We’re only three episodes in to Love Island: All Stars 2025, but it’s already been chaotic af – in the best way possible, of course. We’ve had that epic row between Casey O’Gorman and Kaz Crossley, our first love triangle with Kaz, Ronnie Vint, Elma Pazar and, erm, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu sitting on Curtis Pritchard’s lap and faking an orgasm.
The couples are still very much getting to know each other, but producers are seemingly keen to keep the chaos coming and have lined up even more bombshells to head into the villa and shake things up.
According to reports, the next Islander entering as a bombshell is none other than winter Love Island 2023 OG Ron Hall.
Ron was dating fellow Islander Lydia Karakyriakou up until recently, but they split last month and he’s now thought to be waiting in the wings to go back into the South African villa.
‘Ron was approached for the All Stars series shortly after his split with Lydia,’ a show insider told The Sun.
‘He’s ready to throw himself back into the Love Island experience and see if sparks fly with someone new.’
Ron rose to fame on the winter 2023 series of the ITV2 show, where he coupled up with Lana Jenkins. Despite a few bumps in the road, Ron and Lana made it all the way to the end and finished as runners-up behind eventual winner Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan.
They continued dating in the outside world before splitting just months later, with Ron admitting the breakup had a taken a toll on him.
‘It was my first proper relationship, it was hard, it completely destroyed me,’ he told The Sun at the time.
‘It's a shock to anyone, I needed to learn to focus on me and love myself a bit more.’
Following his relationship with Lana, Ron recoupled with Casa Amor bombshell Lydia in the outside world at the end of last year.
They soft launched their romance on Instagram when they shared photos from a Virgin Voyages cruise, with Ron’s pal Luca Bish commenting, ‘Happy for you bro 🤍.’
However, the pair went their separate ways before the year was out.
