Love Island: is this iconic star going back on the show?

Their turn on ITV's flagship programme has gone down in telly history

Love Island alumni Shannon Singh made history in 2021 when she was the first Islander to be dumped from the villa a mere 48 hours after walking in when Chloe Burrows coupled up with her man Aaron Francis.

We know, it seems like a very long time ago now, but we still think it was brutal and very unfair.

Since leaving the villa though, Shannon has used her brief time in the villa to THRIVE, she's huge on TikTok and even has her own Twitch channel. Oh, and she's forever delighting her fans with unreal bikini snaps. We adore her.

Now, as we wait very patiently for Love Island 2022, Shannon has shared a HILARIOUS Tik Tok after she was sent an email that encouraged her to sign up for the series. We’re not sure WHY Shannon was approached, but we’re living for her response.

Shannon even posted the email on her Instagram story, simply writing, "😭😭😭 not today." LOL.

If you’re familiar with Shannon’s Instagram feed, you’ll know that she’s currently all loved up with her former boyfriend Ben Sterling, an international DJ from Buckinghamshire and they've just moved into their first home together.

The Scottish lass said last week, "We've finally found a house! We move in in the next two weeks, I'll show you guys everything I think you guys are going to love it.

"In the meantime we need to furnish the whole place which is going to be great."

Chloe Burrows

Chloe may have caught all the boys' attentions as evidenced in a recent explosive episode, but you can see she's always been a stunner from this uni halls pic taken way back in 2015.

Faye Winter

Faye has certainly nailed this classic Instapose in this snap from 2019 - the hair, tan and Adidas bodysuit are all on point and a sign of things to come.

Brad McClellan

A quick glance over Brad's insta and it's clear he uses it primarily to document his fitness journey. This snap from 2017 is from before it all began.

Kaz Kamwi

Kaz was already a fashion blogger before she entered the Love Island villa, and so her first photo is appropriately professional looking (boo).

Jake Cornish

Finally, a properly old photo! You can tell that Jake was already going to the gym when this photo was taken with a mate back in 2013.

Aaron Francis

Like Kaz, Aaron was already trying his hand as an influencer before he signed up to Love Island and so most of his photos are pretty glossy, but scroll down far enough and we found this photo of him seemingly winning an arm wrestle against Somoan Rugby Union player Many Tuilangi.

Toby Aromolaran

Toby's not giving anything away with this sultry selfie from 2018, other than perhaps that he's heading off on his holidays, judging by his passport and boarding pass. He doesn't look that excited about it though, does he?

Sharon Gaffka

In case you missed it, Sharon used to compete in beauty pageants and was Miss UK 2018. Here she is from the Galaxy pageant that same year.

Liberty Poole

It looks like Liberty has always been a big fan of the finer things in life - as well as a blonde hair extension or two - judging from this snap with a pal from 2019.

Liam Reardon

Viewers couldn't believe that Liam was only 21 when he entered the villa, but here's proof that Liam looked 30 way back in 2018 (regular teenaged boy for reference).

Rachel Finni

This photo of Rach taken on a night out was posted in 2017 but captioned, "2 Years Ago ud83dude2b#CanILookLikeThisAgainPlease", so we can assume it's from way back in 2015.

Millie Court

Proving she's always been a fan of posing up a storm in a bikini, we're majorly jeal of Millie's 2018 holiday to Cannes. Ahh, holidays - remember those?

Lucinda Strafford

Right, we can't actually believe this 2018 photo of bombshell Lucinda - have Love Island checked her I.D.? Is she old enough to be on the show?

The likelihood of Shannon actually returning to the Love Island villa is very low, but stranger things have happened in the world of reality TV.

Applications for the 2022 series of Love Island are currently open, with bosses making some changes to the process for budding reality stars.

Ahead of the new series, bosses are said to have made some changes to the applications process to enough a diverse range of singletons to apply following calls for the show to include wider representation of different body types, race and sexuality.

According to reports, those in charge of the ITV2 show are hoping to encourage applications from non-binary hopefuls – meaning those who do not identify as male or female.
