There’s just no stopping the drama going down in this year’s Love Island. We've had ex-girlfriends enter the villa, Harrison Solomon's dramatic love triangle with Toni Laites and Lauren Wood, and an 'AI robot' in the form of Yasmin Pettet.

Branded an 'elite islander' by Iain Stirling after arriving in week three, Yasmin - lovingly nicknamed YasGPT by fans for her perfect posture and deadpan delivery - has fast become a fan favourite.

Initially making a beeline for Tommy Bradley, she rendezvoused with Harry and Ben Holbrough - before finally finding love with Casa boy Jamie Rhodes. The couple seem to be going from strength to strength, heading out for a sweet paddle-boarding date.

Now a fan fave who very well might find her way to the final, here's everything we know about Yasmin - including her job, where she's from, and her secret twin...

Who is Yasmin Pettet?

Yasmin Pettet started out as one of the Love Island 2025 bombshells. She entered the villa on 13 June, alongside Malisha Jordan and Emily Moran. While both Malisha and Emily were dumped, Yas is currently coupled up with Jamie. Having met in Casa Amor, Yas recently branded him the 'golden retriever to my black cat.'

Outside of the villa, self-described ‘CEO of flirting’ Yas enjoys spending time in the gym and doing Pilates.

How old is Yasmin Pettet?

Yasmin is currently 24 years old, and it appears her birthday is sometime around last February. For our Astrology fans, this would make her an intuitive and emotional Pisces.

What does Yasmin Pettet do?

Yasmin currently works as a commercial banking executive. According to Google, this kind of job typically involves managing and overseeing various aspects of a bank's lending and helps clients with their financial needs. Brains and beauty!

Where is Yasmin Pettet from?

Yasmin is based in London.

What is Yasmin's ethnicity?

Ahead of going into the villa, all islanders take part in an official Love Island audio described video where they describe what they look like. It was during this video that Yasmin revealed she is half English and half Persian.

Yasmin also revealed her height in the video, adding that she is 5 ft 5.

What type of guy is Yasmin looking for?

Yasmin’s Mr Right is someone who looks after himself physically and can make her laugh. ‘I’m looking for a guy who is fit, has a nice body and who is funny with a bit of banter,’ she says. He also has to be generous, as her biggest turn-off is ‘a guy that’s stingy’.

Who has Yasmin Pettet been coupled up with?

While her sights were initially set on Tommy, Yasmin was first paired with fellow bombshell Shea Mannings, before having a connection with Dejon Noel-Williams and sharing three secret kisses with Harry Cooksley in the Hideaway.

What happened between Yas and Ben?

During her second re-coupling, Yas ended up paired with Ben Holbrough.

However, it soon came to a rocky end after she learnt from Shakira that Ben was planning to end their romance. Pulling him to the fireplace, things grew tense - with Ben quickly sending some misogynistic vibes her way, telling her that 'no man wants you here.' Standing her ground, Yas simply replied, 'Waste my money, waste whatever, don't f*cking waste my time.'

Of course, Yas didn't let it drag her down. Following a short but sweet romance with Giorgio Russo, Yas entered Casa Amor freshly coupled up with Conor Phillips. However, she soon fell head over heels for Jamie - with the couple still going strong.

'Yas's journey from Harry's mistress to Jamie's wife is everything to me,' gushed one fan on X (formerly Twitter.) Another laughed 'That's the first time I've seen Yas drop the AI aura... it's official, Jamie is the one.'

Is Yasmin Pettet an AI robot?

Yes, you read that right.

Given her impressively straight posture and lack of facial expressions, Yas's deadpan delivery has left fans convinced that she's an AI robot planted by producers. The shock rumours was sparked following a video of Yas blinking slowly by the firepit, before more videos of her sat bold upright surfaced.

Dubbing her 'YasGPT,' one fan wrote, 'Yas carries herself like she's a Sim.'

Of course, Yas is very much a human. The nickname YasGPT, however, is here to stay.

Does Yasmin have a secret twin?

If one Yas wasn't enough for you, then you'll be thrilled to know there's two! Yas's twin Zarahas been going viral on Instagram for impersonating her sister, also hinting that she'll be heading to the villa for the show's 'meet the family' episode.

What is Yasmin Pettet’s Instagram?
