ITV’s Frauds is about two former partners-in-crime who reunite for one last audacious heist after one of them is released from prison on compassionate grounds.
The synopsis for the series reads: “Bert and Sam embark on the most audacious of art thefts, gathering a talented team of outcasts to help them plan this audacious crime.
“Whilst the team must overcome numerous challenges before they can pull off the heist, it’s the power struggle between Bert and Sam that threatens to derail their plans and destroy them both.
“Set against the epic rolling hills of southern Spain and the dark criminal underbelly that casts a shadow over the glistening coast, Frauds is a complex and addictive story of friendship, deception and survival.”
It blends dark comedy with the cinematic heist genre, set against the scenic backdrop of southern Spain — but is it a true story?
When is Frauds on?
Frauds premiered at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
The series includes six episodes airing on consecutive Sunday and Monday nights over three weeks.
All episodes are also available on ITVX for streaming.
Is Frauds based on a true story?
Frauds is a work of fiction created by Suranne Jones and co-writer Anne-Marie O’Connor.
The plot revolves around Bert, who has been in a Spanish prison for ten years and is released due to a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Upon release, she reconnects with her former partner Sam to plan a multi-million-pound art heist.
While the series captures the feel of real criminal undertakings, it is not an adaptation of a true crime or real-life story.
What is the Frauds cast?
Frauds tells the story of Bert and Sam, whose toxic friendship will be pushed to the ultimate test.
Bert tries to lure her pal out of criminal retirement to pull off a multi-million-pound art heist.
Suranne Jones stars as Bert — the career criminal recently released from prison.

LOVE Island 2025 is coming to an end, with two old islanders returning to the fold in the penultimate week, before being booted off again — one of them for the second time this series.
With the drama continuing to simmer beneath the surface, we’re surely in for a heated conclusion to this year’s summer of love.

While she found romance with other Islanders, it also seemed like there was a potential reunion on the cards for the ex flames, although that never came to fruition.
On her exit, Emma said: “I feel fine.
“I had a good run and I left with my love interest, so I think it was the best way to go.”
Harrison Solomon

The love triangle that gripped and concerned the nation was the ultimate cause for Harrison leaving the villa.
The 22-year-old decided to leave the villa after he was unable to choose between Toni and Lauren, leaving them both in tears.
As a result, Women’s Aid issued a statement condemning his behaviour and criticising theITVreality show for perpetuating misogyny and sexism.

After the arrival of new bombshell Angel, the Islanders played the Couple of Sorts game, where they were asked to predict which three boys Angel would find the most attractive.
Conor was placed third, with Harry second and Ty coming out on top.
Ty then received a text telling him that he had been coupled up with Angel, leaving Lauren single and, therefore, dumped from the villa.
Lauren’s time in the villa was cut short, but managed to find herself tangled up in the love triangle with Toni and Harrison.
Lucy Quinn

While Lucy managed to outlast many of her fellow Casa Amor entrants.
But her time in the villa came to an end in yet another twist.
Lucy was dumped alongside new beau Tommy after Shakira and Ty decided they were the least compatible couple…
Tommy Bradley

Tommy was another OG boy brutally dumped from the villa after another couple believed him and Lucy to be the least compatible couple.
Reflecting on his Love Island journey, Tommy said he is “really proud” to have put himself outside of his comfort zone and is “grateful for the opportunity”.
The 22-year-old’s exit from the villa definitely made an impact, considering he was one of the last remaining original boys.
Ben Holbrough

Ben fell foul of the OG exodus, after leaving in a brutal twist.
The 23-year-old found himself dumped as one half of the latest least compatible couple.
He said in his exit interview: “A lot of the older guys in there spoke to me and helped me deal with situations better.
I’m definitely coming out of the Villa a better person.
In her short stint, Andrada managed to find herself in the dramaCredit: Shutterstock Editorial
After Ben and Andrada received the fewest votes from the public, their time in the villa was over, and while Andrada’s time was short-lived, it didn’t come without its fireworks.
The Miss Bikini Ireland 2019 winner entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell and tempted Ben.
But just as she finished unpacking, the Irish beauty was sent packing.
At least she won’t have to worry about an airport transfer with her new private hire taxi driver beau.
The Casa Amor Fallen
Emily Moran

Emily was a pre-existing Love Islander before Casa Amor, but found herself single after Tommy’s head was turned.
Lucy caught his eye, and Emily did not manage to find a connection with anyone new, leaving her at risk of being dumped.
Reflecting on how it felt to be leaving the villa, Emily said: “I had the best time. I don’t feel sad about leaving, it was my time to go. I stayed true to myself. I wouldn’t change it for the world!”
Giorgio Russo

Giorgio didn’t have long in the villa and his decision to remain single after Casa Amor only backfired as he was then dumped from the Island.
He said: “I had the best time. I don’t feel sad about leaving, it was my time to go. I stayed true to myself. I wouldn’t change it for the world!”
Giorgio’s summer holidays did not end there as he immediately flew out to Switzerland to support Lioness sister Alessia in her bid for back-to-back Euro glory.
Rheo Parnell

Rheo had a connection with Harry in Casa Amor but he chose to recouple with Helena, which meant Rheo was single and therefore dumped.
Asked how it felt to be leaving the villa, Rheo said: “It feels bittersweet, I think I was led astray slightly by Harry.
“But who’s going to be shocked by that really, Harry’s going to be Harry! I don’t think anyone should trust him.”
Yas Broom

Yas time in the villa came to an abrupt end when no one chose to recouple with her in Casa Amor.
The Manchester-based DJ and former X Factor contestant was another victim of the brutal Casa Amor.
“It feels a bit surreal,” she said when asked how it felt to leave the villa.
“I feel like it definitely went really quick, I wish I had a bit longer in there. I made some great connections!”
Chris Middleton

Unfortunately for Chris, none of the girls chose to recouple with him.
He told ITV: “We all go in there looking for a spark and a connection and you know quite quickly if you’ve found that. While people were saying it was wide open, there were quite a few girls that were sticking with their original boys. Grateful for the experience.
“Met a great group of lads and spent time in the main villa so you can’t turn your nose up at that, I just wish it was for longer.”
Martin Enitan

Martin was the second Casa Amor boy to not be chosen to return to the main villa, and was dumped from the Island.
He said: “[I feel] gutted obviously but still grateful for the experience.
“Even if it didn’t work out, overall it was great to know everyone because they were mad lovely.”
Alima Gagigo

Fans were gutted by the exit of OG Alima, who was sent packing after failing to make a romantic connection with Remell.
As one of the originals, she failed to make it to Casa Amor, and meet a potential new connection.
Alima said upon her exit: “It’s a mix of emotions, I’ve been there since the start, so it’s bittersweet, but at the same time, I just can’t wait to wear no makeup for days and weeks now!”
Ryan Bannister

Having only just arrived in the villa, it’s safe to say Ryan’s dumping was slightly overshadowed by the exit of long-standing islander Alima.
Ryan entered the villa as a bombshell alongsideBillykiss Azeezand set his sights onToni Laitesand Shakira, however he failed to turn heads and was dumped after just 48 hours.
Still, it appears the late arrival enjoyed his time in Majorca, saying: “Being in the villa and seeing it first-hand was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As short as it was, it was still amazing.”
Remell Mullins

The public were tasked with choosing their favourite boy and girl in the villa, but in a brutal twist it turned out that the islanders with the lowest votes would be sent home.
Remell ended up being revealed as the man with the fewest votes, behind Ben and Harry.
Earlier in the week, Alima had ended things with Remell after she discovered he had repeatedly kissed bombshell Poppy while on the sleepover.
Karma is real…
Megan Clarke

Megan was another victim of the public vote which saw Remell leave the villa.
It emerged she had received the fewest votes when the viewers had been asked to pick their favourite boy and girl, with her receiving the least out of her, Shakira and Toni.
It had been a dramatic week after Megan built a connection with Conor, leading to the end of things with Tommy, with whom she had seemed to be in a secure couple.
After the bottom three were revealed to be her, Shakira and Toni, it was confirmed that she would be the one packing her bags.
But her exit was only temporary as she returned for the final week.
Shea Mannings

The exit of Shea was the biggest shock of the night.
After Helena, Dejon, Emily and Remell had all been chosen by the new bombshells to enter the sleepover villa, they were then told by Maya to choose if they wanted to stick in their current couple or recouple.
The former cabin crew hostess, Helena, was the only one who decided to recouple, choosing Lioness Alessia Russo’s bombshell brother, Giorgio.
The decision left Shea single, and after receiving a text telling the semi-professional footballer that his time was up, he knew he was not getting any extra time in the villa.
After leaving, the dad-of-one shared his thoughts on his relationship with Helena.
He said: “I think it was more of a friendship to be honest, so she was probably correct to make her decision.
“It was just a friend thing but we were going to explore it anyway.”
He added: “Obviously you never know, but as soon as I found out I was single, I kind of knew my time was up. I was just gutted.”
Caprice Alexandra

Caprice was one of two blonde bombshells to have entered the villa to shake up the couples.
However, the 26-year-old nursery owner was sent back to Romford after Dejon decided to stick with his partner Meg.
But after leaving the villa, Caprice did not hold back about the reason she left.
She said: “I expected it. From the beginning I felt like he knew what he was going to do.
“I think he’s playing a bit of a game though, but I expected it from him.”
Poppy Harrison

As the second of our blonde bombshells to enter the villa in recent days, Poppy chose to try and steal Remell.
She invited the influencer to the sleepover villa, but failed to win him over.
Instead Remell chose to stay coupled with Alima, leaving Poppy single.
After leaving the villa, Poppy was confused on why she had been dumped.
The bombshell said: “[I am] shocked and surprised.
“I feel like Remell perhaps didn’t go with his true feelings, he said less than 12 hours before on the truth or dare game that he’d recouple with me, and he wanted to take things further.”
Will Means

Will was yet another bombshell who made an early exit.
The Norfolk-born and bred fitness trainer and farmer chose to swoon Emily.
But while Will means well, he was no match for 25-year-old Irish rugby player Conor.
Emily chose to stick with Conor, leaving Will single.
Malisha Jordan

It had been a relatively calm week ahead of Wednesday’s night mass axing.
The 24-year-old teaching assistant was a late arrival to the villa.
She had tried to win the heart of Dejon, who decided to stay coupled with original beau Meg, leaving Malisha single.
She was not alone after Toni had also been left single in a dramatic recoupling.
However, the choice came down to 22-year-old Harrison Solomon to decide the girls’ fate.
Malisha’s time in the villa came to an end after Harrison decided to save Toni.
Sophie Lee
On June 11, 2025, former fire-breather Sophie Lee was dumped in a brutal twist, making her the first islander to leave the villa.

The 29-year-old was evicted from the villa after newly-single Shakira Khan picked Harry Cooksley, sending Sophie home immediately.
The previous night, Shakira had found herself single after bombshell Toni Laites, 24, picked to couple up with Ben Holbrough, leaving Shakira to graft all with all the coupled-up boys.
Maya Jama returned to the villa, revealing the shock twist that the lads could nominate themselves to recouple with Shakira.
While originally also meant to feature Kyle Ashman, the 23-year-old was axed from the show days before the launch after it was revealed that he was wrongly suspected to be involved in a machete attack.
Here’s who remains in the villa.

How to watch Love Island 2025?
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
Maya Jama returns in her third year of hosting the show, after starting on the show in 2023, with the reality show filmed on the Spanish island of Majorca.
AN entrepreneur whose clients include former contestants on the show has passed the audition to join the cast of Love Island 2025.
Here’s what we know about Rose Selway, who could be looking for love in the latest series of the nation’s favourite dating show.

The 24-year-old beauty salon owner from Devon has passed the audition to join the cast of Love Island 2025.
With her background in the beauty industry, Rose would be somewhat of a breath of fresh air on the show — a change from the usual array of models and influencers.
Her entrepreneurial spirit and business experience could make her a formidable presence in the villa.
However, as of June 2, 2025, it has not been confirmed exactly if or when Rose will enter the Love Island villa.
She has opened up about her own plastic surgery, which includes a nose job and botox.
‘It’s my whole world’
Rose said of her company: “Aesthetics isn’t just my job, it’s my whole world.
“I absolutely love it and adore every single one of you I meet day in and day out.
“The confidence I bring you all makes me burst with joy.”

Although Rose is ready to enter the show after passing the Love Island audition process, the show’s bosses are yet to make their final decision on the starting line-up.
A source told MailOnline: “Rose is friends with many former stars of the show so has a good idea what it’s like being in the villa and now she finally has the chance to experience it herself.”

Results revealed
As for when the results will be revealed, after voting closes (which is about 40 minutes after the final performance), the results are announced in two main stages.
First, each participating country’s jury points are announced by a national spokesperson.
These points range from one to eight, then 10, and finally 12 points awarded to their top ten acts.
After the jury points are revealed, the combined public televote from each country and the Rest of the World is announced.
This televote dramatically adds to each act’s total score. The winner is the act that achieves the highest combined total of jury and public points.
The results are usually revealed between 11.15pm and midnight, following the conclusion of voting and the interval acts.
