Joe Garratt entered the Love Island All Stars villa during Monday’s episode as a bombshell along with twins Jess and Eve Gale.
It is claimed Joe is planning to shake things up, amid ongoing scandals among the show’s existing stars – with an existing couple set to be torn apart by the former star.
Joe, 27, appeared on the show in 2019, when he was seen vying for Lucie Donlan’s heart.
Joe’s series was the same that propelled Love Island Royalty Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague to fame – with his Lucie love affair bang in the middle of their drama.
Joe was booted off the show shortly after Lucie was picked by Tommy to couple up with, though she did admit to the boxer that she still had feelings for Joe.

When she went on to be eliminated from the show, Lucie and Joe rekindled their romance, though they held off on making it public.
It was revealed in December 2019 that the couple had secretly split a few weeks weeks earlier after they had begun ‘growing apart’.
A source told The Sun at the time: ‘Joe and Lucie have decided to end things between them.
‘They’ve been so busy with work lately that it’s made it difficult for them to find time to see each other. They just grew apart.’
He was later seen on a flirty night out with fellow Islander Amber Gill, who was on the same series as Joe and Lucie.
While lobbying for Lucie’s affections in the villa in 2019, Joe came under fire on the outside, where he was accused of ‘manipulation and abuse’ – something he later denied.
At the time, he said: ‘I didn’t manipulate or abuse her. I am gutted that it has been perceived in that way because it wasn’t like that at all.
‘I may have worded things wrong and the cameras are on you 24/7. I may have slipped up but I am only human.’

Joe entered the All Stars villa this week and he wasted no time in getting to know his fellow Islanders.
Georgia Steel set the cat amongst the pigeons during Monday’s episode of Love Island All Stars as she was seen asking Molly Smith if she’d kissed new bombshell Joe Garratt before.
In a teaser at the end of the episode, the Islanders were seen playing a steamy ice breaker game, with the scenes set to air in Tuesday’s instalment.
With Joe, 29, having arrived in the villa alongside twins Jess and Eve Gale, he set about getting to know the residents better.
As part of the challenge, the contestants were asked: ‘Snog the two Islanders you find the most attractive.’
Joe was then seen kissing Molly, who split from fellow Islander Callum Jones in September last year.

Laughing, Georgia leant in towards Molly as they sat next to each other, and asked: ‘Was that the first time, Moll?’
Toby Aromolaran asked: ‘What was that Georgia?’, to which she clarified: ‘I just asked Molly if it was her first time kissing Joe.’
The clip then cut to Joe looking shocked while Molly sat in disbelief and shook her head.

Sources previously stated: ‘Joe was a big part of his series, but his story was slightly dwarfed by the fact he was alongside such iconic characters as Molly-Mae and Maura [Higgins].
‘But since leaving the villa he’s really carved a niche doing content for brands and remained at the heart of the show – he’s dubbed the ‘social rep’ because he literally knows everyone.’
His arrival comes after viewers rejoiced as Georgia S’s ‘sneaky’ ways were finally exposed during Sunday night’s dramatic PDA Awards.
The reality star, 25, had been coupled up with Callum, 27, before her head was turned by new arrival Tom Clare, 24, who she has romantic history with.
Viewers have watched as Georgia, who is now coupled up with Toby, 24, dismissed her flirty chats with Tom to the other Islanders.
Most notably to her love interest Callum when they shared a night in the hideaway together and she told him he was the only person she wanted to be there with.
However, the villa was rocked during on Sunday as it was revealed that Georgia hadn’t been quite as honest as she was making out.
During the nominations for ‘sneakiest islander’ as part of the PDA Awards, a video clip of each of Georgia’s interactions with Tom was aired for the entire villa.

This included a clip of her approaching Tom following her night away with Callum, where she told him that she still fancied him.
A further video of the pair playing a game of truth or dare, showed her telling Tom that she would rather be coupled up with him over Callum.
While viewers have watched it play out, her co-stars have been none the wiser to her flirty antics with both contestants.
Love Island All Stars continues on Tuesday 6 February at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
LOVE ISLAND ALL STARS: MEET THE CAST
Kaz Kamwi
AGE: 29
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love.
I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve previously dated from the show? The thing is, I’m a bad b*tch so I will handle it with as much grace as I can.
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Molly Smith
AGE: 29
SERIES: 6
What do you need to know? Molly entered her season as a Casa Amor bombshell and managed to turn Callum Jones’ head.
It’s believed she ended things with Callum after three years because she ‘wanted to get engaged’ but the offer was seemingly not forthcoming.
Arabella Chi
AGE: 32
SERIES: 5
What do you need to know? Despite a fleeting stint on her series she has hit the headlines with a series of high profile romances since, most recently with footballer Ruben Dias.
She was linked to former French rugby player Yoann Huget and DJ Tom Zanetti. She also enjoyed a brief dalliance with fellow All Star Toby Aromolaran.
Tom Clare
AGE: 24
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Villa?
I found love last time, so I am back and ready to give it another go.
What will you do differently this time round?
Last time I did exactly what I wanted and got the girl that I wanted, so no I wouldn’t do anything different.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
When you’re with someone 24/7 you really get to know them. It can be such an alien environment, so you really get to know someone in a short space of time. It’s Love Island – it’s the best place!
Casey O’Gorman
AGE: 27
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I didn’t find love the first time round so I’m hoping it will be second time lucky.
I had the most amazing experience before, so get me back in that villa.
Who do you have your eye on? I’ve got my eyes on Molly, for sure. I genuinely think she is a 10 out of 10. Georgia H as well – I know her and we have had a good time together. It’ll be interesting to see if it can develop in any way.
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.
Chris Taylor
AGE: 33
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me!
How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.
Callum Jones
AGE: 27
SERIES: 6
What do you need to know? Callum caused shockwaves in his series when he ended his romance with Shauna Phillips and recoupled with Molly Smith in Casa Amor.
The couple went on to have a three-year relationship, even moving in together in Manchester but split last year, months before an awkward reunion in the Love Island All Stars villa.
Josh Ritchie
AGE: 29
SERIES: 1

Sophie Piper
AGE: 24
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa?
I had a fun experience the first time around but I didn’t go the full way and find love, so I’d love to find someone this time.
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m quite chilled and don’t want drama, so I think I will approach this time round in a similar way. I’m a one guy kind of girl.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
It’s a once in a lifetime experience and not something that comes up every day.
Joanna Chimonides
AGE: 27
SERIES: 5
What do you need to know?
Viewers will remember Joanna coupling up with ex-boyfriend Michael Griffiths after they met in Casa Amor, which left his partner at the time, Amber Gill, heartbroken.
