Love Island: All Stars line-up ‘REVEALED’ as Maura Higgins’ ex joins show winner, iconic villain and MARRIED hunk in the sun-soaked villa for a second chance at love
Love Island: All Stars will be back on our screens next week, and it appears that the celebrity-filled cast list might have already been unveiled!
30-year-old host Maya Jama returns once more, ready to greet a fresh group of single individuals as they step into the opulent South African villa, all in search of romance.
In the competition held last year, Molly Smith and Tom Clare emerged victorious and received an impressive £50,000 as their prize.
In their newest collection, bosses have really gone above and beyond, featuring an array of personalities such as Maura Higgins’ past beau, a previous contest victor, and a legendary antagonist.
Some viewers might find it surprising that one of the hunks is still married, a fact that could undoubtedly stir up controversy within the villa.
TopMob takes a look at the star-studded line-up
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
Just recently, it was exclusively disclosed by TopMob that Ekin-Su was the initial cast member to commit to the upcoming season.
Previously victorious contestant, aged 30, who shared a £50,000 winnings with ex-partner Davide Sanclimenti in 2022, is set to gracefully reappear in the series, aiming to eventually establish a lasting relationship.
During her debut on the program, she quickly gained favor with ITV2 viewers as her tumultuous relationship with Davide, who is well-known for accusing Ekin of dishonesty and acting, unfolded.
Following a tough split earlier in the year, Ekin made an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother. However, her fellow housemates accused her of being insincere, causing her to skip the show finale due to an awkward wave of criticism.
Later on, Ekin confessed that she had been operating under survival instincts and revealed that she was burdened with much emotional weight due to her separation from Davide, who faced accusations of infidelity numerous times throughout their romance.
However, going back to the series that launched her fame, Ekin aims to reclaim her individuality and eventually discover a suitable partner to build a life together.
According to a TV insider, producers have listed Ekin-Su as their top choice for casting. They believe that viewers would eagerly anticipate her returning to the villa.
She made a striking impression during her debut on the program, and now, coincidentally, she’s single once more at an opportune moment.
The basic terms of the agreement have been established, however, certain specifics remain to be ironed out. Yet, there’s great optimism that she has decided to give another shot at discovering enduring love, this time under public scrutiny.
Ekin is currently in her thirties, and she’s eagerly looking for a sincere person to build a future with. After witnessing the success of last year’s All Stars contestants in finding love, she’s hopeful that she might be the one to do so next.
Since becoming famous through that series, Ekin’s career has flourished significantly. She has been selected for shows like Dancing on Ice, The Traitors US, and Celebrity Big Brother.
TopMob has approached ITV and Ekin’s spokesperson for comment.
Olivia Hawkins
As a lifestyle consultant, I’m excited to share that, despite some viewers labeling me a “villain,” I’ve been invited to join the cast again on the popular ITV dating show, following a divisive initial appearance.
In the 2023 winter series, the ex-ring girl and striking brunette found herself amidst the competition, adding a dash of drama to the villa and engaging in heated arguments with multiple fellow contestants.
As a devoted enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I am eagerly anticipating my return to South Africa, where I will continue my adventure on Love Island.
She believes she has much more to share and is keen on meeting someone. Ever since stepping out of the villa, she has cherished being in the spotlight, yet longs for a romantic connection.
TopMob has contacted Olivia’s representatives and ITV for comment.
Previously, Olivia stated that she faced a flood of online harassment, including threats of death, after being eliminated from the villa.
During her tenure on the program, she faced criticism as viewers rejoiced upon her elimination, saying something like “At last, the supposed witch has left.
During heated exchanges, Olivia earned the nickname ‘the villa manipulator’. She frequently butted heads with her fellow competitors.
During her time on the show, Olivia feuded with Zara Lackenby-Brown, and Tanyel Raven.
Additionally, it appears that Sanam Harrinanan had a disagreement with her after Olivia paired up with Kai Fagan during Casa Amor – even though Olivia too chose to recouple.
Olivia left the show paired up with Maxwell Samuda but they split shortly after filming wrapped.
Curtis Pritchard
Initially introduced on the program in 2019, Curtis has been mentioned as a potential subject of upcoming news, causing speculation that he may reveal details about his previous relationship with Maura Higgins, reportedly worrying her about potential disclosures.
In the villa, the “I’m a Celebrity” contestant, aged 34, and the professional dancer, 28 years old, initially crossed paths. Eventually, they ended up placing fourth overall in the competition.
Although their relationship started off strongly, it quickly lost its luster and ended just eight months into it, surrounded by whispers of unfaithfulness from both parties – accusations that they both firmly refute.
More recently, Maura captured attention on television due to her time in the jungle and open discussions about her relationship with TOWIE personality Pete Wicks. Meanwhile, Curtis is gearing up for a return to the limelight as well.
Personally, I can hardly contain my excitement as a die-hard fan, hearing whispers that Curtis is joining the All Stars lineup feels like a punch to the gut, given Maura’s blossoming romance with Pete and their recent public declaration of love. It’s just too much drama for my heart to handle!
The split between Maura and Curtis didn’t go smoothly, and she was concerned he might reveal private details about their relationship. This isn’t helpful as she aims to enhance her reputation from ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and further her career.
After Maura shared her Love Island journey on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, that’s when…
Regarding her former partner Curtis, she characterized him as someone who was more of an “anyway” type, implying that she went out with him because romantic opportunities were scarce within the villa setting.
When confined within a house for an extended period (X amount of time), you might find yourself growing fond of individuals you typically wouldn’t be drawn to.
Let me put this delicately: It seems that you possess qualities similar to those displayed on the reality show, Big Brother. In essence, you’re confined within a space, devoid of male company. Given this circumstance, it might feel tempting to engage in behavior reminiscent of the show.
India Reynolds
Initially, India Reynolds made her debut on the popular ITV series during its fifth season in 2019, securing a third-place finish alongside basketball player Ovie Soko. Subsequently, she has been residing in South Africa.
The couple had a short-lived romance and eventually split just four months after leaving the villa.
Currently, it’s being reported that the influencer, aged 34, has arrived in South Africa for filming purposes. She is said to be in secrecy there before causing a stir once more, according to The Sun.
60 days ago, India expressed her interest in becoming part of the cast for Love Island All Stars, hoping to take another chance at finding love.
She shared with The Sun that she’s been unattached for two years now and has been enjoying this independence, as she hasn’t pursued a serious relationship during this period.
TopMob has reach out to India’s representatives for comment.
Luca Bish
In addition, Luca is expected to join the upcoming series alongside a 25-year-old ex-fishmonger, who expressed interest in finding love, according to The Sun, following his initial show participation in 2022.
Two years back, he encountered influencer Gemma Owen, who is 21 and the offspring of a former footballer named Michael, on the program. However, their relationship didn’t last long; they parted ways a few months later, following their finish as runners-up.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must say that according to recent reports, it appears that Gemma may find herself grappling with discussing the breakup on the upcoming show, which will once more be under the insightful guidance of our beloved host, Maya Jama.
According to the source, Gemma has made efforts to maintain privacy regarding her personal life, so this recent development is likely not something she desires.
‘Their break-up was shrouded in secrecy and neither has discussed it, but it did not end well.
He suggested that he was taken aback when she announced their split on social media, and now seems ready to share his side of the story.
ITV has been contacted by TopMob for comment.
Some viewers alleged that Luca exhibited dominant behavior towards Gemma while they were both on the program.
Following their return to the UK, he expressed regret for certain behaviors and admitted that viewing himself on television left him feeling unfamiliar or out of sorts with who he was.
He faced allegations for his misogynistic actions and controlling behavior towards a girl who was 19 at that time, prompting some viewers to file complaints to Ofcom due to their concerns about the situation.
Gabby Allen
I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly anticipate Gabby Allen’s comeback! Rumors are swirling that she’s set to shake things up again, and if the past is any indicator, this could potentially rekindle old flames with Jacqueline Jossa and her husband, Dan Osborne. Oh, the drama! I just can’t wait to see what unfolds!
32-year-old celebrity gained popularity in 2017 by appearing on the reality dating program alongside Marcel Somerville from Blazin’ Squad, ultimately finishing in fourth place.
A year later, she made headlines due to rumors of her relationship with Dan, aged 33, after photos emerged showing them getting intimate on a yacht in Marbella.
The supposed flirting incident led to a split between Dan and Jackie, as she momentarily walked away from him upon learning about a flirtatious text he had written to Gabby from EastEnders.
Despite neither Gabby nor Dan admitting any misconduct, an event occurred that led to Gabby being referred to as ‘the other woman’. At that point in time, this label was challenging for Jacqueline, who is 32 years old.
Over time, the pair made up and currently share parenting responsibilities for their girls Ella, age 9, and Mia, 5, as well as Dan’s child Teddy, aged 10, from his past relationship.
Or more informally:
The couple worked things out and now are raising their girls Ella (9) and Mia (5), along with Dan’s boy Teddy (10) from an earlier relationship.
Gabby’s reappearance on-screen might stir up past recollections. According to a source who spoke to The Sun, “Having Gabby in the limelight again is something that Jacqueline and Daniel don’t want, and it will undoubtedly resurface memories for Jacqueline.
‘Gabby did not reply to the message, but has been seen as ‘the other woman.’
An ITV representative was rather vague, saying, “Any names being tossed around are mere speculation until we officially reveal our roster.
In Cape Town, South Africa, the All Stars series is filmed, where past participants from various seasons are combined intentionally, offering them another opportunity to find love.
Marcel Sommerville
In the aftermath of his separation last year, Gabriel’s previous partner and former member of Blazin’ Squad, Marcel, is likewise seeking love. Notably, he is still legally wed to Rebecca Vieira, whom he hopes to find happiness with in the future.
In August 2022, it was reported that model Rebecca allegedly exchanged flirtatious messages with American rapper Slim Jxmmi, secretly while she was married.
As a devoted follower, I myself vacated our familial abode and erased any digital remnants associated with me on social platforms prior to disclosing to TopMob in June of the previous year that my spouse and I were still united and eagerly anticipating what the future held.
Inquired about his romantic situation, Marcel shared: ‘Recently, I’ve experienced some pretty turbulent periods.’
Let’s save the discussion for another time; I’m still processing things, and I want to ensure we have a thorough understanding before discussing it further.
When asked about participating in “Love Island: All Stars” in the future, he confirmed that the couple is still together. He added that since he’s currently married, such an activity doesn’t align with his current perspective, and it wasn’t a possibility for him even at the previous time.
Kaz Crossley
Kaz
has also been confirmed as the second star set to appear on the latest series of Love Island All Stars, ahead of next week’s launch.
In 2018, the television personality, aged 30, featured on a reality program broadcasted by ITV. She advanced to the finale and ultimately ended up placing third alongside Josh Denzel.
A source close to the matter revealed to TopMob that Kaz has officially joined the cast and has now arrived in South Africa.
The makeup artist is back for the show following her arrest and detention in the UAE last February, where she faced accusations related to drug-related crimes.
According to a source, she expressed great joy at going back to the villa, explaining that she had faced some tough times a while back, and this seemed like a fantastic chance for her to enjoy herself once more.
Initially, Kaz made an entrance during the fourth season of Love Island, specifically as a surprise twist known as Casa Amor. Notably, Kaz caught Josh’s attention, making him divert his affection away from his previous partner, Georgia Steel.
Following the performance, they continued to date for a period of six months. However, their relationship came to an end in January 2019, with Kaz remarking then: “Sometimes life doesn’t unfold as expected, but it’s important to appreciate the journey.
In March of that year, she quickly developed a romantic relationship with former Love Island contestant Theo Campbell. However, by early 2020, he publicly announced that they had broken up before their first anniversary.
After appearing on Celebrity Ex On The Beach in 2022, their reunion was an uncomfortable one for the duo.
Scott Thomas
Scott is taking after Katy McDermott, who made a sensational comeback to the renowned villa in 2023.
In 2016, the pair first crossed paths, and they’ve been inseparable ever since, lasting over a year. Notably, Kady relocated to Manchester specifically to be with Scott, whose siblings, Ryan and Adam, are well-known soap opera actors; the former is recognized for his role on Coronation Street, while the latter was a star on Emmerdale.
Currently, Scott heads up his personal talent agency known as The Social PR, and he has kept his romantic relationships private since parting ways with Kady.
According to a source, Scott has significantly grown up since his initial appearance and aims to reveal a different aspect of himself to the world.
He believes promoting his podcast and business would be an excellent idea. Additionally, he finds the prospect exciting and hopes to discover genuine affection in the process.
Catherine Agbaje
After spending her summer in the villa in 2023, Catherine nearly made it to the inaugural All Stars series only a few months afterwards.
After discovering that they were among the final three contestants and facing elimination through public voting, Catherine departed from the villa hand-in-hand with her romantic companion, Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, ultimately deciding to part ways.
Initially, spectators assumed that the performer might be part of the upcoming program following a significant hint she posted on Instagram.
As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but notice that Catherine was seen following a makeup artist who just so happens to be part of our beloved show’s team. This little tidbit has sent ripples through the fan community on Reddit, igniting a buzz of speculation and excitement among us all!
It seems to me that Catherine might appear on All-Stars, as she’s been rather quiet lately and just followed a makeup artist from Love Island.
Elma Pazar
30-year-old Elma is looking forward to finding love again, having gained popularity after appearing on the fifth season of the widely popular ITV2 dating series back in 2019, and subsequently becoming a regular cast member on The Only Way Is Essex.
In the year 2019, Elma made her debut in the Love Island villa on the tenth day, simultaneously with Maura Higgins, and eventually attracted the attention of Anton Danyluk. As a result, they formed a pair and coupled up together.
Nevertheless, their tenure on the show proved brief since they were up against Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt during the public voting process.
The public decided to send Elma and Joe home on day 16.
Back in 2019, Elma originally entered the Love Island villa on day 10 alongside
Maura Higgins
.
As a lifestyle aficionado, I must share an intriguing development that’s caught my eye – or should I say, theirs? The duo you see on your screens, Elma and Diags, have been subtly yet undeniably engaging in flirtatious exchanges throughout the latest episodes of ITVBe. In fact, last year, TopMob unveiled an exclusive tidbit about these two causing quite a stir behind the scenes during the filming of the show.
According to a reliable source, Elma might join the All Stars series at some point. Given her extensive experience on TOWIE, she’s excellent for television, and her previous stint in the villa didn’t provide her with a fair opportunity to find love.
Nas Majeed
Nas is about to step into the villa, marking nearly a year since his split with girlfriend Eva Zapico, four years after their initial encounter within the same villa.
2020’s Winter Love Island was the stage where I found my heart’s delight, and though our journey towards an official relationship started gradually – not declaring ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend until half a year post-show – things have been nothing but uphill ever since. Whispers of engagement have even begun to swirl around us!
However, when they went separate paths in March 2024, Nas shared through an Instagram post that the separation was a ‘mutually agreeable and friendly choice’.
‘I regret to inform you that Eva and I have chosen to part ways in our relationship. It wasn’t the result of any disagreement or misconduct, but rather a joint and friendly decision we reached together.’
Over the past several months, Nas has disclosed that he and his partner were attempting to resolve their issues; however, they’ve ultimately chosen to formally end their relationship.
Ronnie Vint
A new participant, the footballer Ronnie, recently separated from Harriett Blackmore towards the end of last year amid allegations of infidelity, will join us.
Shortly after departing from the villa, it was reported that the pair had parted ways after a significant argument seemed to have occurred between them.
In a challenging period, Ronnie (aged 28) and Harriett (aged 24) experienced some rocky times while they were on the ITV2 program. They encountered several love situations that weren’t straightforward, yet eventually managed to reconnect with each other.
It seems their romantic tale has come to an end, according to The Sun, because they’ve chosen different paths due to their hectic schedules and lack of time to devote to their relationship.
According to the source, they attempted to continue their project beyond the villa, but due to being extremely occupied since returning home, they haven’t had sufficient time to devote to it.
Further information revealed by the publication stated that before their separation, the pair were overheard having a heated conversation on the phone. It was reported that Ronnie was supposedly upset with Harriet for being late to his latest event launch.
TopMob have contacted representatives of Ronnie and Harriett for comment at the time.
The separation occurred a few days following allegations of dishonesty, which surfaced shortly after they rekindled their relationship outside the villa.
According to reports, it seems Ronnie was dating multiple people following his departure from the Spanish villa.
