Love Island All Stars has reportedly been thrown into chaos after the cast demanded more money, just weeks ahead from it’s huge launch on ITV1 and ITV2.
The new series is expected to feature singeltons from previous series as they continue their quest to find their dream partner, with MailOnline previously revealing that spoken-for stars could also made cameo appearances on the show.
According to The Sun the reality stars, who have not yet been officially announced, are refusing to sign their contracts after claiming a 433% increase on their original fee was simply not enough.
The publication reported that the singeltons were offered £2K a week for their appearance in the new villa which works out to be 433% more than their orignal stints which earned them just £375 every seven days.
A source said: ‘[The cast] are pushing ITV for more cash because they’re saying £2,000 a week isn’t enough.

‘Many of the Islanders rely on their social media deals to make cash and by going into the villa, their revenue source will be down.
Adding: ‘The All Stars cast are clubbing together to try and put the pressure on but as far as ITV are concerned, the pay deal on the table is good and fair’.
MailOnline have contacted ITV for comment.
The show is set for a huge launch across both its been revealed much like the channel pulled off for it’s Big Brother premiere in October.
An ITV spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘All Stars is being lined up for a simulcast across ITV and ITV2 for it’s launch show when it airs next year, the same we did did successfully for Big Brother’.
‘It also works as another way to bring in younger viewers to the channel in the way we’ve done with things like I’m A Celeb, the BRITs and An Audience with Kylie’.
Meanwhile the new series also hit with another snag before Christmas when one singleton quit just days ahead of the cast jetting off to South Africa.
The Sun reported how Anna Vakiki, who found fame on the show in the 2019, had a change of heart about appearing despite ITV bosses being ‘hell bent’ on her entering the villa.

The pharmacist, 33, had a dramatic time during her orignal stint on the show including her now iconic row with then partner Jordan Hames.
MailOnline have contacted ITV for comment.
During Anna and Jodan’s iconic fight, Jordan received his partner’s wrath when he attempted to ‘crack on’ with India Reynolds just days after asking Anna to be his girlfriend.
Their fellow Islanders were seen trying to diffuse the situation but it all proved too much and an explosive fight occurred.
An enraged Anna stormed over to Jordan and screamed: ‘You just asked me out and you like her, is that how much of a f***ing idiot you are. What the f**k!…
‘Are you actually that idiot? You ask a girl out. What are you talking about then I have a right to know you are my ‘boyfriend’. F***ing fake d***head.’

The scenes shocked viewers and Anna later revealed that the full extent of the row wasn’t shown on camera, admitting producers had to step in and take her away to calm down because she ‘went a bit too crazy.’
Shortly after the row the pair were dumped from the island after receiving the least votes from the public. The pair claimed that they would be ‘civil’ to one another upon leaving the villa, but it seems there was no love lost between the pair.
And prior to the release of the hotly-anticipated new series, fans think they have got a pretty good idea who is joining the series.
Fans have speculated that Catherine Agbaje, who appeared on the show this year, is on the line-up for the new show – after she dropped a major clue on Instagram.
Viewers spotted Catherine recently followed a make-up artist who ‘happens to work on the show’.
Some fans took to Reddit to spark speculation amongst each other.
One wrote: ‘Why do i feel like catherine is going on all stars lol’.
‘I wonder if she’ll be on All-Stars seems like she’s getting in time with friends now before being away for a while.’
