Things are hotting up on Love Island All Stars after the latest bombshell Joshua Ritchie entered the villa on Thursday evening.
As Joshua, 29, had the pleasure of taking three girls on a date, he chose his ex Georgia Harrison as the two reunited in an awkward exchange as she revealed why she blocked the hunk.
The pair have known each other for almost 10 yeas and have quite a lot of history together with Georgia confessing they kissed the first time they met and then briefly dated in 2023, but things turned sour when they had a huge argument in Ibiza.
Yet the former TOWIE star, 29, looked over the moon to be reunited with a familiar face as she ran across the beach and jumped into his arms.
As Joshua began to pop the champagne he flirted: ‘Thought I would save the best until last,’ before admitting: ‘I was upset when I got blocked.’

Putting their past aside, Georgia explained: ‘Look you got cancelled for a bit but if you want to bring it up you really deserved it. But I found it in my heart to forgive you because I am spiritual’
Putting their past aside, Georgia explained: ‘Look you got cancelled for a bit but if you want to bring it up you really deserved it. But I found it in my heart to forgive you because I am spiritual.’
Recalling the last time the pair met up, Georgia wasn’t afraid to speak her mind as she continued: ‘I’m gonna paint my picture. So, I saw you at a party. We were having a nice day. I said “I’m going to an amazing club later” and I had the table sorted.
‘You bumped me off my own table. You went in you didn’t so much as look back. I didn’t get so much as a text, not even till the next day, “are you alright G”.’
Despite laughing, Joshua apologised as he confessed: ‘I should have actually reached out. I hold my hands up, I am sorry.’
Georgia continued: ‘I don’t think we ever really fell out, and I think we both know that. But for my ego I just had to cancel you for a little bit after that.
‘I’m glad you’re here now.’
‘I’m glad that I’m here, I’m glad that you’re here and you look unbelievable’, gushed Joshua as Georgia wowed in a red summer dress.
While it seemed as though the pair had got their grievances out the way, Georgia went in for one last dig as she explained her situation in the villa and admitted that Anton likes her.

In a final jibe, Georgia added: ‘Anton really seems to like me and he seems like a right gentleman and I am trying to pick guys that aren’t just leave me on the doorsteps of a club’
‘Anton really seems to like me and he seems like a right gentleman and I am trying to pick guys that aren’t just leave me on the doorsteps of a club,’ she laughed.
‘Yeah yeah,’ replied Joshua as he asked: ‘What if the guy who leaves you on the doorstep of the club tries?
‘Anton’s in deep trouble here’, he joked before Georgia agreed: ‘He might be in trouble.’
After appearing on Love Island series one the star dated Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, 33, for two years between 2017 and 2019.
And he seems set to ruffle some feathers as he refused to let the boys know ‘where is head was at’ and is keeping his cards close to his chest for now.
As well as Georgia, Joshua also took fellow series one star Hannah Elizabeth and Georgia Steele on dates.
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.’
