When the cast of Love Island: All Stars signed up to take part in the dating show for the second time, they MUST have known there was a risk they would come face to face with an ex.

In fact, the first episode featured Jake Cornish sauntering into the All Stars villa and seeing his former bae Liberty Poole having a natter with Hannah Elizabeth which we can confirm he did NOT enjoy. In fact the Love Island 2021 OG ended up quitting the show after just three days although he does claim it wasn't because of Liberty 👀.

But it wasn't just Liberty and Jake who had history; Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran rekindled an old romance which saw them all the way to the final and Arabella Chi also hinted that she had swapped more than just saliva with both Toby and Tom Clare. Which, by the way, we are incredibly jealous of.

But anyway, we digress, there is no denying the main focus of this season was the reunion of Love Island 2020 stars Molly Smith and Callum Jones.

Sure, the former couple didn't ACTUALLY get back together but the gasp we gasped when we realised they were the first two bombshells of the show could be heard...well, next door. But it was loud.

Both Molly and Callum ended up making it to the final, just not together. Molly only went and bloody won the show with Tom Clare on her arm and Callum was crowned runner up alongside Jess Gale.

The new queen and king of the South African villa were the latest guests on heat's Under the Duvet podcast where they chatted to Harriet Rose about their All Stars experience.

Of course, there was no way Molly and Tom could chat about their return to the romance reality show without addressing the Callum dramz...

"At first, I won't lie, it was a bit of a struggle," Molly confirmed.

We get it, well we don't, because we have never been trapped in a villa with our ex before but we can imagine it was more than just 'a struggle.'

"It's just an awkward situation to be in," she added, "But when Tom came in, I was fine then."

"I actually really enjoyed the experience," she added.
