LOVE Island: All Stars have lined up a stunning new bombshell ahead of the show’s launch, The Sun can reveal.
AJ Bunker rose to prominence in 2021 during the show’s seventh series, and has been single since splitting from her partner last year, accusing him of cheating.
A source told us: “AJ’s first stint in the villa may have been short but she definitely made an impression and is still one of the most talked about Islanders today.
“Bosses are thrilled she’s up for another go at the show – AJ says it how it is and will pull no punches.
“She makes great TV and will bring the drama for sure.”
While AJ didn’t have much luck finding romance inside the ITV2 villa, she later got into a relationship and appeared smitten.

But last year, she told The Sun that she had caught her partner being unfaithful.
She said in August: “I’m very single, I had a boyfriend and found out he met with his ex behind my back, lied to me about a lot of stuff.
“And I caught him…I turned up to his house on a day that we were meant to have our date and caught him on loudspeaker…you can’t write this stuff.
AJ continued: “I caught him on loudspeaker talking about another woman.”
At the time, she even expressed interest in appearing on All Stars.
“I’m very single, All Stars take me on and help me find love. I haven’t heard anything so far, but guys I’m calling out to you…I need to find love,” said AJ.
Since the show, AJ has taken on a career in boxing, fighting for Misfits Boxing. However, she hasn’t fought this year.
She joins a number of former islanders who have already signed up to enter the villa again – from Millie Court to Ronnie Vint.
Love Island: All Stars is set to return in the new year, with host Maya Jama confirming this week that filming for the show is already under way.
She shared snaps from the programme’s London set where she has been filming promos and introductory content.
It is understood the Islanders were recording their entry VTs ahead of the Christmas and New Year break before flying out ahead of the launch on January 12.
