Jess Harding (Love Island 2023)

Jess Harding, often just called “Jess” in Love Island 2023, is from King’s Lynn and was working as an aesthetics practitioner in London before joining the show. She entered the villa at age 22 in June 2023, meaning she was born in 2001.

As of January 2026, she is 25 years old.

Other “Jess” Islanders (for clarity)

There are a few other Jesses in Love Island history, so it’s easy to mix them up:

• Jess White – Love Island 2024 contestant; she is 25 years old (born in 1999).

• Jessy Potts – Also in Love Island 2024; she is 25 years old and from Leicester.

• Jess Hayes – Winner of the very first Love Island (2015); she was 23 at the time and is now in her mid‑30s.

If the question is about the most recent “Jess” from the main UK series, it’s almost certainly Jess Harding from 2023, who is 25 now.
