Following

villa
after
all.
Days
before
its
scheduled
season
12
premiere,
the
reality
dating
series
announced
that
the
23-year-old
won’t
be
among
the
hopefuls
looking
for
love
in
Mallorca,
Spain,
despite
previously
being
unveiled
as
a
member
of
the
summer
2025
cast.
“For
personal
reasons,”
ITV
said
in
a
statement
obtained
by
Deadline
June
3,
“Kyle
will
not
be
entering
the Love
Island Villa
as
planned.”
Earlier
this
year,
Ashman
was
one
of
two
people
arrested
on
suspicion
of
being
involved
in
a
machete
attack
at
a
wake
in
Stafford,
England,
The
Sun
reported.
However,
a
spokesperson
for
the
Staffordshire
Police
told
the
outlet
both
suspects
in
the
February
incident
were
released
after
being
questioned
and
no
further
action
was
taken.
Following
the
report,
Ashman
denied
any
involvement
in
the
matter
and
maintained
his
innocence.
“I
fully
cooperated
with
this
police
investigation
and
made
it
very
clear
that
I
had
no
involvement
in
this
incident,”
he
told
Deadline.
“I
am
not
a
violent
person,
and
any
suggestion
otherwise
is
a
mischaracterization.”
