To say the heat team was looking forward to Love Island All Stars is a cosmic understatement. It's like saying RuPaul is an alright drag queen or Claudia Winkleman has a bit of a fringe.
Frankly, we're wetting ourselves with excitement and we're starting to annoy people we don't know in the office.
Things only got worse for our colleagues when the first episode of All Stars was all we’d hoped for. Not one but two exes have been reunited - first Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish, and then in a shocking double bombshell moment, Callum Jones and Molly Smith.
The producers have out done themselves with the line-up this year, it's as star-studded as a Love Island reunion could be. Not a Casa Amor bombshell in sight - no shade.
However, viewers have been wondering whether or not a third couple of exes have been reunited on the show. After Love Island 2018's Georgia Steel and Love Island 2021 finalist Toby Aromolaran had a somewhat awkward reunion, fans of the show were left scratching their heads and wondering if the pair had dated and we’d all somehow just forgotten about it.
Thankfully, we asked Toby about it right before he entered the villa.
We've interviewed Toby a few times over the last two years and we're always guaranteed to get two things from him – a cheeky smile that makes our knees go funny and some unfiltered Islander tea.
We had a million and one questions for Toby ahead of his All Stars debut so when we came face to face with him last week (well, on Zoom – he was in a holding villa in South Africa) we had two BIG conversation topics: Chloe Burrows (for obvious reasons) and Georgia Steel, for, at the time, less obvious reasons. Allow us to explain...
Toby and Georgia recently took part in Love Island Games (an entirely different spin-off that loads of us still can't watch here in the UK) before they jetted off to All Stars. What you might not know is that although Toby and Georgia didn't last long on Love Island Games, they did grow close-ish, and in classic Toby style he also had a spark with another Islander, Cely Vazquez, at the same time. Unfortunately, both Georgia and Toby were dumped before anything came of their connection.
Naturally, we're now wondering whether they'll pick up where they left off on All Stars, as according to Toby there's "unfinished business" between them.
Toby revealed, "So I know Georgia very well from chatting to her in the Games. I feel like we got on really well.
"That might be unfinished business, to be fair. Like if she came in, I feel like we'll definitely have to speak about the Games and, obviously, how we left together and like how we were going.
"But yeah, it's one of those ones where it'll be interesting to see if she does come in; it'll be interesting to see her and I think it'll be interesting for her to see me as well."
He summarised by saying (while smiling cheekily but that's not news), "You can never know what happens. We could leave the villa together, we could end up in an argument. Who knows?"
We'll take both, thanks – but to be fair we're pure chaos.
Georgia echoed a similar sentiment in a separate interview, saying, "I liked that I coupled up with Toby [in the Games]. We were in there for four days, so we didn't really get to progress anything. I thought he was a really nice boy, like we really got on.
"So, I don't know, if he came in the villa, I'd feel really...I think I'd feel comforted a bit because he already knows me to a certain level, but we never really had the opportunity to develop. And I think, yeah, that could be a nice little thing.”
Seeing as Georgia and Toby finished the first episode of All Stars in a couple, maybe it really will be a 'nice little thing.'
Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2, ITVX & STV
