Charlotte Crosby’s ex Joshua Ritchie has signed up to Love Island: All Stars as the show’s latest bombshell.
Joshua, 29, was one of the original Islanders in 2015 and has since made a name for himself on reality TV shows including Ex on the Beach and Celebs Go Dating – and because of his highly publicised romances.
He dated Geordie Shore star Charlotte, 33, for two years between 2017 and 2019 and fellow All Stars contestant Georgia Harrison, 29, who admitted she would be keen to couple up with him if he made an appearance.
Georgia was forced to deny speculation she was expecting her first baby with Joshua in 2022 after she was photographed at an event holding her stomach and joked on social media about becoming a mum.
Producers are hoping that Georgia will hit it off with Joshua after Chris Taylor, who she fancies, continues to pursue new arrival Molly Smith.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Joshua is the latest bombshell signing.
‘He has come on board very much at the last minute, which is exactly how the show works, the producers are constantly reacting to what’s happening in the villa.
‘It’s clear from their past that Georgia and Joshua have a spark… the hope is now they’re able to explore their feelings for each other on the show.’
Speaking ahead of the All Stars series, Georgia called Joshua ‘good looking’ and admitted that he would pique her interest.
She said: ‘Joshua Ritchie… I’ve dated before, he’s good looking and my usual type.’
Joshua starred on the very first season of Love Island alongside All Star contestants Hannah Elizabeth and Luis Morrison-Derbyshire.
He came third on the series with Lauren Richardson, who was the ex-fling of One Direction star Zayn Malik.
Jessica Hayes and Max Morley were the first ever winners, but they didn’t stay in a relationship.

The All Stars series has already given fans the drama they have craved since the summer.
Viewers were shocked to discover that Jake Cornish had quit the show after just 72 hours.
MailOnline revealed that he would still earn £2,000 for his TV appearance after Islanders were promised the amount each week they remain in the villa.
In Wednesday’s episode, Jake will sit down with host Maya Jama to explain his decision for leaving.
He was left in an awkward position after the public decided to pair him with ex-girlfriend Liberty Poole, who he dated on the show in 2021.
Jake was met by criticism from the public for the way he treated Liberty throughout their romance but the exes made amends and agreed to put the past behind them.
Liberty even broke down in tears when Jake announced to the cast that he was leaving, and the pair parted ways with a huge hug.
