Former Love Island star Teddy Soares has sent fans into a frenzy, sparking intense speculation that he could be set for a dramatic return to the villa in the upcoming All Stars series. The rumours ignited after the podcaster posted a cryptic clip from a tropical holiday, confirming his current single status.
A Cryptic Clue Fuels Speculation
The 31-year-old, who shot to fame on the hit ITV2 dating show in 2021, shared a teasing video on TikTok. Posing in an unbuttoned black shirt, Teddy appeared relaxed as he toasted the camera with a drink. The text overlay on the clip read: 'Might be single for the holidays. Won't be sober though.' He captioned the post: 'Tis the season to be jolly.'
Fans were quick to connect the dots, noting the interesting timing with the Love Island: All Stars launch rumoured to be just weeks away. One follower pointedly commented: 'All Stars in three weeks.' The Daily Mail has approached representatives for Teddy Soares for comment regarding the swirling rumours.
Faye Winter's Journey Since the Split
Teddy originally entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell on Day 12 in 2021. He ultimately finished in third place with his then-girlfriend, Faye Winter. Their relationship lasted for a year-and-a-half after the show before they announced a 'heartbreaking and difficult' split in February 2023.
In a candid interview earlier this year, Faye, 30, revealed she chose to be celibate for two years following the breakup to rediscover herself. She told The Sun: 'I've been single for two years, and I'm the happiest I've ever been.' The TV star admitted they stayed together 'longer than we should have' and that she felt 'lonely' and 'vulnerable' at the relationship's end.
Faye also addressed rumours that Teddy had cheated, sparked by his own podcast discussion about messaging someone while in a past relationship. She insisted she now has 'nothing to say to Teddy' and is focused on her own wellbeing. While she says she's since had 'some great sex', she is not currently looking for anything serious.
What's Next for the Islanders?
The potential for Teddy's return to the Love Island franchise adds a new layer of intrigue to the anticipated All Stars series. His journey from finding love with Faye to their public split and her subsequent candid revelations about life after the villa has been closely followed by fans.
Faye has credited prioritising her health and her dogs for helping her through the tough period, stating that putting herself first was 'the best decision I've ever made.' As for Teddy, his ambiguous social media post has successfully set the rumour mill alight, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting official confirmation on the All Stars line-up.
