Love Island is back – and this time, it’s an all-star reunion you won’t want to miss. ITV has confirmed the Love Island All Stars 2026 line-up, bringing together a sizzling mix of past winners, fan favourites and villa personalities who left us laughing, crying, and gasping into our popcorn.

Set in sunny South Africa, the six-week series premieres 12 January on ITV2 and ITVX, with Maya Jama back on hosting duties and Iain Stirling narrating every eyebrow raise and dramatic exit. From confident ex-winners to wildcard entries, this line-up promises romance, drama, and plenty of second chances.‍

Meet the Islanders

‍

‍

Whitney Adebayo – The Queen of Zingers

Returning from Series 10, Whitney is ready to roast anyone who dares cross her. Expect sharp comebacks, witty one-liners, and a fair share of baddie x lady behaviour. If you’re looking for yap, Whitney’s your woman.

Millie Court – Cheeky but Charming

Series 7 winner Millie is back, flirtier than ever. With her cheeky humour and playful confidence, she’s here to prove love, laughs, and a little chaos can coexist in the villa.

Jess Harding – Don’t Mess With Jess

Winner of Series 10, Jess has returned with a mission: she’ll go after what she wants and won’t apologise for it. Expect honesty, bold moves, and plenty of villa-level intimidation.

Belle Hassan – Drama’s Best Friend

Belle’s Series 5 appearance made her unforgettable, and she’s back with the same sass and flair. Drama tends to follow her around, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ciaran Davies – Wales’ Wild Card

Ciaran flirts, charms, and probably causes just enough trouble to keep everyone on their toes. At 22, his energy is unpredictable, which means excitement is guaranteed.

Charlie Frederick – The OG Survivor

Charlie is returning from Series 4, older, wiser, and ready to remind the villa (and us) that he’s still a contender. Could he be the dark horse of this series?

‍

Helena Ford – Miss Independent

Series 12’s Helena comes back strong. She’s confident, elegant, and ready to make her own moves without waiting for anyone else to act. Mischief and romance included.

Jack Keating – The Redemption Tour

Back for a second chance, Jack’s ready to prove he’s more than a cameo-length stint. Will he finally find love, or just keep us entertained with villa antics?

Leanne Amaning – Smooth Operator

Leanne’s calm, collected persona hides a plotting mind. Expect her to glide through the villa while quietly stirring up excitement and drama.

Sean Stone – Mr Third Place Hero

Sean finished third in Series 11 and now he’s back, hoping that third time’s the charm. Sweet, charming, and ready to find lasting love.

Shaq Muhammad – The Switch-Up Specialist

Shaq’s villa energy is flirtatious and unpredictable. If you want romance and chaos rolled into one, Shaq’s your man.

Tommy Bradley – Young & Unpredictable

‍

Fresh from Series 12, Tommy brings youthful energy and unpredictability to the villa. Will he grow into the game or create new chaos? Time will tell.

‍

All Stars line up ready to hit our screens soon..

This All Stars line-up is due to be interesting as it will bring nostalgia, excitement, and plenty of villa shenanigans. From fierce ex-winners to chaotic wildcards, South Africa is about to heat up like never before. Expect drama, flirtation, heartbreak, and all the love (and shade) you could ask for.

With familiar faces and new sparks flying, Love Island All Stars 2026 is shaping up to be the must-watch reality event of the new year.
