One lad is newly single and another contestant is known for having fiery rows
LOVE Island All Stars is back with a set of very familiar faces all looking for love on the ITV2 dating show.
A controversial star, a newly-single lad, a series two OG and a stunning model are all in the line-up.
The new spin-off series will kick off on 13 January, with contestants already in South Africa and are awaiting their villa entrance.
The former Islanders are currently in hiding and trying to keep a low profile ahead of their All Stars debut.
But The Sun can reveal the full line-up today and it's set to be chaos with a mix of fiery characters and stunning bombshells.

He was coupled up with Amy Hart during his time in the villa but dumped her in memorable scenes after Casa Amor.
She then left the show after having her heart broken.
After his break-up with Amy, Curtis coupled up with Maura Higgins.
The pair came fourth on Love Island and dated for another nine months before breaking up at the beginning of 2020 after Curtis was accused of cheating on her.

Shortly after Maura started dating Curtis's former friend and Love Island co star Chris Taylor.
On his break up with Maura he told The Sun: “I feel betrayed by them both — two people I was very close to."
And his reappearance is bad timing for Maura, who is loved up with Strictly Come Dancing hunk Pete Wicks — spending Christmas with the 36-year-old in her native Ireland.
I’m A Celeb star Maura, 34, and Curtis, 28, hooked up on Love Island in 2019 and dated for eight months.
A source said: “Curtis signing for All Stars is more than awkward for Maura just as she’s fallen for Pete and they’ve finally gone public with their love.
“Her break-up with Curtis wasn’t the best and Maura always worried he’d be the ex that could blab.
“It’s also less than ideal when she’s hoping to build on her I’m A Celebrity profile and advance her career.
“Love Island bosses are in the process of confirming the Islanders who will launch January’s show and Curtis might not make that line-up — but he is in the cast of bombshells to land later in the series.”
Luca Bish

Luca Bish is heading back to the dating show.
Luca, 25, and Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, 21, fell in love during the ITV2 show’s summer series in 2022, and came runners up to Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti, but split three months later.
Now he is back for the All Stars spin-off series in Cape Town, South Africa, which Maya Jama will host in January.
A TV source said: “This is the last thing Gemma wants because in the last year she’s tried to keep her personal life private.
“Their break-up was shrouded in secrecy and neither has discussed it, but it did not end well.
“He hinted he was blindsided by the break-up when she posted it online and this is his time to spill the beans.”
Luca hit headlines on his last Love Island stint with complaints over his alleged bullying behaviour towards the girls.
Viewers raised concerns with regulator Ofcom, saying he was gaslighting Gemma, with 2,481 complaints after one row. Women’s Aid also condemned his “controlling behaviour”.
Luca apologised after the show and said: “With my controlling behaviour, it took me watching it back to realise what I had done.”
Olivia Hawkins

Olivia Hawkins is returning to screens in Love Island All Stars later this month.
The stunning brunette actress, 29, who first appeared on the series in 2023, is set to jet out to South Africa, where the series is filmed, next week.
It comes after the one-time Michelle Keegan body double split from her on-screen boyfriend Maxwell Samuda, 25, shortly after the show wrapped.
A source said: “Olivia is really excited to be returning to South Africa and continuing her Love Island journey.
She feels like she’s got lots to offer still and would love to meet someone. She’s adored the limelight since she first came out of the villa, but would like to find romance.”
Scott Thomas

Scott Thomas is giving the villa another go.
The hunk, whose famous soap star brothers Ryan and Adam have previously appeared with him on screen, is still single after appearing on the second season of the ITV2 series in 2016.
But Scott, has grown up a lot since then, quitting partying and booze, and heading up a successful PR agency.
Now he fancies a second shot at love.
An insider said: “Scott is way more mature than he was when he first appeared and wants to show the world a new side.
“He thinks it would be a great way to publicise his podcast and his company.
“He also thinks it could be a lot of fun, and would love to find real romance.”
Scott, whose ex Kady McDermott returned to the villa as a bombshell in 2023, has previously revealed he regrets turning down the chance to appear in All Stars this year.
Elma Pazar

Towie legend Elma Pazar is lined up to take part in the All Stars series.
The 30-year-old shot to fame on the fifth series of the ITV2 dating show in 2019 and is now a regular on The Only Way Is Essex.
A source exclusively told us: "Elma is in talks to go into All Stars at some point - her years on Towie mean she's great TV and she didn't really get a fair chance at finding love when she was in the villa the first time round."
Elma originally entered the Love Island villa on day 10 alongside Maura Higgins.
She caught the eye of Anton Danyluk and he picked her at the recoupling ceremony.
But days later was put up for the public vote with the Scotsman, alongside Lucie Donlan and Joe Garrat.
The public decided to send Elma and Joe home on day 16.
Elma then delighted fans when she joined the cast of Towie in 2022.
The lash technician has been involved in a number of storylines including her failed romance with Diags.
Ronnie Vint

Ronnie Vint was spotted last night on his way to South Africa.
The TV hunk has agreed to take part in the second series of the show.
Ronnie, 28, was spotted by a fellow traveller on board a British Airways flight leaving Gatwick for Cape Town on Sunday night.
The Sun's exclusive footage shows the former football star settling into his premium economy seat for the red eye flight.
A source said: "Ronnie was a breakout star of Love Island last summer and while his hopes of finding love may not have worked out, he fancies a second shot in the villa.
"He also isn't afraid to ruffle feathers, play the field and he'll also have the support of his pals Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack behind him.
"If his ex Harriett Blackmore is also in the villa, however, things could get very awkward very quickly."
Ronnie and Harriett split just weeks after leaving the Love Island villa last summer.
He previously told The Sun how he was looking forward to the next chapter, though admitted he hadn't been on a date since his split.
India Reynolds

The model, 33, is currently in hiding in South Africa ahead of her villa entrance.
It comes after India told The Sun in November that she was "in talks" with producers to return to the dating show.
A source has now told The Sun: "India was a huge star during her time on the show – she is stunning and great TV.
"She flew out to South Africa over the weekend and is now in hiding waiting for the show to kick off.
"India is a bit older than some of the other cast and really is looking to find The One."
India starred on series five in 2019 and finished third place with basketball player Ovie Soko - but they split just four months after leaving the villa.
She admitted that dating post Love Island was difficult, but said that hasn't deterred her from giving the show a second shot.
Just two months ago, India said was keen to join the new All Stars cast.
India told The Sun: "I'm so on the fence, I'm a never say never person.
" I feel like I'm a little bit older now, when I did it it was five years ago now. I think I'd be a little bit different.
Gabby Allen

Gabby Allen is back on the show.
Personal trainer Gabby, 32, came fourth with Blazin’ Squad’s Marcel Somerville in 2017.
But a year later she was linked to Jac’s husband Dan Osborne after they were pictured getting close on a yacht in Marbella.
Jacqueline, 32, who plays EastEnders’ Lauren Branning, later walked out on Towie star Dan, 33, after learning he’d sent her a flirty message.
A source said: “Gabby being back in the spotlight is the last thing Jac and Dan need and will no doubt bring back memories for Jac.
“Gabby did not reply to the message, but has been seen as ‘the other woman’.”
Nas Majeed

Newly-single fan favourite Nas Majeed is giving romance in the villa another chance.
We can reported last month how he was "in talks" for the series.
It comes after his split from partner and fellow Love Island co-star Eva Zapico, 26.
The reality stars found love in the 2020 series after Eva entered as a Casa Amor bombshell and stole Nas's heart from Demi Jones.
Nas has now moved out of their shared home and a source was first to tell us at the time: "Everyone loved Nas when he was on the show the first time so when he became single again of course he got called in for talks.
Back in March, The Sun was first to report Nas and Eva's break-up.
A source exclusively told us at the time: "Eva and Nas have decided to split - it's a very sad situation for both of them but it was the right one.
"They separated in mid-Feb, it was Eva's decision to end it with Nas.
"He has been left devastated and heartbroken and has already moved out of their shared flat, and has now moved back in with his parents as he searches for somewhere to live."
They added: "There was no cheating but Eva thought the relationship had ran its course and decided to end it.
"They seemed to be the fairytale couple and one of the best success stories of Love Island - but there was obviously problems with their relationship.
"Eva is understandably sad but said it’s the best thing for her."
Marcel Somerville

Marcel Somerville has signed up for All Stars - despite STILL being married.
The reality star, who appeared on series three back in 2017, is back for another villa rendezvous.
In February it was revealed that Marcel, 38, had walked out on his wife Rebecca Vieira after she was accused of cheating on him with a US pop star.
Days later Rebecca admitted to "cheating" on the Blazin Squad star and issued a grovelling apology.
An insider said Marcel is set to return to the villa - but some fans have insisted that he should "get a divorce" before going on the show.
In November, The Sun revealed that Marcel was one of the names in the running for the line-up.
An insider has now revealed: "Marcel Sommerville has had meetings with bosses about doing All Stars in January and he is toying with it.
"The cast has not been confirmed yet but he is keen for a fresh start after everything he has been through in his private life.
"Things have been on and off with him and Rebecca though so if they decide to give things another go, he may not do it but right now, it’s looking promising.
"Producers would love to have him back."
Kaz Crossley

Kaz Crossley is giving romance on the island another go.
It comes just weeks after Kaz called it quits from her secret tattooed boyfriend.
Last month, Kaz deleted posts of her and the mystery man from her Instagram as she prepare to film Love Island All Stars in the New Year.
Kaz, who recently won The Challenge UK, hit the headlines after her stint in Love Island series 4
She was questioned by authorities over a video which appeared to show her snorting an illicit substance.
Now it appears she's embarking on her next reality TV adventure.
Kaz, 28, was coupled up with Josh Denzel on the show and they finished in third place, but their romance fizzled out after six months.
Catherine Agbaje

Catherine is heading back to the villa for a second chance at finding love.
The 24-year-old first found fame during the summer series last year but failed to find a connection.
Catherine enjoyed brief romances with Zachariah Noble, Scott van der Sluis and Elom Ahlijah-Wilson during her time on the show.
The Sun revealed last month how she was in talks for All Stars.
A source said: "Catherine is top of the bosses lists and she’s in talks.
"She was hugely popular when she went on the show the first time around - and obviously was heartbroken when things didn’t turn out the way everyone wanted with Scott.
"So she’s single and ready to find love on the show again."
Bombshell entrances?
Each series has a string of hot single bombshells making their epic entrance into the villa - and this year will be no different.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
13
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is hoping for another villa romance - two and a half years after winning the show.
The 30-year-old won £50,000 with then-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti before their heartbreaking split.
A TV source said last month: "Ekin-Su has been the number one priority for casting producers, they know fans would love to see her return to the villa.
"The deal is agreed in principle, there's still some details to sort out.
"Ekin's in her 30s now too, she really wants to meet someone genuine who she can settle down with and after seeing it happen for last year's All Stars winners, she's keeping her fingers crossed she can be next."
Ekin-Su previously told how Davide’s “endless deceit” led to the end of their 18-month relationship.
The Italian heart-throb was accused of cheating with model Harriet Wilson in March 2023.

However, Davide — who is still friends with Harriet and her partner — denies the allegations.
He said: “I genuinely was in love with Ekin, but she broke my heart and I had no choice but to leave the relationship for my own sanity."
