Love Island All Stars warmed you up for a summer of love and season 11 is coming to an end, with contestants like Grace Jackson, Uma Jammeh, Matilda Draper and Jessy Potts, having entertained us for the past eight weeks.

It's being streamed on ITV for the ninth summer series and 11th season in total, and rumour has it they have big plans for the 10th anniversary show next year.

Unlike All Stars, which had previous islanders return to the sunny search for love, Love Island's regular series throws gals and guys from all across the UK into a villa in the hopes they walk away with the love of their life.

But who signed up for a summer of love? Here who is on the line-up for Love Island's 2024 summer series including the bombshells.
