Old Flames Return as Love Island All Stars Opens Its Doors Again

The countdown is on as Love Island: All Stars prepares to return with a season built on history, tension, and familiar faces.

The new series begins on January 12, 2026, airing on ITV2 and ITVX. This time, the villa in South Africa will host former Islanders who already know how the game works and what fame can bring.

Unlike the regular show, there are no first impressions here.

Every Islander arrives with a past. Some come with unfinished romances, others with rivalries that never cooled. That shared history changes the mood from day one and raises the stakes inside the villa.

Several well known names are expected to take part, including Whitney Adebayo, Millie Court, Belle Hassan, Jess Harding, Ciaran Davies, Shaq Muhammad, and Jack Keating.

More arrivals are expected as the season moves forward.

The show will also run longer than before, stretching across six weeks. That extra time gives relationships room to grow, break, and shift in unexpected ways.

With returning bombshells likely to enter later, no couple can feel secure for long.

With familiar faces and no clean slates, this season leans heavily on consequences rather than fresh starts.

As Love Island All Stars returns, viewers can expect past choices to resurface and old emotions to shape what happens next in the villa.
