The cast for Love Island: All Stars is shaping up to be explosive, featuring two former winners, two nepo babies, and a finalist whose bitter split from her ex still rumbles on.
Millie Court, 29, who triumphed on the ITV2 series in 2021 alongside ex-Liam Reardon, returns following the couple’s September split and the definitive end to their on/off relationship.
She is joined by fellow winner Jess Harding, 25, who claimed the £50,000 prize in 2023, but her romance with ex-boyfriend Sammy Root fizzled out just two months after leaving the villa.Â
Whitney Adebayo, 28, narrowly missed out on winning the same year when she and Lochan Nowacki became runners-up but to the shock of fans, the couple ended their two-year relationship in 2025 under controversial circumstances.Â
The influencer publicly accused her ex of making racist remarks during their relationship, claims Lochan vehemently denied before launching a defamation case against her.
Now, Whitney makes an explosive return to the villa in a bid to find her forever partner, as the Daily Mail reveals the 11 other Islanders joining her alongside host Maya Jama in South Africa next week to complete the All-Star lineup.

Millie Court
Essex-born Millie and Welsh native Liam were fan favourites after their 2021 win, with viewers eager to see their romance flourish especially after they launched a couples’ podcast.
The pair stayed together for a year following their victory before eventually going their separate ways.
After the split, Liam appeared on the E4 series Celebs Go Dating, while Millie was linked to Gogglebox star George Baggs.
Fans speculated that Millie and Liam had rekindled their romance when they were spotted enjoying a break together in the Lake District over the Easter Bank Holiday.
The couple did get back together, but split again in September, and Liam has reportedly already moved on with a mystery woman, dropping hints of a new romance on his Instagram.
Although their relationship status remains unofficial, a shock entrance and potentially awkward reunion between Millie and Liam could still be on the cards.Â
Much like Love Island champion Molly Smith, who faced an awkward reunion with her ex during the first All Stars series, Millie could be hoping to move on, find someone new, and ultimately discover her forever love.Â

Jack Keating
Boyzone star Ronan Keating’s son, Jack, is returning to Love Island after failing to find love during his 2022 stint.
He entered the series during the Casa Amor loyalty test, causing tension between Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, but was ultimately dumped from the villa.
Now, after becoming a father for the first time in March 2023, Jack is hoping to find a new partner who understands his responsibilities as a parent.
Fans were shocked when he announced he was welcoming baby Maya shortly after his villa appearance, with many assuming the child had been conceived before his time on the show.
However, he clarified to the Mail in May 2024: ‘As soon as I came off Love Island, seven months later, I became a dad. No, I didn’t know before going on the show.’
Jack is now back, ready to navigate the villa’s romance while balancing life as a father, and is keen to see if he can finally find love.

Whitney Adebayo
Whitney Adebayo’s split from ex-boyfriend Lochan Nowack remains one of the most explosive in Love Island history.
The couple ended their two-year relationship amid controversy after Whitney accused Lochan of making racial slurs, including referring to her skin as ‘dirty.’
Whitney’s sister publicly backed her claims, sharing alleged text messages from Lochan in which he reportedly said: ‘I never said it thinking her skin is dirty, I feel sick I crossed line with joke but she said she can’t look at me the same.’
During the public fallout, Lochan denied the accusations and is said to have filed a defamation case against Whitney after being targeted by her loyal fanbase online.
Whitney, who also appeared on the Netflix series Inside, and Lochan reportedly reached a mutual understanding in December 2025.
Now, as Whitney returns to television, producers are hoping she will finally open up about the end of their romance, potentially revealing more about one of the show’s most talked-about breakups.

Helena Ford    Â
Fresh from the Mallorca villa, Helena Ford is making a return to Love Island.
The Islander was dumped from the show after her ex-partner Harry Cooksley moved on from their romance to pursue his feelings for Shakira Khan, with whom he remains in a relationship.
Helena was left heartbroken after falling for Harry, only to realise the feelings were not mutual, and she was eventually voted off alongside fellow Islander Blu Chegini when viewers deemed them the least compatible couple.
Harry was criticised by viewers for his treatment of Helena, who many felt tolerated his lacklustre approach to their romance and his womanising behaviour around the villa.
Speaking after leaving the show, Helena said: ‘The main thing for me wasn’t losing the relationship, it was losing our friendship, as we had such a great connection. I wanted to still be around him and not avoid him.’
Now, the former air stewardess is hoping to find her happily ever after as she heads to the villa in South Africa.Â

Tommy Bradley
Following on from last summer’s series, Tommy Bradley is joining former co-star Helena on All Stars.
Fans tipped Tommy to go all the way after he fell for Megan Clarke, but her head was quickly turned by Irishman Conor Phillips, with whom she has since spent her first Christmas.
Tommy later appeared to develop feelings for Welsh beauty Emily Moran, who was left heartbroken when he moved on with Casa Amor bombshell Lucy Quinn.
The pair split shortly after leaving the villa when Tommy admitted to cheating on Lucy with TOWIE star Dani Imbert, who also kissed his co-star Ben Holbrough at the same event.
Now, Tommy is returning to the show with a more mature outlook, determined to learn from past mistakes and give love another chance.

Charlie FrederickÂ
Cast your mind back to Love Island in 2018, and you may remember former contestant Charlie Frederick.
Before appearing on the show, Charlie dated ex-Islander Lucie Donlan, but his time in the villa was short-lived.
He was dumped alongside Hayley Hughes, but now, seven years later, he is making a surprise return to the series.
Charlie is no stranger to reality TV, having also appeared on the E4 series Made In Chelsea in 2020.
Fans may barely recognise him from his first stint in the villa, as Charlie has been working out and now sports a noticeably more muscular physique.

Belle HassanÂ
Belle Hassan, 27, was one of the first Love Islanders with celebrity connections to enter the ITV2 dating show.
Her father is British gangster film veteran Tamer Hassan, who memorably starred alongside Danny Dyer, whose daughter Dani also appeared on Love Island, in the 2005 film The Business.
Like her father, the makeup artist didn’t stand for any nonsense during her stint in the villa, where she cosied up to Anton Danyluk, who had endured several snubs from his fellow 2019 singletons before her late arrival.
Anton somehow survived being dumped by Belle after he handed his number to a checkout girl during a rare boys’ night out from the villa.
The pair finished in fifth place, narrowly missing out on the final win to Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea.
They split weeks after returning home, with Belle reportedly growing tired of Anton’s womanising ways.

Jess Harding
Jess Harding won Love Island in 2023 alongside Sammy Root, but their romance was short-lived.
Just two months after their shock victory, when many viewers had predicted Whitney and Lochan might take the crown, they called it quits.
Sammy went on to appear on TOWIE, where he met Essex star and former Islander Elma Pazar.
The pair later reunited on last year’s All Stars, making it to the finals and dating for several months afterwards.
However, their eight-year age gap eventually caused tension, and they had major rows during filming of TOWIE in Portugal.
Jess was in a long-term relationship with a mystery man until last summer, she shared glimpses of him on Instagram but refused to reveal his identity.

Sean Stone
Sweet salesman Sean Stone is heading back into the villa for a second chance at love.
He reached the final with Matilda Draper but the pair’s relationship ended shortly after they left the show.
Matilda won’t be shocking Sean by following him onto the series, given she’s now dating TOWIE’s Roman Hackett.
During his time on Love Island, Sean clashed with Joey Essex, moments he says he deeply regrets.
The pair’s behaviour triggered over 250 Ofcom complaints during one of the show’s challenges over their ‘meddling’ ways.

Leanne Amaning
Leanne Amaning, 28, appeared on the 2020 winter series in South Africa alongside former couple Molly Smith and Callum Jones.
She is now returning to the show after deciding against entering the villa as a bombshell during last year’s All Stars.
Leanne revealed on TikTok that despite flying to Cape Town, it didn’t feel right for her to go into the villa at the time.
She explained: ‘The more the show went on, the less sense it made for me to go in there.’
During her first appearance on Love Island, Leanne was coupled up with former police officer Mike Boateng, but their romance proved short-lived.

Ciaran DaviesÂ
Ciaran Davies finished as runner-up in 2024 with then-girlfriend Nicole Samuels, before the pair called it a day just months after leaving the villa.
They lost out to winners Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan who also split shortly after the series ended.Â
Late last year, Ciaran fuelled romance rumours with Emily Moran, who appeared on the 2025 summer series, after they posted an Instagram snap from the same place.
The pair, both hailing from Wales, failed to find lasting love during their respective stints on the ITV2 dating show, with Emily being dumped by Tommy Bradley following Casa Amor this year.

Shaq MuhammadÂ
Shaq Muhammad is returning to the villa after finding love during his first stint on the show.
He and ex-girlfriend Tanya Manhenga finished the 2023 series as finalists but went their separate ways in July last year.
Now, months after their split, Shaq is hoping to find the woman of his dreams during his All Stars return.
The personal trainer appears to have been working hard in the gym ahead of his comeback, sharing muscular, topless snaps on Instagram to show off his preparation.
