Love Island All Stars returned in 2025, here's everyone who was on the second series.
After the success of the first-ever Love Island All Stars, which saw Molly Smith and Tom Clare win, ITV brought the show back for a second series.
Producers unveiled an incredible cast, including a former couple, an ex of Maura Higgins and even a former married contestant.
Speculation about the lineup was rife months before the show began, with series five fan favourite Ovie Soko having to shut down rumours early on. He hilariously said on X: "I’m never going on Love Island All Stars, love the show but I’m 33 guys. I am your uncle now."
With that said, who was part of the group escaping the January blues to find love in South Africa? Here's the full lineup...
Talking about his famous coffee chat with Amy Hart on his original season, Curtis has said: "In hindsight, if I do find a girl this time, I will perhaps cuddle her in bed rather than make coffee… so Amy taught me a lesson."
He's in the villa now because: "I feel like I’m in a different stage in my life. The idea of settling down is a serious idea in my life right now."
The lovely Nas has said he had "so much fun the time around" and is hoping the show can "come through again" an find him a girl after he and Eva Zapico dated for four years after season 6.
On what he's looking for he said: "Someone who can make me laugh… although I feel like I laugh at everything! Someone kind, considerate, and caring - it’s fundamental stuff."
Eight years after he first appeared on Love Island, Scott has returned for another shot at love. Scott has said he's "been on a massive journey over the last five years" including sobriety and self development.
He said: "When I last went into the Villa I was still a bit of a boy… I feel like I really know who I am. It might sound cheesy, but I’m ready to settle down and I’ve never been open to saying those words. Where better than Love Island?"
Now she is getting close to her thirties, Olivia has said she's ready to find a man.
On what she'll do differently this time around, she said: "I think I’ll throw myself into the love part more than I did before. I’d like to really give it a chance."
"After the last time in the Villa, I feel a lot more mature. I’ve learned a lot of lessons since being in the Villa," Luca has said.
He said he's looking for a girl who he feels he can be himself with. He explained: "I want to feel free and not be worried about what that person thinks of me. I want someone who accepts me for who I am."
The dad-of-one who is currently going through a divorce has explained why he's back on the show: "I thought that I’d completed love and found my happily ever after – but the universe had a different plan.
"Somehow every time my life’s at a crossroads, I’ve got the opportunity to do Love Island. So I thought, why not?"
Explaining why she's returning to the show, Gabby said: "Because it’s the trenches out there! I feel like I have all my ducks in a row, it has been 8 years since I went in to the Villa.
"I now run my businesses and I’ve grown up a lot… but I just haven’t found ‘the one’ yet."
Now she's a more mature woman, Kas has said her type has changed and time around she's looking for someone "emotionally intelligent".
She said: "I’m older now so my type has changed a lot. I'm looking for someone who is emotionally intelligent and good at communication. I'm looking for a man not a boy.
"I’m looking for a life partner, someone to share amazing life experiences with, someone that wants to reciprocate the same love that I'm ready to give."
Last year's show inspired Elma to give All Stars a go as she said: "I want to have fun and I want to give it a proper go this time, my time was cut short the first time round and who knows, I could be the next Sophie [Piper] and Josh [Ritchie] or Molly [Smith] and Tom [Clare]!"
Elma has says she likes a "dad bod" adding: "I just want a normal geezer, really. Ideally, I’d like to find someone who isn’t shallow, has strong family values, and a real sense of drive and ambition."
On why she's in the villa again, India has said: "I’ve been single for two and a half years and I think it’s time to settle down. I don’t put any effort into dating and I don't really like meeting people from apps so I’m looking forward to getting to know people in the villa."
This time round she said she's happy to not be going in as a bombshell, explaining: "I’m looking forward to making friends with everyone from the beginning too."
Catherine is heading back to the villa for a second chance at finding love after she didn't find a connection on the show last year. She's said she's looking for, "someone that doesn't lie, someone loyal that is very caring and will make their world about me."
The 24 year old has cited Emma and Matt Willis as her relationship goals, she said: "Their love story isn’t perfect so that’s why I like them, they show that it takes work to build a strong relationship."
Finally, but certainly not least is Ronnie who appeared on the latest series of the show and became known as a bit of a ladies man.
"I do feel like I’ve grown up and wised up - even in this short space of time. I’m more mature to know what I want," he's said. This time he says he's not looking to be in so many "triangles".
Ekin came in as the first bombshell of the series. Announcing her return on X, she said: "Alright, I know I said I was done with Love Island, but here I am, fully invested again".
She added: "The drama, the chaos, the questionable decisions, I just can’t stay away. Consider me officially back on Love Island."
Casey arrived as the second bombshell of the series after appearing on All Stars last year.
Speaking about his return to the villa for a third time, Casey said: "Getting to go in within the first few days of the show I feel like I’ve got such a big opportunity to find someone and hopefully come out of the Villa potentially with a girlfriend."
Tina is the third bombshell of the series, arriving in the villa nearly a decade after her first Love Island stint.
On why she's back for another go she said: "It was the best experience that I've ever had, it made me learn about myself and grow. I was quite a shy person, so to put myself in that environment was very outside of my comfort zone, but I made friends for life."
She added that this time around she'd like to find a man too.
According to a tabloid insider Ron was approached for the All Stars series shortly after his split with Lydia Karakyriakou, a relationship he hasn't claimed while in the villa.
They said: "He’s ready to throw himself back into the Love Island experience and see if sparks fly with someone new.”
Grace was one of the first islanders rumoured to be going into All Stars. On the rumours, she told Goss.ie that she had been approached to appear on the show, saying: "I can't confirm or deny, I have been approached for it but it's just kinda seeing the timeline of work and whether it works for me."
Grace added, she'd "never say no" to doing the show completely, and now she's back and says she's looking for a "man".
Ready to shake things up between Ronnie and Elma, Harriett walked in as a bombshell during a blind folded kiss challenge.
With his eyes set on Catherine and Kaz, Montel returned for another go in the Love Island villa.
Coming from one of the most iconic seasons of Love Island history is Danielle. Since her first stint, eight years ago, Danielle says she feels "more confident" in herself.
She said: "I’m more mature and I’ve grown up a lot since last time so I’ve learnt a lot.
"I was a lot younger going in the first time, I was 21! I entered during Casa Amor and lots of the boys were in strong couples! Eight years on, I’m older and know what I want, so I’m going to just go for it!"
Despite winning his season with Jess Harding, Sammy is a single man again and ready to give the dating show another go.
Omar was first on season 11 of Love Island in summer 2024, so he'll be coming face to face with fellow season 11 star Grace. Despite leaving the show single last year, his connection Grace ruffled feathers both in and out of the villa after flirting with Grace while she was coupled up with Joey Essex.
After they were respectively dumped from Love Island, with Grace leaving with then-partner Reuben Collins, some fans believed Omar and Grace went on to date after Omar left a flirty comment on one of her pictures on Instagram. He wrote: "The type of woman empires used to go to war for."
Omar was a PE teacher before joining Love Island last year, but now appears to be a full time influencer.
Chuggs entered the villa already knowing Casey O'Gorman. While he didn't know any of the girls he quickly found himself in the middle of Danielle Sellers and Tina Stinnes.
On what he's looking for he's said: "My ideal is someone that is sure of themselves, has awesome friends - I’m always organising the next activity, I like bringing groups of friends together so I’d like to gel her friends with mine - and someone who has good morals, good family values and doesn’t take themselves too seriously."
Samie returned to the villa after her split from her Love Island beau Tom Clare and her split from TOWIE's Harry Lee. She went it with her eyes on Luca, which quickly descended into chaos.
Before going on the show she said: "I don't want to settle down, have kids and get married right away. I want to find someone I can have fun with and make memories with, so settling down will come later for me. I’d like someone fun and ambitious and I want to build an empire with my partner."
