Who could be heading for a winter of love this January?
Love Island fans, get ready! Love Island All Stars is set to return, bringing together some of the most beloved—and fiery—contestants from seasons past. With Maya Jama at the helm, over two dozen former Islanders are rumoured to re-enter the villa, rekindling old flames or sparking new connections, all while vying for the ultimate prize: a £50,000 cash jackpot.
While the official line-up has yet to be confirmed, speculation about who might be jetting off to the sun-drenched villa is running wild. With whispers of awkward reunions and long-standing feuds resurfacing, the upcoming season promises to be packed with drama, romance, and surprises.
Here’s a look at the rumoured contestants for Love Island All Stars 2025:
Lucinda Strafford
- First Appeared: Season 7 (2021)
Lucinda debuted as a bombshell during the 2021 summer season, quickly shaking things up. Coupled with multiple Islanders, including Brad McClelland, Danny Bibby, and Aaron Francis, her journey ended when she was dumped on day 28.
Not one to give up on love, Lucinda crossed borders to appear on Love Island Australia in 2023. There, she found romance with Zac Nunns, with the duo finishing as runners-up before splitting four months later.
A source told The Sun: “Lucinda has had her fair share of heartbreak this year, and she’s looking for a fresh chance at love.” Could a return to All Stars in 2025 give Lucinda the love story she’s been searching for?
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
- First Appeared: Season 8 (2022)
Ekin-Su entered the villa as an early bombshell and wasted no time stirring up the drama. Ultimately, her chemistry with Davide Sanclimenti led them to win the season. The pair dated for 18 months before their split in January 2024.
Since her time on the show, Ekin-Su has appeared on Dancing on Ice and Celebrity Big Brother. Reports suggest she’s in the final stages of negotiations to join All Stars. A source revealed: “There’s huge hope she’s finally agreed to take a second chance at finding long-lasting love in front of the nation.”
Paige Thorne
- First Appeared: Season 8 (2022)
Paige had a rollercoaster experience during her season, navigating multiple couplings, heartbreak, and fiery confrontations. From her initial pairing with Luca Bish to her emotional connection with Jacques O’Neill, and her late-game romance with Adam Collard, Paige’s journey was full of twists.
Producers are reportedly keen to have Paige back for All Stars. A source stated: “She’s the perfect addition to spice things up.” Will Paige’s return bring closure—or even new beginnings?
Tyrique Hyde
- First Appeared: Season 10 (2023)
Paired by the public with Ella Thomas, Tyrique quickly became a fan favorite during the 2023 summer season. Though briefly coupled with Leah Taylor, Tyrique and Ella reunited, staying together until they placed third. The pair split in March 2024, but rumors suggest Tyrique might be giving the villa another chance.
A source hinted: “The real question is: is he over Ella? ITV only wants Islanders in the villa to find love.”
Grace Jackson’s Love Island Journey
- First Appeared: Season 11 (2024)
Grace entered the villa on day 12 of the 2024 summer season, instantly causing a stir as the ex of fellow Islander Joey Essex. Their rekindled romance made headlines, but it wasn’t without its fair share of drama. Joey ended things with Samantha Kenny to pursue Grace, much to Samantha’s dismay. However, their reunion was short-lived, as cracks in their relationship quickly resurfaced.
After parting ways with Joey, Grace became one of the most sought-after Islanders in the villa. Bombshell Konnor was the first to steal her away, followed by a coupling with Reuben Collins. The drama doesn’t stop there, as newcomer Harry chooses Grace, only for her to later recouple with Blade during Casa Amor. When Blade was dumped, she returned to Reuben, only to be eliminated on day 52 after a public vote.
While Grace and Reuben left the villa as a couple, their romance fizzled out shortly after leaving the show.
Could Grace Be Heading Back for Love Island All Stars?
Despite her turbulent time in the villa, Grace’s story might not end. According to her representative, discussions about her return for Love Island All Stars 2025 are underway. A source close to the star told The Sun: “Grace has been approached for All Stars, and we are considering all options at the moment.”
If Grace returns, fans can expect her signature blend of romance, drama, and unpredictability to spice things up in the villa. She’s sure to be a standout contestant with her history of fiery relationships and bold moves.
