After the success of the first-ever Love Island All Stars, which saw Molly Smith and Tom Clare win, ITV confirmed the show would be returning for it's second series, and it's coming January 13th!
They said: "Love Island fans are in for another All Star 2025, as Love Island All Stars returns to ITV2 and ITVX for a second series next year, celebrating a decade of the nation’s most popular dating show." So, to celebrate ten years of Love Island some of our favourite islanders from the past eleven series will come together for a second shot at love in the villa.
With the show's confirmed start date quickly nearing, speculation online has been rife about who is or isn't in talks to go on the show. Series five fan favourite Ovie Soko has already had to shut down rumours, hilariously saying on X: "I’m never going on love island all stars, love the show but I’m 33 guys. I am your uncle now."
With that said, who will be a part of the group escaping the January blues to find love in South Africa? Here are all the rumours.

Love Island All Stars 2025 rumoured lineup:
Curtis Pritchard - Season 5
According to the tabloids, Maura Higgins' ex Curtis has signed up for this year's All Stars. They reported that a source told them: "Curtis signing for All Stars is more than awkward for Maura just as she’s fallen for Pete and they’ve finally gone public with their love.
"Her break-up with Curtis wasn’t the best and Maura always worried he’d be the ex that could blab. It’s also less than ideal when she’s hoping to build on her I’m A Celebrity profile and advance her career.
They went on: "Love Island bosses are in the process of confirming the Islanders who will launch January’s show and Curtis might not make that line-up — but he is in the cast of bombshells to land later in the series.”
Nas Majeed - Season 6
The tabloids have revealed that Nas is in negotiations to go on All Stars in January. Their source said: "Everyone loved Nas when he was on the show the first time so when he became single again of course he got called in for talks.
"Nothing is signed yet but he’d be great on All Stars."
This comes after Nas split from Eva Zapico in March this year. The pair met on Love Island and where together for four year before things ended.
Leanne Amaning - Season 6
The same source who claimed Nas is in talks for All Stars said his co-star Leanne is also in the middle of negotiations to star on the spin-off show at the start of 2025.
They said: "Leanne is gorgeous and a real fan favourite - if she agrees to sign up, bosses would be thrilled."
Ekin-Su - Season 8
According to a MailOnline source Ekin-Su's "deal is agreed in principle, there's still some details to sort out". Their source added: "But there's huge hope she's finally agreed to take a second chance at finding long-lasting love in front of the nation."
The source continued: "Ekin-Su has been the number one priority for [Love Island All Stars] casting producers, they know fans would love to see her return to the villa.
"She was so iconic during her first appearance on the show and now she's single again at the perfect time."
Tanya Manhenga - Season 9
Following her recent split from Shaq Muhammad, following a year of dating after Love Island, Tanya is reportedly in line for an All Stars appearance.
A TV source told the tabloids: "It's very early talks but Tanya is being lined up for a return to the villa. She genuinely wants to find love and if she can do it once, she can do it twice."
Grace Jackson - Season 11
This will come as a surprise to those who have heard recent reports that Grace is dating Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford. However, speaking to Goss.ie, Grace did confirm she had been approached to appear on the show.
She said: "I can't confirm or deny, I have been approached for it but it's just kinda seeing the timeline of work and whether it works for me."
Grace added, she'd "never say no" to doing the show completely, so I guess we shall wait and see!
Tyrique Hyde - Season 10
In early November, a source told the tabloids: "Tyrique is in super early talks with ITV to return to All Stars.He was a huge fan favourite and he makes good TV but the real question is: is he over Ella?
"They’ve been spotted out a few times since the split and ITV only want people who are on the show to find love."
Lucinda Strafford - Season 7
According to the tabloids Lucinda could be heading into the villa following her recent split from DJ Nathan Dawe. A source has said: "Lucinda has had her fair share of heartbreak this year, and she’s looking for a fresh chance at love.
"Hopefully the man of her dreams will be in the Love Island villa as she wants 2025 to be a new start for her romantically.”
Speaking at The Beauty Awards, Lucinda said her relationship with Nathan ended due to scheduling conflicts and said she's "not looking for anyone", could that change in 2025?
Scott Thomas - Season 2
Eight years after he first appeared on Love Island, Scott could be returning for another shot at love.
A tabloid source has said: “Scott is way more mature than he was when he first appeared and wants to show the world a new side.
"He thinks it would be a great way to publicise his podcast and his company. He also thinks it could be a lot of fun, and would love to find real romance."
Scott spoke out about turning down the first season of All Stars, saying: "“I was gutted I didn’t do it in the end. They asked me to and I was thinking, ‘I’m too old’. I think I would’ve been the oldest in the villa, because I was 27 when I did it the first time in 2016."
Olivia Hawkins - Season 9
A tabloid source has said: “Olivia was the breakout star of her series - love her or loathe her, fans couldn’t stop talking about her. Bosses have been keen to get her to sign up for the next series of All Stars.
"She was almost in the mix for the last All Stars in January and it didn’t quite work out, but this time around she is at the top of the wishlist. Producers are confident she will bring plenty of drama and conflict, which is just what viewers want.”
Paige Thorne - Season 8
According to a tabloid source: "Paige was in talks to do All Stars earlier this year, but things didn’t quite work out, and she didn’t make the final cut. This time around, producers are really keen to have her back. They think she is the perfect addition to spice things up."
They went on: "She’s stunning – who could forget her turning lothario Adam Collard’s head – and she gets involved in drama, so they’re confident she will deliver."
Luca Bish - Season 8
Luca, another 2022 Love Island star is also reportedly set for All Stars after the cancellation of Christmas MasterChef amid the Greg Wallace scandal.
A tabloid source has said: "Luca's in early talks for the show. He wasn't sure about doing the first series as the split from Gemma Owen was so fresh but having watched All Stars in January, he's now considering signing up.
"He needs to keep his public profile up since the Christmas MasterChef was cancelled - he was due to be on that but obviously it's not airing anymore."
Gemma, who was with Luca, was another named by the tabloids as a possible islander for the show. However, she commented on a post reporting the news, writing: "It’s not true, I’m not going on x."
She also responded to a fan on her Instagram who had said they couldn't wait to see her on the show by saying, "it's fake news x".
We'll update this page as soon as we know who is or isn't heading into the villa in January, plus any more names thrown into the mix.
