One former Love Island star has dropped a major hint that she may be returning for the highly anticipated Love Island: All Stars series.
The upcoming season is set to bring back former contestants of the hit ITV2 show, who will once again enter the villa in an attempt to find love. The buzz around which familiar faces will return has already started, with a few stars teasing their possible appearances.
Paige Thorne Sparks Rumours of All Stars Return
Paige Thorne, 27, who first rose to fame on the 2022 season of Love Island, has sparked speculation that she might be heading back into the villa for the All Stars series. Her potential return was hinted at in a cryptic social media post, which has gotten fans talking.
While other rumoured returnees include Leanne Amaning, Nas Majeed, and former winner Ekin-Su, Paige’s recent Instagram activity has raised eyebrows.
In a playful exchange on Snapchat, Paige responded to a fan’s comment saying, “Can’t wait to see you on Love Island!!” Paige teased a return by posting a revealing message. She shared a photo of herself relaxing by a luxury pool in a lilac bikini with tiny shorts, writing: “I am in need of some sunshine tbf” alongside a palm tree emoji and a yellow heart. The yellow heart emoji has become synonymous with Love Island due to its prominent appearance in the show’s iconic title sequence, leading many to believe this is a subtle hint that Paige is indeed gearing up for the All Stars series.
Paige’s New Romance with Rugby Star Brendan Owen
This news comes shortly after it was revealed that Paige has been secretly dating a hunky South African rugby player. She recently flew halfway across the world to spend time with Brendan Owen, who plays for the Japanese team, Canon Eagles. An insider shared, “Paige is currently in Japan with her new man Brendan Owen. He has been showing her around the country, and it’s been really romantic.”
While the long-distance relationship may present challenges, the couple is enjoying their time together. The insider continued, “She’s really happy but it’s obviously going to be tricky to have a full-on romance, but they are just enjoying it while they can.”
Despite her new romance, the allure of Love Island appears to have a strong pull, as Paige’s cryptic post leaves fans wondering if she could be heading back to the villa.
Love Island: All Stars Rumours for 2025
The second series of Love Island: All Stars will return in 2025, and the speculation about who will be making a comeback is heating up. The announcement of the new season in May has already stirred up excitement, with show boss Mike Spender revealing that many former islanders have reached out expressing interest in returning.
“Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards,” Spender shared. “We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out. I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars.”
Harry Baker and Other Rumoured Stars for All Stars
One former islander who has also teased a return is data engineer Harry Baker from Series 11. Despite his brief time on the show, where he made a splash by ‘stealing’ Grace Jackson, Harry has captured the attention of fans. He lasted only a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca, but viewers have since called for his return.
When one fan tweeted, “Get you in All Stars next,” Harry cryptically replied with a series of ‘shrugging’ emojis, which only fueled the speculation.
