Former Love Island champion Millie Court is making a dramatic return to television, stepping into the Love Island: All Stars villa just months after her final split from series partner Liam Reardon. The Essex native, who won the show's seventh series in 2021 alongside Reardon, is seeking love once again on the ITV2 spin-off.
From Winners to Parting Ways: The Millie and Liam Timeline
Millie Court, 29, and Liam Reardon, 26, captured the nation's hearts during the 2021 series of Love Island, ultimately being crowned winners and taking home the £50,000 prize. Their romance continued successfully off-screen, with the couple moving in together in Essex later that year.
However, their relationship faced its first major test in July 2022, when they announced an initial separation. Both took to social media to confirm the split, with Millie insisting no infidelity was involved and that it was simply not the right time for them.
In a surprising twist, the pair reconnected privately in April 2023, rekindling their romance around the Easter holiday. They managed to maintain a long-distance relationship for the next two years, with Millie based in Essex and London while Liam lived in Wales. Their connection even led to a joint venture, the Liam & Millie podcast, where they shared updates with their loyal fanbase.
The Final Split and Moving On
Despite their efforts, the couple announced their definitive breakup on 2 September 2025, nearly four years after their Love Island journey began. Sources close to the pair widely cited the challenges of their long-distance setup as the primary reason the relationship became unsustainable.
Since the split, their paths have diverged. Liam has been romantically linked to 21-year-old law student Lara Grace. Millie, meanwhile, has focused on her independence and is now embarking on a very public search for romance, entering the All Stars villa as a single woman.
What to Expect from Love Island: All Stars
The third season of Love Island: All Stars launched on 12 January, airing nightly at 9pm on ITV2 and streaming on ITVX. This series is set to be an extended run, spanning approximately six weeks of episodes.
Millie won't be the only familiar face in the villa. The cast includes fellow series 10 winner Jess Harding, last year's islander Helena Ford, and series 10's Whitney Adebayo. The male contestants feature series 11 runner-up Ciaran Davies, last year's Tommy Bradley, and Jack Keating—son of singer Ronan Keating—who originally appeared in season 8.
As Millie Court begins this new chapter, fans will be watching closely to see if the All Stars villa can deliver a second chance at finding lasting love for the former winner.
