Who Is Helena, Love Island UK Season 12?
Helena Ford is one of the original contestants who entered the Love Island UK season 12 villa. She’s 29 years old, making her the oldest girl among this year’s Islanders. Helena is well known for her bold personality and direct way of speaking, which has caught everyone’s attention since day one.
Helena worked as a cabin crew member for British Airways. She joined the airline in 2018, racking up air miles before quitting her job to find love on TV. Her years of experience travelling show in her confidence and the ease with which she handles villa drama.
Helena from Love Island UK Season 12 is from London, England, where she lives and calls herself a “London girl”. However, she also has roots in Devon and has spoken about following Devon traditions. A true traveller, she’s posted pictures from all over the world on her social media, showing off her love for new places.
On Instagram, Helena shared a post from her trip to Lake Como, Italy. In the photo, she is enjoying the beautiful summer scenery. Her caption, “Euro summer IT,” shows that she is having a fun and relaxing time on her European holiday.

Their relaxed and mature attitude has been noticed by viewers, who say it matches Helena’s own grounded nature.
The official Love Island Instagram page posted a reel showing a heartwarming moment when Helena’s parents visited her in the villa.
