Love Island: All Stars is back for an even bigger third series on ITV and ITVX this month, with Maya Jama at the helm of the match-making once again.

This batch of new All Stars will be jetting to the South African mansion for six weeks, as opposed to five, as these unlucky-in-love alums give the villa another go.

After a vintage summer for the show, which met its promise of more drama than ever before, the bar is high for Love Island to once again deliver, and they’ve roped in a cast to do just that.

Jama is hopeful the series will match the drama and romance, but with a twist, given that this lot have been through it all before. 

‘It definitely changes a lot because there can be presumptuous opinions when they see things online a lot, they will all have ideas of what they think the other Islanders are like already,’ said the host.

Love Island fans have applauded the line-up of the women in particular this series, with Megan writing on Instagram: ‘The girlies are serving’ and @Icy_Airport5541 echoing on Reddit: ‘I’m honestly excited for this. I hope they’re all messy and bring drama!!’

Jama added: ‘But no one knows someone until you spend time with them living in the Villa.’ So who will be moving into the villa? Let’s take a look. 

Whitney Adebayo 

Whitney Adebayo, 28, is from series 10 of Love Island and promises viewers you’ll ‘get the same person’ as her first stint. She just missed out on winning, but became a runner-up with Lochan Nowacki.

‘I’ve been out in the dating scene,’ she said. ‘The streets are cold. You might as well go and be warm. I feel like on Love Island you get to speed date and cut the nonsense. 

‘In real life you could talk for eight months and still be no wifey. Who has got time for that? In the villa, everything moves very quickly.’

Millie Court

Arguably the most famous face going in, former winner Millie Court, 29, took home the crown in series 7 with Liam Reardon.

On her return four years later, she said: ‘I feel the older I’ve got, I know myself a lot better. I’m a lot more comfortable in my own skin. 

‘When I was 24 I wasn’t so much. I am more confident this time. I feel like I know what I want. When it comes to coupling up I’m going to be a bit more strict and make sure I pick properly.’

Belle Hassan

Belle Hassan, 27, was on the infamous series 5 of Love Island, finishing in fifth place with Anton Danyluk – before splitting weeks later.

It sounds like she’s not going in to make any friends this year. ‘I hope I have good energy with the girls, but women have a tendency to hate me,’ she said. I’m always nice, but it’s normally boys I get on with.’

Belle added: ‘I feel like I’m ready to find me a husband!’

Helena Ford

Helena, 29, was a firecracker during last summer’s Love Island series – and she’s already heading back into the villa to definitely find a boyfriend this time.

She’s got a game plan: ‘I’ve got to go for the nice boys and not go for the menaces. That’s where I went wrong last time. 

‘And probably just not go to the hideaway so much or talk about the hideaway as much as I did – my poor mum!’

Jess Harding

Jess, 25, won Love Island on series 10 alongside Sammy Root, although their romance was short-lived.

‘Even though I ended up winning the series with Sammy, I felt like I had a bit of a rocky ride the first time and I feel like I’ve matured a lot more since,’ she said. 

‘I was 22, now I’m 25, I feel like every situation I’ve been in since then has been a lesson in knowing what I want and don’t want. I really want to meet someone and settle down.’

Leanne Amaning

Leanne Amaning, 28, was on series 6 of Love Island – otherwise known as the 2020 winter series in South Africa.

This time, she’s hoping to open up properly and get out of the dating trenches – she thinks the villa is necessary. ‘You have no social media, it kills love and relationships,’ she said. 

‘Everyone thinks there’s someone better, whereas in the villa you’re literally forced to be around each other, no ghosting! You’re free of distractions and forced to get to know someone quickly.’

Ciaran Davies

The 23-year-old was on series 11 of Love Island, finishing runner-up in 2024 with then-girlfriend Nicole Samuels, before the pair called it a day just months after leaving the villa.

Now he’s ready to settle down: ‘I’ve done a bit of dating whilst being single, clearly it hasn’t gone well for me! 

‘I’m giving Love Island a second shot and I want to find ‘the one’. I definitely have unfinished business with the villa!’

Jack Keating

The 26-year-old put his nepo baby foot forward – his dad is Ronan Keating – on his stint in series 8, which saw him enter the show in Casa Amor.

He said: ‘I feel like I have to come back and redeem myself, my experience before was short and sweet, I was in there for four days and I didn’t couple up with anyone, so it didn’t really go to plan. 

‘The revenge tour is here! I’ve been single for a year now and I’m looking for love.’

Now he’s going back in for a second helping. ‘I was a bit of a slow burner, trying to find my feet last time. Now, I know you can’t waste time in there. 

‘I’m just going to be who I am and not overthink things and just go for it. I’ll be more focused on finding love than friendships.’

Tommy Bradley

Tommy, 22, was last on our screens during series 12. He’s now joining former co-star Helena on All Stars.

‘I always just stay true to myself’ (Picture: ITV/Shutterstock)

He described the first stint as the best time of his life, so he’s ready for more and to prove people wrong.

‘I saw some people saying Tommy’s the ‘fake nice boy’. I want to prove to people that I’m always myself,’ he said. ‘I don’t listen to what other people think I should do. I don’t do what will get me the most views, I always just stay true to myself.’

Charlie Frederick

The 31-year-old is the oldest All Star heading back into the villa, from series 4, when he was only in for five days.

He already knows he will be playing it differently this time: ‘I won’t be as pally with the fellas and tell them when the girls are trying to talk to me! 

‘This time I’ll follow the path and not stop before I’ve even entertained it.’

Shaq Muhammad

Shaq, 27, is from series 9 of Love Island, when he and ex-girlfriend Tanya Manhenga finished as finalists, before going their separate ways in July last year.

On All Stars, he plans not to couple off quite as quickly. ‘I had a lot of fun last time round so I’m looking forward to enjoying it and hopefully meeting someone,’ he said.

‘Who doesn’t love a bit of sun in January!’ Too right.

Love Island: All Stars is back on ITV2 and ITVX this January 12.

  1. How I met spiritual basko and he helped me to save my six years relationship. Me and my girlfriend have been dating for the past six years and everything was moving smoothly with us. We were planning to get married the coming year. Me and my girlfriend were happy doing our things together not until she started acting funny toward me, Any time I ask her if I did her wrong she'll say NO. This continue for some weeks and one day she told me she was not interested in our relationship anymore as she told me I was shocked and heart broken. I beg her she says NO that everything is over between us. So after some months have gone by and I see I can't move on without her and I did some research and I came across lots of good testimonies about spiritual basko that was how I concluded that spiritual basko is the main man, I reach out to him and share my pains with him. After telling him everything he asked me for my name and that of my girlfriend's name. After some time he explained to me that my woman had been trapped by someone else with a voodoo charm as he told me. I then see why my woman wasn't acting now to me. Well the good thing is spiritual basko did all the necessary things that needed to be done. As I type right now my girlfriend and I are getting married this year. She's back to me and we are both staying happy together. You can contact spiritual basko Via: ,+2349078226804 OR Email: spiritualbasko@gmail.com
