She has starred in two previous series of the show
ONE former Love Island star and fan-favourite from a past series pulled out of bombshell talks for the All Stars spin-off after finding love with a new man.

This meant that the starlet decided not to take the discussions any further, and in turn, pulled out of talks and dashed any hopes of her making a villa comeback.
A source told The Sun: "Bosses were really keen to sign Megan, as she makes great telly and all the lads would fancy her.
"They had discussions but then Megan unexpectedly met someone and has started dating.
"It’s early days and not super serious, but she wants to give things a go.

"The powers that be are gutted, but they’re hopeful they might be able to persuade her to sign up next time if things don’t work out with her new man."
Megan Barton-Hanson first appeared on the fourth season of Love Island in 2018.
During her first stint on the show, Meghan was romantically linked to Eyal Booker and Wes Nelson.
She then returned for the Love Island Games in 2023, although her stint was short-lived.

Yesterday we revealed that there are two elements of the show being axed this year, as well as big twists on the way in week two.
TWISTS AND TURNS AHEAD
Chatting with us ahead of the show's launch, executive producer Mike Spencer lifted the lid on what's being axed, and what's going to be "lit".
"Remember that little guy, that treehouse?" he asked, "It didn't work. We didn't do it last year either," Mike said, confirming that the treehouse would not be making a comeback this year.
He then spoke about something else they don't usually do for All Stars - Casa Amor.
"We don't tend to do Casa Amor for this one," he said.

"We didn’t last year, because it's only five weeks," he added, before revealing something incredibly exciting.
"But we've got something really fun," he teased, "probably week two."
