Love Island All Stars brings back fan-favorite contestants for another shot at love, creating excitement among viewers eager to see who will couples up this time. The show, set to air from its glamorous South African villa, has quickly become the talk of the town as new bombshells enter the mix, shaking things up for the original cast.
Among the notable couples from previous seasons are reigning champions Molly Smith and Tom Clare. The pair, who fell head over heels for each other during the last season, have reportedly purchased a home together, showcasing their successful partnership. With their history of love, viewers are buzzed to see if others will follow suit and create lasting bonds this season.
The first significant twist of this season was the entrance of Chuggs Wallis, who returns to the villa after making only a brief appearance during his first stint back in 2021. Although he lasted just two days on Love Island then, Chuggs, also known as Oliver Wallis, aims to make his mark this time around. According to sources, Chuggs is excited to try for love again. "While Chuggs might not have made the biggest impact on the show, he’s part of the woodwork now and all the islanders will have met him out and about," the source explained to The Sun.
Chuggs, who was previously dumped when Rachel Finni chose to couple with Brad McClelland instead, expressed after his initial exit, "I’ve been single since my last appearance on the show. I feel like I’ve grown and developed so much as a person...I want to enter the next chapter." His friends from the villa, including Millie Court and Liam Reardon, are reportedly excited about his return, showing great enthusiasm and support for his mission at love.
Meanwhile, the drama only intensifies with the arrival of Samie Elishi, another popular islander. Samie first entered the villa during the ninth season and quickly established herself as someone who catches the attention of the boys. With her previous partnership with Tom Clare, who is now with Molly Smith, her arrival creates potential for rivalry. Samie shared her reasoning for returning: "I want to return because, who gets to do this twice? You think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so if you get offered to do it twice, you’ve got to do it again." Her high-energy entrance promises to bring excitement as she vies for attention among other contestants.
Samie has shown interest in Luca Bish, who is currently coupled up with Grace Jackson. She commented on her intentions, stating, "I feel like he’s very much a bit of me looks-wise...the game is the game, this is what happens." With her stunning looks and charismatic personality, Samie hopes to stir things up once again. The tension surrounding her arrival is heightened, especially with Ron Hall and Scott Thomas recently opting to leave the villa after struggling with their connections.
Scott and Ron's departures leave plenty of room for new sparks to fly, and ITV producers are counting on the new bombshells to revive the villa spirit. According to the producers, "Everyone is excited for Chuggs' round two," as they look forward to the dynamics shifting with the fresh arrivals.
The heat is on within this vibrant social experiment as viewers anticipate the iconic heart rate challenge. This playful competition showcases the islanders dressing up and performing sexy dances to see who can raise the heartbeat of others. Teasingly revealed during the show's latest episode, the heart rate challenge is sure to deliver both laughs and surprises, with returning favorites like Curtis Pritchard, who has become internet famous for his bold outfits.
Love Island All Stars 2025 is officially here, airing at 9 PM on ITV and available for streaming on ITVX. With familiar faces and dramatic new arrivals, the stage is set for unforgettable moments, love pursuits, and the quest for the perfect connection. Who will find their summer romance this time?
