Love Island All Stars is returning for its second series on ITV, and the line-up is full of familiar faces.
Back in December, ITV announced that the show would be returning via an Instagram captioned: “Signed. Sealed. Delivered… but to whom?” and with it airing on our screens on Monday, January 13, the contestants are already in the South African villa.
The last series of the dating show saw exes Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish both showing up for a second chance at love, and here’s hoping there’s more drama ready to hit the villa once more.

Maya Jama, who took over from Laura Whitmore will be back again to host, and the star teased fans on her Instagram by showing that she’s landed in South Africa. Before the line-up was announced, she mused that one of the alum set to return is likely to cause “carnage” this year.
Here is the full line-up for Love Island All Stars 2025:
Curtis Pritchard – Series 5

For the majority of his time in the villa, fans saw him coupled up with Amy Hart before Curtis had his “head turned” by Casa Amor islander Jourdan Riane. Curtis decided to end things with Amy, and the latter being heartbroken, she announced: “I was coming back here to tell you I loved you”. Not to mention his viral moment in the villa where he told Amy he couldn’t cuddle her in the morning as he liked to get up and “make everyone a coffee” instead.
When asked why he wants to return to the villa, Curtis said: “I feel like I’m in a different stage in my life. The idea of settling down is a serious idea in my life right now. I haven’t found my true love… that sounds so cheesy doesn’t it. So, I thought, let’s give it another go. It was great fun last time; a lot of emotions. I feel excited to go back. I’m going to have a great fun time and hopefully leave with someone. It’s exciting.”
Speaking of that viral coffee moment, he mused: “It follows me everywhere! In hindsight, if I do find a girl this time, I will perhaps cuddle her in bed rather than make coffee… so Amy taught me a lesson. “
Kaz Crossley – Series 4

Kaz was introduced to the villa at Casa Amor, where she ended up coupling with Josh Denzel after he decided to dump Georgia Steele once they returned to the main villa. The couple split up six months after they left the island, with Kaz writing on her Instagram: “sometimes things don’t go the way you planned, but you have to be grateful for the journey.”
Now, as she returns to the villa Kaz revealed: “The first experience I had was so amazing and also so much fun! I’m even more mature now so I’m ready to find a relationship.”
When asked how she feels about knowing some islanders on the dating show, Kaz responded: “I’m really excited, but I love surprises so I hope I’m surprised in there! It’ll be nice to mingle with people from different series, especially as series 4 was so long ago now. If I see some faces I recognise, I’ll be really happy.”
Nas Majeed – Series 6

Nas was a fan favourite on the show who was there from day 1 in the villa. He eventually coupled up with Eva Zapico and the pair made it work after leaving the island for four years before announcing they had gone their separate ways.
On his return, Nas said: “It was so much fun the first time around, waking up every day with a smile on my face – it feels like a full circle moment. It was quite successful for me the first time around, I was with Eva for four years. So I’m hoping that Love Island can come through again and make it everlasting.”
When asked what green flags he looked out for, the star admitted: “Someone who can make me laugh… although I feel like I laugh at everything! Someone kind, considerate, and caring – it’s fundamental stuff. Someone who can match my high energy, being silly and goofy, but also enjoy chilling and going to garden centres. Clubcards… I can’t wait to get one of those and start collecting points with someone.”
Gabby Allen – Series 3

Gabby last entered the villa as a bombshell in 2017, and soon coupled up with Marcel Somerville. Only a year after they left the show, the couple split and it was rumoured that Marcel had cheated on Gabby while on holiday.
She revealed that she’s returning “Because it’s the trenches out there! I feel like I have all my ducks in a row, it has been 8 years since I went into the Villa. I now run my businesses and I’ve grown up a lot… but I just haven’t found ‘the one’ yet.”
Speaking of what she’s learnt since starring in Love Island, Gabby shared: “I was 25 when I did the show last time. I’m so glad that I did go on at that age because I’d done so much before that, I’d travelled, lost my dad, had turbulent relationships all before going in. I’d also been on a journey to become a fitness instructor so I felt really confident going in at 25. But now I look back, I feel like I am now, who I thought I was then. I’m confident in who I am as a person and hopefully that will help me meet someone, because I know what I want and I don’t want to settle.”
Marcel Somerville – Series 3

Oh yes, in true Love Island fashion Marcel will also be making his return to the villa at the same time as ex Gabby. The Blazin’ Squad member has caused some controversy since his All-Stars appearance has been announced, as although he is separated from his wife Rebecca Vieira amid cheating claims, he is still legally married.
On his return, Marcel admitted: “I thought that I’d completed love and found my happily ever after – but the universe had a different plan. Somehow every time my life’s at a crossroads, I’ve got the opportunity to do Love Island. So I thought, why not?”
According to the star, he’s learnt a lot from his last stint in the villa: “In my series I was deemed ‘Dr Marcel’, I was giving everyone love advice. Since the show, I’ve gone through a lot of situations in life and in love so I’ve topped up my knowledge… but I feel like maybe I need to take some advice when it comes to love this time round as well.”
Luca Bish – Series 8

Luca was coupled up with Gemma Owen throughout his series, with the pair sadly calling it quits after the show ended. When asked why he wanted to return, he shared: “I had such a good time last time, why not? I get to have a good time with the possibility of ending up with someone.”
During his time in the villa, viewers labelled Luca as “controlling” towards Gemma at times, but Gemma did stick up for him at the time and stated: “”I think viewers only see an hour a day. People are put in different situations than you would see on the outside.”
Speaking about what he’s learnt from the villa, he said: “It taught me so much about myself, especially as I can go back and watch it. It’s good to reflect. I think that it’s not the mistakes that define us, it’s the lessons and what we learn from them that makes us.”
India Reynolds – Series 5

India finished the show in third place after coupling up with basketball Ovie Soko. Sadly, the couple did split just a few months after filming ended, with India sharing: “I’ve been single for two and a half years and I think it’s time to settle down. I don’t put any effort into dating and I don’t really like meeting people from apps so I’m looking forward to getting to know people in the Villa.”
At 34-years-old, India will be one of the oldest contestants this year, and the star revealed: “I think I’m a bit more confident because I’m older, you know yourself a bit more as you get older.”
Elma Pazar – Series 5

Graduating from the same series as India, Elma only lasted six days in the villa after walking in as a bombshell alongside fan-favourite Maura Higgins. She later appeared in The Only Way Is Essex where viewers watched her relationship with Diags (James Bennewith) blossom on the show.
When asked why she wants to return after such a short stint last time, Elma said: “I want to have fun and I want to give it a proper go this time. My time was cut short the first time round and who knows, I could be the next Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie or Molly Smith and Tom Clare.”
After being asked if she’d do anything differently, she added: “Nothing other than just being my true authentic self, which just comes with being that little bit older and more experienced. This time I actually want to leave with a man, so let’s hope I’m lucky.”
Catherine Agbaje – Series 10

Catherine’s previous appearance saw her coupled with Scott van-der-Sluis, but now she’s ready for a second chance at finding the right match.
She shared: “I want to find love again, I want to give it another shot because it works!” Before adding that her best piece of romantic advice would be: “Just be yourself, focus on yourself and don’t stay if you see red flags.”
Olivia Hawkins – Series 9

Olivia announced that she feels “ready” to take on the villa second time, and added: “I’m still single and getting close to my thirties, I feel ready for it now. I’m ready to meet a nice man.”
She admitted she’s okay being a “marmite character”, and that “People misinterpret my honesty and how real I am. I think I am just very honest and upfront – and people take it the wrong way. Maybe sometimes I do need to keep my opinions to myself but, I’m unapologetically myself. You can never please everyone.”
Ronnie Vint – Series 11

Ronnie lasted 25 days on the island before being dumped, and after being known for his love-triangles on the series, the star has admitted he’s hoping for less of those this time around.
On his return, he added: “I learnt so much from my experience last time. I left with Harriett and from the time we left, I thought it was going well, but obviously it ended. In the Villa I was always in ‘triangles’ and what not, but I feel like I’ve grown up a lot since then. You have to wise up. So, not in a bad way to Harriett, but I’m in a good position to find someone now and move on.”
Scott Thomas – Series 2

Appearing on one of the OG series, Scott is probably best known for his two soap star brothers Ryan and Adam Thomas. Talking about his return, he confessed: “I’ve been on a massive journey over the last five years; I’ve been working on sobriety, personal growth, self development, when I first went into the Villa I was still a bit of a boy… I feel like I finally know who I am. It might sound cheesy, but I’m ready to settle down and I’ve never been open to saying those words. Where better than Love Island?”
When asked about whose relationship he admires most, he shared: “My brother, Adam and his wife Caroline. They have an amazing relationship. I always say I want to find ‘my Caroline’. They are still madly in love. Also watching Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie from All Stars 1 having belly laughs was great as well.”
Love Island All Stars starts on Monday 13th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
