Love Island: All Stars is heating up as bombshells Danielle Sellers and Sammy Root stir the pot by breaking up existing couples, reigniting excitement among fans and fueling drama within the villa.
This dramatic turn of events unfolded during the latest episode, which aired on January 29, 2025—marking the aftermath of the show's recently impactful triple dumping of Kaz Crossley, Montel McKenzie, and Nas Majeed. Joining the cast with their own unique history, Danielle and Sammy entered the villa ready to make waves.
Tasked with stealing members from existing couples, the new arrivals made their selections, creating immediate tension. Sammy Root, who gained fame after winning the tenth season of Love Island with Jess Harding, chose to couple up with Elma Pazar, adding drama to Elma's previous relationship with Ronnie Vint.
Meanwhile, Danielle’s choice sparked intense conversations among the Islanders. She opted to couple up with Curtis Pritchard, who was previously involved with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. The fallout from this choice was palpable. Ekin-Su, visibly shaken, expressed her shock with few words, stating she had “no comment” on the sudden shift. The emotional dynamics rapidly shifted as other Islanders gathered to console her, with Ekin-Su indicating she might exit the villa altogether.
Curtis, unfazed by the reactions, confidently declared, “I’m a big boy, I can deal with any blowback,” proving he feels prepared for the ensuing drama. His statement only intensified expectations from viewers eager for the romantic entanglements to unravel.
Fans of the show echoed this sentiment online, with many praising Danielle for her bold moves. One user expressed their enthusiasm on X/Twitter, stating, "Danielle went from being an unknown to being the best bombshell this season #LoveIsland #LoveIslandAllStars.” Another follower chimed, "Call the fire brigade, the love island villa is about to go off #LoveIslandAllStars #LoveIsland," illustrating the anticipation sparked by such twists.
Outside the villa's walls, former Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti is also capturing attention with his new romance. Since his victory alongside Ekin-Su back in 2022, he has made strides away from the show. Recently, he has been seen with Iris, his new partner, with whom he celebrated the Lunar New Year. Davide shared glimpses of their time together through heartfelt photos posted on Instagram, including one from the Hsi Lai Temple in Los Angeles, highlighting their joyful festivities.
The Instagram post featured images of Davide and Iris smiling together, as well as Davide appearing contemplative with his palms together at the temple. Captioning the photos, Davide shared, "Happy Lunar New Year! #JanuaryDump," prompting Iris to respond sweetly with, "Happy New Year Baby." This glimpse of their relationship reflects the new chapters both he and Ekin-Su seem to be pursuing.
Additional snaps depicted Davide enjoying the Sundance Film Festival, where he was photographed near the Egyptian Theatre, appearing comfortably coupled with Iris. It’s clear to fans he has moved on, even as speculation flared about whether he might return to the villa as some fans jokingly suggested. Many seemed nostalgic, yearning for his presence back on the island, commenting, “All we need is Davide to go in” or “Send in Davide.”
This season’s drama continues to evolve, surprising both the cast and viewers alike. With the bombshells made during the recent episodes, coupled with Davide’s newfound romance, the dynamics within Love Island: All Stars are set for continued upheaval.
Stay tuned as the show progresses, as the potential for more shocking twists and heartbreak looms, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
