ITV Confirm "Love Island: All Stars"

ITV Confirm New "Love Island: All Stars", but Who do You Want to See Return to the Villa?

If you've been wondering what will fill that "Love Island"-shaped hole in your TV schedule, then you're bound to be thrilled with the latest reality TV news. ITV confirmed on 5 Sept. that it has commissioned an all stars edition of the show in place of the Winter "Love Island" series. It will take place in the South African villa in early 2024, but instead of a new batch of Islanders, it will see some familiar faces from seasons past looking for a second chance at finding love.

"After 10 ratings busting seasons of Love Island on ITV2, we're delighted to be able to celebrate a decade of the number one dating show on television with the first ever series of Love Island: All Stars," Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions and Controller, said in a press release. "Set in our luxurious South African Villa, I know the audience will welcome back some of the most iconic UK Islanders, as they set out in pursuit of love all over again in a brand new version of our worldwide hit."

This new format is the latest spinoff from the "Love Island" franchise. It was confirmed earlier this summer that "Love Island Games" will also be taking to our screens, albeit commissioned by US channel Peacock rather than ITV. Presented by Maya Jama and her lust-worthy wardrobe, no doubt, it will see past contestants from the UK, US, and Australian versions battle in a series of games in Fiji. Plus, Davina McCall hosts ITV's "My Mum, Your Dad" which has been dubbed "Love Island" for grown-ups as parents, nominated by their children, head to a villa to find love.

Only one couple will be crowned the next winners of "Love Island: All Stars" following Jess and Sammy's win this summer, but who could they be? We've already seen two former Islanders slo-mo walk through those iconic villa doors once again. Kady McDermott, who originally appeared in series two in 2016, returned this summer for the tenth series, but failed to find love. While Adam Collard, who gained a reputation as a bit of a player in series four in 2018, returned in summer 2022 and coupled up with Paige Thorne. But their connection didn't last for long outside of the villa.

Could we see Megan Barton-Hanson from series four make a raunchy return? Perhaps Dr Alex will be looking for love again? Or maybe Maura Higgins will take the lead in coupling up with a former Islander? Read on to see some of the Islanders we'd love to make a comeback.

"Love Island" Series: 4, 2018

Known for: The former glamour model arrived on the reality show as a bombshell and showed her softer side. She coupled up with Wes Nelson and reached the final, but they couldn't make things last on the outside. Now, she's made a career from reality shows and her OnlyFans account.

"Love Island" Series: 5, 2019

Known for: The basketball player arrived in Casa Amor and impressed the girls with his good looks and laidback attitude. He reached the final with India Reynolds but, as far as we can tell, is still single.

"Love Island" Series: 5, 2019

Known for: The Irish beauty became a fan-favourite after talking about her "f*nny flutters" on the show. She made a beeline for Tommy Fury (although is now best mates with Molly-Mae Hague) before making a u-turn and coupling up with Curtis Pritchard. The pair split months after leaving the show and Higgins has carved out a TV career for herself, most recently signing up as social host of "Love Island USA". She has confirmed she is in a relationship with Chris Hemsworth's stunt double, but we can still hope she has some kind of role in "Love Island: All Stars".

"Love Island" Series: 3, 2017

Known for: Essex-born Cetinay won "Love Island" in 2017 with Amber Davies, but the couple split a few months later. The barber has since opened a restaurant in Essex, had multiple clothing lines with Primark, and was the backstage presenter on "Dancing on Ice". His cheeky personality is just what the reality show needs.

"Love Island" Series: 1, 2015

Known for: Getting engaged on the show! She was coupled up with Jon Clark who sensationally proposed during the final episode, but the pair were not able to go the distance on the outside. The Liverpudlian is now a mum of one and has a healthy career on OnlyFans, but we'd love to see her back in the villa.

"Love Island" Series: 4, 2018

Known for: Dr Alex has been praised for using his platform for good. After failing to find love on the reality show, he went back to work in the NHS before becoming a regular spokesperson on mental health following the death of his younger brother by suicide in 2020. The government appointed him the Youth Mental Health Ambassador to help shape and guide policies surrounding mental health in young people.

"Love Island" Series: 4, 2018

Known for: Her "loyal" catchphrase became the talk of the series as unlucky-in-love Steel couldn't quite find that connection. She's appeared on a number of reality shows since leaving the villa including "Celebs Go Dating" and "Celebrity Coach Trip". She was previously engaged to "Ibiza Weekender" star Callum Izzard, who proposed after just one month of dating, but they split in 2020.

"Love Island" Series: 8, 2022

Known for: He was the controversial Islander of the 2022 series who stuck by Gemma Owen throughout, but after an extravagant girlfriend proposal, the two went their separate ways. He's most recently appeared on "Celebrity Masterchef" so is in the market for more TV appearances . . .

"Love Island" Series: 7, 2021

Known for: Her friendship with Liberty Poole was the real winner of the 2021 series. The pair had each other's back throughout the series and have since launched a podcast together. While she didn't find love in the villa, we'd love her to have a second chance on the show and brighten up the place with her infectious smile.

"Love Island" Series: 7, 2021

Known for: He came second on the show with Chloe Burrows, and fans genuinely thought they would last, but it was not meant to be. His indecisiveness and immaturity saw him grown on the reality show, so we'd be interested to see how he deals with life in the villa a second time around.
