The Love Island producers and ITV big wigs that came up with Love Island All Stars deserve some kind of award for great TV. The spin-off let us see where some of our favourite past Islanders have ended up, and even endeared us to some that didn't get a fair shot the first time around.

However, for some Islanders, their All Stars journey was over even faster than their OG run. One such Islander was Love Island 2019 sandwich guy, Joe Garratt. Although Joe lasted a mere two days in the All Stars villa, his golden curls still made quite an impression on us.

Here's everything you need to know about Joe.

When was Joe Garratt on Love Island?

He took part in the romance reality TV show back in 2019 and was an OG Islander. He lasted for 16 days but was dumped when the public had chose to dump him over Lucie Donlan, who he was in a couple with at the time.

However once just wasn't enough for Joe, and he was one of the familiar faces who came back for round two on Love Island All Stars.

What happened with Joe Garratt and Lucie Donlan?

Having initially coupled up with Lucie from the beginning of their time in the Love Island villa, their romance went from strength to strength and they even gave their relationship the 'exclusive' label.

But, their fellow Islanders didn't fall for it, as they voted for them as one of the least compatible couples in the villa. A shock twist meant the public had to decide to keep either Lucie or Joe, with the public choosing surfer Lucie.

Joe's exit came amid controversy, following many viewers criticising him for his 'controlling' behaviour whilst Womens Aid released a statement about their relationship.

At the time Joe said he is going to wait for Lucie on the outside but she moved on with bombshell George Rain and she tried to make a move on Tommy Fury, even though he was with Molly-Mae Hague.

However, after Lucie was booted from the show they reunited but it didn't last.

Do Joe Garratt and Lucie Donlan still speak?

We highly doubt it especially because Joe is BFFs with Yewande Biala who, apparently, had a secret feud with Lucie that didn't air on TV.

What happened to Joe Garratt on Love Island All Stars?

Joe entered the South African Love Island villa on day 22 alongside twins Jess and Eve Gale. He soon coupled up with Arabella Chi, but the pair were voted least compatible and once again Joe was chosen to be dumped from the villa by his fellow Islanders. That's some pretty harsh deja-vu.

However, he did return to the villa on day 35 along with the rest of the former All Star Islanders in a twist that had them each vote for a couple to be dumped.

Joe may not have been over his premature dumping, as he threw shade at Tom Clare and then voted for Arabella and Adam Maxted to be booted - which they were.

Was Joe Garratt on Ex on the Beach?

Yup. The Islander even had a little dalliance with a certain MAFS Australia star by the name of Jessika Power.

Who is Joe Garratt dating?

We are PRETTY sure he is single seeing as he appeared on Love Island at the beginning of 2024, but he did date Frankie Sims from TOWIE once. Speaking of The Only Way is Essex...

When was Joe Garratt on TOWIE?

Joe appeared on TOWIE back in 2021 where he was a love interest for Frankie Sims.

Joe isn't the the first Love Island contestant to star on the show. Elma Pazar is a key cast member and viewers have seen Nathan Massey, Cara De La Hoyde, Kady McDermott and Olivia Attwood all featured on the Essex show.
