagerly waited for the new season which debuted on October 30 and so far the season has lived up to the hype!

Meet the Contestants of Love Island Australia 2023
Kirra Schofield
Age: 26
Occupation: Early Childhood Educator
From: Perth, WA
Think Kirra looks familiar? Maybe it’s because she appeared on this year’s season of MAFS, supporting her sister Bronte!
Kirra explained appearing briefly on the show was “intense.” “Me and my sister Bronte are so supportive of each other and we fight for each other, so to see what she was going through was so full-on,” she added.
“I feel like I take on her problems and what she does. When someone does her dirty, I am out for that person too. When I was hearing what she was going through it was tough, but I had to stand up for her.”
Now it’s her turn to find love, and Bronte had some advice before she entered the Villa; “She said just be yourself and be strong and you will be fine.”

Tyra Johannes

Occupation: Accounts

What is Tyra looking for in a partner? “Definitely honesty,” she explains to WHO. “Just open communication, a sense of humour, someone who is supportive…all the basic and good qualities you want in a person.”
Describing herself as an emotionally aware person, a bit goofy, carefree, fun and super chilled, Tyra tells us that whilst it isn’t a dealbreaker, she’s entering the Villa to look for a “serious relationship.”

Now she’s having a gap year as she figures out if she wants to become a junior lawyer.
“I have burnt through every possible dating outlet in Adelaide,” Savanah shares with WHO. ” I thought Love Island is a great way to broaden my horizons and meet people from all over Australia.”
