Love Island All Stars is set for its most dramatic episode yet as three new bombshells enter the villa, promising chaos, a major recoupling twist, and a text message that will upend the game.
Familiar Faces Return for Another Shot at Love
Tonight's episode on ITV2 will see the arrival of three former islanders: AJ Bunker (33), Samie Elishi (25), and Konnor Ewudzi (30). Each is returning to the iconic villa with a renewed determination to find a romantic connection.
Samie, who was a finalist in the 2023 series and made a brief All Stars appearance last year, claims she has "grown up so much" since her last stint. She is already making her intentions clear, telling the male contestants she is looking for "an actual man, not a boy."
AJ, who first appeared on the show's seventh series in 2021, says she is genuinely hoping for love this time and plans to use her new boxing skills as a "flirting technique." She admits she was too reserved during her original series and is ready to speak her mind.
Rugby player Konnor, who debuted in 2024, is motivated by seeing his friends settle down. "I turned 30 in November," he shared, "so my friends around me are getting engaged, having kids, and I’m wondering, ‘When is it my turn?'"
A Shock Recoupling and a Game-Changing Text
The episode will feature the first recoupling of the series, an event initially delayed due to the wildfires in South Africa. In a tense twist, only one boy, bombshell Scott-Van-der-Sluis, will have the power to choose his partner, despite already having sparks with both Leanne and Millie.
The drama intensifies when the three new bombshells arrive after this recoupling. Konnor will be the first to enter, and producers have teased that he immediately receives a text which "changes everything and makes his impact immediately felt," with an even bigger twist still to come.
AJ Targets a Taken Man
It appears AJ Bunker could be the catalyst for the most significant upheaval so far. She has already set her sights on Shaq, who is currently in a couple. In a preview clip, Shaq tells AJ during a one-to-one chat, "When you came in yesterday I’m not going to lie, you kind of took my breath away… I feel like we have an energy already."
AJ has hinted she is ready to be more assertive, stating she was previously "being reserved" and is now prepared to not put her own feelings aside. This suggests she will not hesitate to turn heads and potentially break up existing pairs.
Love Island: All Stars continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
