Love Island All Stars 2026 Returns with Big Names, Big Drama, and Fresh Romance
Love Island All Stars is officially back, and the excitement around the 2026 season is already building fast. After the strong success of the recent summer series, fans are once again being invited into a villa full of familiar faces, unfinished business, and second chances at love. This spin-off has quickly become a favourite, mainly because it fills that long gap between the regular seasons and brings back Islanders viewers already know, love, and sometimes love to argue about.
It has been confirmed that Love Island All Stars 2026 will begin on January 12, airing nightly at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX. The show will once again be filmed in South Africa, where contestants are expected to spend six intense weeks navigating romance, rivalries, and surprises. The new winners will take over from last year’s champions, Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman, who beat some huge names to lift the title.

While the full cast list has not been officially announced, several rumoured and reported names have already caused a buzz online. Summer Botwe, from season eight, is said to be returning, bringing back memories of the iconic Casa Amor fallout involving Dami and Indiyah. Jess Harding, a former winner from season ten, is also strongly linked, and her fiery personality is expected to shake things up quickly. Belle Hassan, remembered for one of the most unforgettable confrontations in Love Island history, is rumoured to be making a comeback after being off-screen for years.
Season nine could be heavily represented, with both Tanya Manhenga and her ex Shaq Muhammad tipped to appear, setting the stage for what could be one of the most awkward reunions the show has seen. Lana Jenkins, also from the same winter season, is expected to return with a more serious mindset after her previous relationship ended shortly after leaving the villa.
Fans of the more recent series may recognise Harrison Solomon from season twelve, who divided opinion after his controversial decisions in the summer. A redemption arc is believed to be on the cards for him. Meanwhile, Scott van-der-Sluis, one of the most talked-about Islanders in recent years, is rumoured to return after appearing across multiple Love Island formats. Teddy Soares, a surprise name from season seven, is also being linked, with viewers eager to see him back in the spotlight.
Adding to the excitement, Maya Jama has confirmed she is heading to South Africa and will once again host the show. Her return has reassured fans that another dramatic and glamorous season is on the way. With familiar faces, unresolved storylines, and the promise of new twists, Love Island All Stars 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about seasons yet.
