Love Island icon enters All Stars as surprise bombshell – and it’s good news for Tina after Scott’s exit
A FORGOTTEN Love Island lad from series seven has entered All Stars as a shock bombshell.
He lasted just two days in 2021 after losing out to another Islander to win a spot in the villa.
The Sun can reveal that ripped rugby lad Chuggs is now taking a second try at finding love and has arrived in the Cape Town love nest.
He lost out to Brad McClelland in 2021 when the duo had to vie to be chosen by bombshell Rachel Finni.
But since then Chuggs - real name Oliver Wallis- has become part of the Love Island furniture as best pals with Liam Reardon, Aaron Francis, Millie Court and Chloe Burrows and is a constant on their group trips.
And he’s quite the catch - having made a huge success of his rugby, surf and ski merch business Booby.

A source said: “Whilst Chuggs might not have made the biggest impact on the show, he’s part of the woodwork now and all the islanders will have met him out and about.
“Bosses always felt like he was one of the ones that got away and he’ll have a huge backing on the outside of Millie and the gang.
“Everyone is excited for Chuggs’ round two.”
Chuggs - whose name is thought to be a combination of cuddles and hugs - will be hoping for better luck in All Stars after being the second islander to be evicted in 2021.
