The highly anticipated Love Island All Stars has officially announced its returning cast, gearing up for another thrilling season of romance and drama. Set to launch on January 13, the newest installment of the beloved ITV2 franchise features fan-favorites eager to return to the villa for their second chance at love.
Returning to host the show is Maya Jama, who first helmed the All Stars edition last year, witnessing the irresistible mix of laughter, tears, and scandal as past islanders reunited. The show has proven to be a runaway success with its addictive cocktail of emotions, and fans are eager for more.
This season, Curtis Pritchard, known for his previous stint on the show, is making headlines after recently splitting with partner Sophie Sheridan. The reality star, who first appeared on Love Island back in 2019, is reportedly thrilled about his return to the island. According to The Sun, Curtis has already flown out to South Africa, excited about the potential for romance after his breakup.
A source close to Curtis revealed, “Curtis split from Sophie a few weeks ago after the pair decided they were just friends. The romance had run its course... It came at the right time, as Love Island bosses were also desperate to get him back on the show for All Stars.” With ample enthusiasm, Curtis is eager to seize what he describes as “a no-brainer” opportunity to find love again.
Joining Curtis on this season's lineup are other beloved contestants, including series ten’s Catherine Agbaje, series five star Elma Pazar, and series three islander Gabby Allen. Also on the list are Ronnie Vint from series eleven, India Reynolds, Luca Bish, and Marcel Somerville, alongside Nas Majeed and Olivia Hawkins, creating quite the smorgasbord of familiar faces returning to the villa.
Scott Thomas, who initially paired with Kady McDermott during the show’s second season, has expressed his readiness to settle down, stating, “When I first went to the villa, I was still a bit of a boy... I feel like I finally know who I am.” His focus on sobriety, personal growth, and self-development highlights the potential seriousness many contestants are bringing to this year's series.
While excitement mounts, Curtis has taken the time to reflect on his past relationships, particularly with fellow islanders. “I haven’t found my true love... so I thought, let’s give it another go,” Curtis said, showcasing his readiness for another round of romantic pursuit. His desire for love is evident as he recalls his initial time on the show, admitting, “It was great fun last time; a lot of emotions,” and hopes to leave the villa with someone special.
Among the returning personalities, Kaz Crossley expressed her delight about reuniting with fellow contestants, hoping for surprises from the experience, especially as she hasn’t mingled with familiar faces for quite some time. Her enthusiasm reflects the overall excitement about potential romantic sparks and rekindling friendships.
Fans are enthusiastically speculating about how these past relationships might evolve or rekindle during the season. Curtis’ return is particularly poignant as it coincides closely with his breakup, raising questions about how former flames will interact under the intense pressure of the villa environment.
Interestingly, Curtis has shared posts on Instagram indicating he was still residing in the UK prior to his departure. Evidence of his ties with friends has surfaced, putting some fans on high alert as they piece together the timelines surrounding his All Stars participation. Nevertheless, now as Curtis prepares for love on camera, the excitement for his return is palpable.
With Love Island All Stars set to kick off on January 13, the anticipation is building around who will find love, who might fall dramatically, and how the dynamics among past couples will play out. Fans of the series are ever-curious about how returning contestants will navigate their storied pasts, coupled with their aims for new romances.
