Dublin influencer Charleen Murphy is rumoured to be heading into the Love Island villa, with Ladbrokes making her odds-on favourite at 4/6
According to leading bookmakers Ladbrokes, Charleen Murphy is now the favourite at 4/6 to feature in this season of Love Island.
The 27 year old influencer has built a reputation for her fashion and lifestyle posts across social media platforms. She boasts an impressive following of 390k on Instagram and 383k on TikTok.
Ms Murphy has been spotted globe-trotting over recent weeks, fuelling speculation that the single star could be heading into the villa. Whispers began circulating when Charleen was photographed alongside Lucinda Strafford, a former contestant on the reality dating programme, at Coachella music festival, reports the Irish Mirror.
Supporters online believe she’s already touched down in Majorca, Spain, sporting a fresh blow dry and prepared to catch eyes in the sunshine.
She revealed on social media in January that her four-year relationship with footballer Dano Mandroiu had come to an end.

The Dublin-based influencer previously co-hosted a podcast with fellow social media personality Ellie Kelly, titled Hold my drink with Charleen and Ellie. The programme wrapped up in December 2025.
Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes commented: “We’re in for another Irish bombshell in the villa! Punters are backing the cheeky influencer to shake up the villa completely.”
