It's all happening in the Love Island villa this week. With the show's new twist, The Sleepover, underway, the rest of the Love Island 2025 cast are cracking on in the main villa and it's looking like Emily Moran could be returning to the villa single if she doesn't couple up with one of the new boys...
Her current partner Conor Phillips is getting close to Megan Fort Clarke, and the duo shared several kisses on the terrace last night (24th June), just moments after Megan had a heated conversation with her current partner Tommy Bradley for believing Harry Cooksley over her.
Harry had told Tommy to be weary of Megan, who he thought might have been enjoying getting to know Conor more than she was letting on, after Shakira Khan filled him on the girls' conversation.
Harry said that Megan was "giddy" while speaking to Conor, and Megan didn't like this, insisting that she'd been completely up front with Tommy.
As Conor and Megan crack on, read on for everything you need to know about Conor, including his job, what he's like outside the villa and type of woman he's looking for...
Who is Conor Phillips?
Job: Rugby player
Lives: Limerick, Ireland
Conor is a rugby player from Limerick, Ireland. He was part of the starting line-up for Love Island 2025, replacing Kyle Ashman who was axed after it was revealed that he was previously arrested for a machete attack. Ashman was released without further action.
Conor was originally in a couple with Helena Ford as the girls had to pick their partners based solely on their dating profiles, and she went for him. However, they didn't get on romantically and he moved onto Toni Laites. He then coupled up with bombshell Emily.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but with Emily away at The Sleepover, it sure looks like Conor is out to play...
How old is Conor?
Conor is 25-years-old, and will turn 26 in September.
What is Conor's star sign?
Conor was born on 7th September 1999, which makes him a virgo.
According to Cosmopolitan's Horoscopes writer, male virgos are "one of the hardest-working, ambitious signs of the zodiac, and when they turn their attention on you, it's like nothing else".
However, "at their worst, Virgo can be judgmental nit-pickers".
What team does Conor play for?
A former member of Munster's academy, Conor plays in the wing position and has gone on to play pro for Limerick's team Munster Rugby. He also competed in the All Ireland Leagues with Terenure College.
Does Conor have Instagram?
He does! You can follow him at cpeezy.
As of June 2025, he has 17.5k followers but this number is sure to grow as the season continues.
The athlete shares lots of game day pictures on his grid, as well as workout snaps and lots of pics from festivals and outings with his mates. He loves a shirtless snap as well 👀
What is Conor looking for on Love Island?
Asked the type of Islander he'd like to couple up with, Conror said: "Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman."
Sounds a bit like Megan to me...
