When does Love Island All Stars 2026 start?
According to tabloids, Love Island All Stars will start on Monday, 12th January.
On top of that, ITV have also revealed that the third series will be the longest ever, following last year’s series which was the most watched so far.
Although we’re yet to confirm who will be heading into the South African villa to find love again, we do know the All Stars rumoured cast is hotting up!
Whitney Adebayo, Remell Ellis-Mullings, Curtis Pritchard, Lana Jenkins and Ronnie Vint are just a few names whose are reportedly going to the villa again.
However, in a shocking turn of events, ITV bosses have revealed a list of past contestants that have been “banned” from returning, because they took part in Love Island The Games recently.
A source explained to the tabloids explained the reasoning, saying: “Because Love Island Games S2 broadcast so recently – especially on UK TV – ITV bosses don’t want viewers to get ‘cast fatigue’ by seeing the same old faces pop up on All Stars 3.
“So the idea is that if an Islander appeared on Games series 2, they probably won’t be back on ITV in January.”
