Love Island: All Stars feels like such a staple of the Love Island universe it's wild to think that last year's series was its debut, and no one had a clue whether it was going to flop (à la winter Love Island, let's be honest) or become an immediate hit with the fans.
Luckily for all of us, it was the latter and its success resulted in the series being renewed for another glorious year.
Sorry, but imagine this dismal month without Love Island: All Stars. No, too negative 🙏.
Anyway, in January 2024, 12 iconic Islanders returned to the series – followed by an array of bombshells – for another shot at love and we were hooked from the onslaught.
Who was on Love Island: All Stars 2024?
To quote Vicky B in Spice World, 'Hold on to your knickers, girls.' ITV casting did good.
Georgia Harrison (Love Island series 3)
Georgia was the final bombshell to enter the series 3 villa in 2017 on day 34, but was an OG on All Stars; she had several connections with a few Islanders before giving a go with Anton. They dated for a hot minute IRL before calling it quits.
Toby Aromolaran (Love Island series 7)
Toby entered the All Stars villa on day one, and after some ups, downs, and broken hearts, he coupled up with Georgia S, who, if you haven't heard, he had deep history with. Again, they dated for a hot minute IRL after All Stars.
Kaz Kamwi (Love Island series 7)
Kaz was an All Stars OG, entering the villa on day one, and we're all still remembering the moment she realised her bestie Liberty Poole was in there with her. Now that's love. However, it wasn't meant to be for Kaz and she was dumped from the Island on day 23.
Chris Taylor (Love Island series 5)
From the villa to Barbie land back to the villa, everyone wondered, would Maura Higgins' ex find his Barbie in the South African villa? As it turns out, no, though not for lack of trying. Chris entered the All Stars villa on day one but was dumped on day 26.
Georgia Steel (Love Island series 4)
The series four legend was fresh from Love Island Games and committed to hubby hunting. Prior to entering the villa on day one, Georgia said, 'I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car - I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.' She rekindled things with Toby in the villa and the pair dated on the outside for a few weeks.
Anton Danyluk (Love Island series 5)
He coupled up with Georgia H in the villa for a minute there we thought this could be forever. We were wrong and we're fairly certain the former couple aren't on speaking terms a year later.
Hannah Elizabeth (Love Island series 1)
Hannah Elizabeth – who entered the All Stars villa on day one – got engaged during series one of Love Island back in 2015 and is a timeless icon in our books. However, she didn't last quite as long in the All Stars villa, and was sent home on day 16.
Jake Cornish (Love Island series 7)
Proof that Love Island: All Stars was really ITV's dupe of Celebrity Ex on the Beach from the get go... Jake entered the villa on day one and chose to walk moments later. Just three days in, Jake quit the villa after the viewing public voted for him to be coupled up with his ex, Liberty.
Demi Jones (Love Island series 6)
From bombshell to OG, we had a good feeling about Demi 2.0. Or we did, until she was dumped first alongside Luis on day 8. Oh well, a cheeky week away in January is still a win.
Luis Morrison (Love Island series 1)
Old school Love Island fans will know that OG of OGs Luis Morrison needs no introduction. Unfortunately for him, neither do his rumoured playboy ways... He was dumped from the All Stars villa swiftly on day eight.
Liberty Poole (Love Island series 7)
A bestie and an ex joining her in the villa? We were already sold but this had a grip on our dramatic souls. We had to wave goodbye to our queen on day 16.
Mitchel Taylor (Love Island series 10)
Not Mitch Taylor being the last All Star to enter the chat (as an OG, at least). Liberty and Mitch were dumped on day 16 after being voted the public's least favourite couple.
Callum Jones (Love Island series 6)
Callum Jones was thrown right into the mix as an All Stars bombshell at the end of episode one. Within seconds he came face-to-face with his bombshell ex, Molly. After it looked like he had found love with Georgia S, Toby dramatically stole her away. Callum later moved on to Jess Gale and they dated for a micro-second after finishing the series in second place.
Molly Smith (Love Island series 6)
Molly Smith was a model before she entered Love Island 2020 as a bombshell on day 23. She then entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell literally seconds after her ex Callum, and soon found a connection with Tom.
Josh Ritchie (Love Island series 1)
The Love Island series one star entered the All Stars villa on day four and soon coupled up with Georgia H – who he dated in 2022, btw. He soon re-coupled with bombshell, Sophie and they are still totally loved up. FYI, Joshua was on series one of the dating show alongside two other All Stars, Luis and Hannah.
Arabella Chi (Love Island series 5)
Producers shook things up when they sent in Love Island 2019's Arabella Chi as an All Stars bombshell on day 5. She coupled up with Chris, but things soon went south. She then coupled up with Northern Irish wrestler from series 2, Adam.
Tyler Cruickshank (Love Island series 7)
Kaz's ex Tyler Cruickshank entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell on day 8 and ooft, the drama. Although he seemed to be bonding with Hannah, he was dumped from the villa by his fellow Islanders on day 16.
Tom Clare (Love Island series 9)
The gentle – and drop dead gorgeous – giant Tom Clare entered the All Stars villa with Sophie on day 10 and set his sights on Georgia and Molly. Him and Molly are still together a year later.
Sophie Piper (Love Island series 6)
Sophie Piper re-entered the villa on day 10 alongside fellow bombshell Tom. She had a brief connection with Chris, but ultimately decided that she and Joshua Ritchie had a stronger connection.
Joanna Chimonides (Love Island series 5**)**
Joanna Chimonides entered the villa on day 16 and immediately hit it off with Chris. However, the pair were left vulnerable after being voted least compatible, and she was sent home from the villa on day 25.
Casey O'Gorman (Love Island series 9)
Casey O'Gorman entered the villa on day 16, and we suspect it's mainly because he missed his bestie, Tom. After coupling up with Kaz and Eve, Casey was dumped from the villa on day 28. He is currently starring on Love Island: All Stars 2025.
Joe Garratt (Love Island series 5)
The dreamy sandwich man entered the villa on day 22 and was dumped a mere three days later on day 25. Would we have loved to see more of Joe? Yes. But do we love a shocking and brutal dumping? That's an even bigger yes.
Jess Gale (Love Island series 6)
Jess entered the villa for the second time on day 16. This time around she got a second try at coupling up with Callum, and the pair finished in second place.
Eve Gale (Love Island series 6)
Did you really think one twin would enter the villa without the other? Eve entered with her sister, Jess, on day 22. She was dumped on day 28 after a sudden break-up with Casey.
Adam Maxted (Love Island series 2)
Adam from series 2 and made an immediate beeline for Arabella. They dated briefly IRL after being dumped from the show.
Who won Love Island: All Stars 2024?
Molly Smith and Tom Clare won the series, and are still together a year on. Callum Jones and Jess Gale were the runners-up and Josh Ritchie and Sophie Piper finished in third place. Josh and Sophie are also still together.
Were there any rows in the Love Island villa?
There wasn't anything sensational, but Molly and Georgia S didn't see eye to eye, neither did Anton and Mitch (remember that iconic kitchen row), oh, and of course, Georgia H's and Casey's fire pit squabble is burned into our memories. Sadly, while they didn't clash in the villa, it looks as though Kaz and Liberty are no longer besties, although we're not quite sure why...
When was Love Island: All Stars announced?
ITV took to Instagram on Tuesday 5 September 2023 to finally put us all out of our misery and confirm that the Love Island: All Stars 'rumours are true' and the spin-off will be 'coming soon' to ITV2.
They wrote, 'The rumours are true! 💛 #LoveIsland: All Stars is coming soon.'

Who was rumoured for Love Island: All Stars 2024?
Many of our confirmed returning Islanders were rumoured for All Stars, but so were the likes of Megan Barton-Hanson, Olivia Attwood (for some reason – she's married now, boos) and Amy Hart – that one was half true, btw. Amy co-hosted the Love Island podcast alongside reality legends Indiyah Polack and Sam Thompson.
