ITV has officially unveiled the complete roster of returning Islanders for the highly anticipated Love Island: All Stars 2026 series. The show is set to make a dramatic comeback to ITV2 and ITVX later this month, promising another round of romance, drama, and high-stakes coupling for its beloved alumni.
Meet the 2026 All Stars Cast
The broadcaster confirmed a diverse mix of twelve familiar faces from across the show's history. The line-up includes fan favourites like Millie Court from series seven and last year's Islander, Helena Ford. They will be joined by series ten's Whitney Adebayo and winner Jess Harding, as well as Tommy Bradley from the 2025 series.
Completing the cast are a host of other memorable contestants. Viewers can expect to see series five's Belle Hassan, series six's Leanne Amaning, and series eleven's Ciaran Davies. The male contingent also features Jack Keating (son of Boyzone's Ronan Keating) from series eight, series eleven's Sean Stone, series four's Charlie Frederick, and series nine's Shaq Muhammad.
Jama Returns as Host and Past Winners' Legacy
Once again, the iconic villa will be under the stewardship of presenter Maya Jama, who returns to host the third All Stars series. The show's premise remains: giving past contestants with "unfinished business" a second chance at finding love in the sun-drenched South African setting.
The legacy of previous All Stars winners looms large. The inaugural 2024 series was won by Molly Smith and Tom Clare, a couple who are still together and recently got engaged. In contrast, the 2025 champions, Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen, who split the £50,000 prize, parted ways mere months after leaving the villa.
Hints and Anticipation Build
Speculation about the cast had been rife for weeks. Last week, 2025 winner Casey O'Gorman heavily hinted at a return when he posted a cryptic photo of a South African motorway on his Instagram Story with the caption, "We meet again." This followed an ITV teaser in December, which promised the return of Islanders with unresolved romantic histories.
With the full line-up now public, fans are eagerly analysing potential connections and rivalries. The series brings together Islanders from different eras of the show, setting the stage for unexpected couplings and dramatic confrontations.
Love Island: All Stars 2026 begins broadcasting later this January on ITV2 and the ITVX streaming service.
