Love Island Aftersun returns with a revamped panel featuring former islanders Casey O’Gorman and Tyrique Hyde alongside podcaster Joe Baggs, with the trio joining podcast hosts Shakira Khan, Toni Laites, and Yas Pettet for the spin-off’s new season.
Quick Facts
- The six-person panel rotates weekly rather than appearing together on every episode.
- Maya Jama continues as host of the show.
- Aftersun airs on Sundays following the main Love Island broadcast.
- The new panel replaces Sam Thompson, Indiyah Polack, Amy Hart, and Ash Holme from the previous lineup.
The new lineup represents a significant shift for Love Island Aftersun, which has been a mainstay of the ITV2 reality dating show for years. Shakira Khan, Toni Laites, and Yas Pettet were recently confirmed as hosts of the show’s podcast, Love Island: The Debrief, and now expand their roles to the television panel.
Casey O’Gorman brings extensive Love Island experience, having competed on the show four times and winning All Stars last year with Gabby Allen. Tyrique Hyde, another former islander, has built a profile interviewing other Love Island alumni on his live streams, positioning him well for the panel role.

Joe Baggs, known for his podcast Not My Bagg, has previously appeared on the Aftersun panel and interviewed several former islanders. According to The Sun, one of his interviews was even played at the All Stars final earlier this year, and he has worked with ITV on shows including This Morning.
The rotating format means the six panelists won’t all appear simultaneously each week, allowing the show to bring fresh perspectives and different combinations of voices as the season progresses. Maya Jama continues to helm the show, which maintains its traditional Sunday slot following the main Love Island broadcast.
