LAUREN Wood landed in the villa as a bombshell, but no one expected her to 'go off' — twice, according to Harrison — quite so soon.
She has already caused quite the stir by going all the way with game-player Harrison — here's everything we know about her.
On Monday, July 14, 2025, Harrison had a secret terrace kiss with ex Toni, which resulted in a massive and tearful row with current partner Lauren.
Then just hours later, Harrison ended up having sex with Lauren.
After doing the deed, Harrison told the boys the "full-time whistle blew" as he used a football analogy to explain their bedroom activities.
He was talking to Harry and Dejon in the garden when he was grilled on the goings on between the sheets.
Harry asked: "Active was it last night?"
Dejon added: "You went full time?"
To which Harrison replied: "Yeah the full-time whistle blew."
Harry pushed for gory details: "Did the whistle get blown?"
And Harrison finally admitted: "Yeah it was blown, game done."
Going in to a bit more detail, he added: "It was great honestly — it was a nice little 2-0 win."
Who is Lauren Wood?
Lauren Katie Wood is a 26-year-old dog walker and Airbnb rental manager from York.
The Casa Amor beauty had already been part of the show this series, as exclusively revealed by The Sun.
Lauren was one of 2025's guinea pig Islanders for the show's ‘dry run’ in May — but execs loved her so much, they cherry-picked her to return.
Although this does mean she might quickly be labelled a "producer plant" by viewers.
Every year a group of stand-ins move into the villa before the real cast arrives.
This allows the crew to test camera angles and sound etc, and also whether the furniture and fittings are all ready for eight weeks of action.
A source prophetically said: “Lauren was one of the dry run Islanders but bosses loved her so guaranteed her a slot in Casa Amor.
“Fans will feel like she’s going in there as a producer plant as she’s been specially chosen and has the added advantage of having been among crew, in the villa, and knows how everything works.
“Certainly it’ll help her feel a bit more comfortable and confident.
“There has been other Islanders in the past who went from a dry runner to full cast.
2023's winner Sanam Harrinanan was part of the dry run cast and then went all the way."
Lauren regularly shares insights into lifestyle on Instagram, as well as showing off her athletic figure in a series of lingerie snaps,
She also posts snaps of lavish nights out in Manchester and holidays in Thailand.
Lauren counts Chris Hughes and Chris Clark as friends, who are both Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson's exes.
