After facing a few minor setbacks, Love Island: All Stars is debuting in South Africa next year but viewers won't be introduced to anyone new at the villa. In fact, your favorite former UK Islanders may becoming back for an “all-stars” season. Please excuse us while we squeal from pure excitement.
Paul Mortimer, the Director of Reality Commissioning and Acquisitions and Controller for ITV2, ItvBe told Deadline, "After 10 ratings busting seasons of Love Island on ITV2, we're delighted to be able to celebrate a decade of the number one dating show on television with the first ever series of Love Island: All Stars."
Prior to that, the popular reality show saw declining ratings in recent years as it competed with fellow reality dating shows like Love Is Blind and 90 Day Fiancé. Seeing its return to the screen solidifies that love is still in the air.
While the show produced many popular singles, several couples are still going strong post-villa life. From the UK alone, the show has introduced long term couples Molly Mae-Hague and Tommy Fury, Dom Lever and Jess Shears, Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow, Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde, and finally Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland, all of whom are either married and/or have a baby!
Other current couples include Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan, Jessie Wynter and Will Young, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, Lucie Donlan and Luke Mabbott, Eva Zapico and Nas Majeed, and Callum Jones and Molly Smith. Cue the happy tears.
While no details of the cast are confirmed, we’re praying that some of our faves re-enter villa life for another shot at love. (We’re looking at you, Maura Higgins.)
Will you watch an all-stars season? Let us know your thoughts @BritandCo!
