Love Island, the hit dating show that has captivated millions of viewers since 2015, is back with a new twist: Love Island All Stars.
This spin-off series features 12 former contestants from previous seasons, who are looking for another shot at finding love in the villa.
The All Stars cast includes some familiar faces, such as Georgia Harrison, who has been campaigning for women’s safety after her ex Stephen Bear was jailed for posting intimate footage of her. She says she wants to have some fun and hopefully meet someone she can fall in love with.
Another returning islander is Kaz Kamwi, who came fourth in the 2021 series with Tyler Cruickshank. She is reunited with her best friend Liberty Poole, who also appeared in the same season. They both say they are more confident and sure about what they want from a relationship.
The other All Stars are Chris Taylor, Georgia Steele, Anton Danyluk, Hannah Elizabeth, Demi Jones, Jake Cornish, Luis Morrison, Mitchel Taylor and Toby Aromolaran. They all have different reasons for coming back, such as wanting to enjoy the experience again, finding a co-parent for their dog, or proving themselves as a loyal partner.
The show is hosted by Maya Jama, who also presented the recent Love Island Games, which saw islanders from around the world compete in challenges. The All Stars edition is filmed in South Africa, where the sixth series took place in 2020.
Love Island All Stars is the latest attempt to put a new spin on the format, after the regular winter edition was replaced. The show has faced competition from new rivals, such as BBC Three’s I Kissed a Boy, the UK’s first gay dating show, and scrutiny over its duty of care to contestants.
Will the All Stars find love this time around and join the Love Island winners list? Or will they face more drama and heartbreak in the villa? Find out tonight on ITV.
