Love Island 2025 kicked off with a bang on Monday night as the new islanders entered the famous villa in their quest to find love.
However Helena had a rough start as she insisted she was not interested in rugby players, before awkwardly being left to couple up with hunky pro player Connor.
In a new twist, Maya shared the new boys dating profiles before the girls were told to go stand next to the name they would like to couple up with most.
In a panic Helena was left with 25-year-old rugby player Connor when she really wanted to couple up with 6ft2 trader Harry, who Sophie stole.
Maya looked shocked by her choice and said: 'Helena, you're with Connor, I thought you didn't like rugby players!'

She replied: 'I know but nobody else wants to swap, does anyone want to swap? I don't want the 22-year-old he's a bit to young though.'
Looking at Sophie, she added: 'No you keep Harry, it's fine we can swap later on.'
Sophie agreed, 'Yeah we can touch base and maybe have a handover tonight.'
Helena added: 'I'll just take it, we'll give it ago. It's a gut instinct let's just get on with it'.
Meanwhile as Helena, who is the only blonde bombshell in the villa so far, got to know Connor later, he admitted he doesn't go for blondes.

Elsewhere Maya kicked off the new series of Love Island in sensational style as she strutted into the famous villa to greet the new girls.
The presenter, 30, kicked off another series of show-stopping looks in a plunging black floral dress as she made her entrance.
Maya put on a leggy display as the stunning number, which showed off her amazing figure, featured a floaty skirt which was shorter in the front and longer in the back.
Styling her long dark tresses in voluminous waves, the ITV2 star accessorised with a huge pair of coordinated drop earrings.
She greeted the girls in the villa for the first time before heading over to the famous fire pit to discuss the girls' types.
She introduced 12 brand new Islanders to the Majorca villa who are hoping to find love during the dating show.
This year's crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, fire breather and Maura Higgins lookalike and Maya will once again be at the helm after joining the popular dating series in January 2023.
This year, the show celebrates a decade on screens and promises to have 'more twists and turns than ever before' in honour of their 10-year anniversary.
The series, which has been streamed over two billion times on ITVX, has seen over 300 Islanders pass through the villa doors over the years, including the likes of Olivia Attwood, Dani Dyer, Chris Hughes, and Molly-Mae Hague.
Love Island is set to air on June 9 over on ITV2 and ITVX.
