Ekin first appeared on Love Island back in 2022 as a bombshell and went on to win by a landslide vote with her villa boyfriend Davide Saclimenti.
She was branded a “chaotic masterpiece” during her first time in the villa and became an immediate hit with fans.
A source said: “ITV bosses have long wanted Ekin back in Love Island and she’s finally agreed.
“After she split with Davide last January bosses immediately put her on their wish list.

“It took a lot of back and forth to persuade her to go back into the villa, especially after Ekin had such a tough time on Celebrity Big Brother.
“But she wants to use this new stint on Love Island All Stars to redeem herself and remind the public why they love her.
"ITV bosses haven't decided if she'll be a day one star, or a bombshell, but whatever happens she is telly gold and is going to be an incredible addition to the line up."
The Sun revealed earlier today that India Reynolds had also signed up to take part in the new series.

Outside of the villa the pair’s romance hit the skids at the end of last year, with Ekin later confirming in January 2024 that the relationship was over.
She said: “The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other.
“Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways..
“Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy will be respected. I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made.”
