Love Island All-Stars 2025 - all the rumoured contestants with just weeks to go until show's return

It's that time of year again when a handful of our fave single islanders from previous Love Island seasons head to the South African villa in hopes to find love yet again. The show will once again be hosted by Maya Jama and will no doubt involve some awkward reunions.

Last series saw the reunion of exes Callum Jones and Molly Smith, and although they chose to couple up at the start, things didn't work out for the pair. They both moved on, with Molly taking home the crown and £50,000 along with new boyfriend, Tom Clare. Now, a whole new bunch of islanders will be entering the villa in hopes to find their happy ending. As of yet, no official line-up as been announced, but there are plenty of rumoured names floating about. We take a look at who we could be seeing heading into the famous villa...

Paige Thorne

Paige Thorne entered the villa in 2022, where she built a connection with Jacques O'Neill. However, she was left heartbroken when Jacques decided to leave the show.

However, then came the surprise return of season four islander, Adam Collard. The two formed a relationship which carried on in the outside world, however, they split just a couple of months after.

A source told the The Sun: "Paige was in talks to do All Stars earlier this year, but things didn’t quite work out, and she didn’t make the final cut . This time around, producers are really keen to have her back. They think she is the perfect addition to spice things up."

Luca Bish

Another season 8 face rumoured to join the show is Luca Bish. He got to the final with Michael Owen's daughter, Gemma Owen, although sadly, they split just three months later.

Having appeared on shows including Celebrity MasterChef since his departure, Luca is now rumoured to want to try and find love once again on the ITV show.

Olivia Hawkins

Olivia Hawkins appeared in the winter series of the show in 2023 and created quite the stir. From her love triangle with Tom Clare and Zara Denis to her speech to Kai Fagan around the fire pit after Casa Amor, Olivia wasn't afraid to hold back.

She didn't find love the first time around, but it's rumoured she'll be trying yet again, as a source said bosses were 'keen to get the breakout star' to sign up again.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu

Ekin-Su appeared in season 8 of the show (2022) and went on to win it with her partner at the time, Davide Sanclimenti. The pair lasted for 18 months outside the villa, calling it quits in January 2024. It wouldn't be Ekin's first time back on reality TV, taking part in Celebrity Big Brother shortly after her split. Now, she's rumoured to be heading into the villa once again.

“'Ekin-Su has been the number one priority for casting producers; they know fans would love to see her return to the villa. She was so iconic during her first appearance on the show, and now she's single again at the perfect time,” a source told MailOnline.

Tyrique Hyde

Tyrique Hyde rose to fame in 2023 while taking part in season 10 of the show. Despite having 'never been in a relationship or love' before, the star fell head over heels for Ella Thomas.

The couple came runners-up in the series but, in heartbreaking news to fans, confirmed they'd gone their separate ways in March 2024. Despite various rumours over the past few months of the couple rekindling, sources claim he's set to join the new series as he was "a huge fan favourite."

However, the source continued to question whether he was over his ex, as they've been spotted out a number of times since their breakup.

Curtis Pritchard

Curtis rose to fame on the 2019 series of the show, where he reached the final with now ex-girlfriend, Maura Higgins. During his time on the show, the star even had a 'bromance' with Tommy Fury. Now, he's rumoured to be giving the villa another shot six years later.

A source told The Sun: “Curtis signing for All Stars is more than awkward for Maura just as she’s fallen for Pete and they’ve finally gone public with their love. Love Island bosses are in the process of confirming the Islanders who will launch January’s show and Curtis might not make that line-up — but he is in the cast of bombshells to land later in the series.”

Grace Jackson

Rumoured bombshell Grace Jackson would be the most familiar to the villa, appearing in season 11 this summer. She rekindled her fling with Joey Essex, before Jessy Potts came and took his attention away. Grace then left the villa with Reuben. However, it wasn't long before they called it quits on the outside world.

She was then rumoured to be dating Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, although a source recently told The Sun: “She realised there was no future, so she has decided to cut ties." The source then continued to claim Grace 'jumped at the chance' when the opportunity arose to take part in All-Stars.

Lucinda Strafford

Lucinda Strafford entered season 7 as a bombshell alongside Millie Court in 2021. Although she didn't find love the first time around, she then entered the Australian version of the show two years later.

She found love with Zac Nunns, although it wasn't meant to be, and the couple went their separate ways just four months later. If the rumours are true, could it be third time lucky for Lucinda?

A source told The Sun: "Lucinda has had her fair share of heartbreak this year, and she’s looking for a fresh chance at love."

ITV is not commenting on any rumoured Islanders until the official line-up is announced, as a spokesperson said: “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”
