After months of painful speculation, ITV confirmed the cast (well, the original contestants who will enter on day one) of the second All Stars season on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, just days before the launch and the OOFT (Out of the Free) event.
Gabby Allen
Gabby Allen, a Love Island: All Stars 2026 favorite, entered the villa on day one and won the series with Casey O’Gorman. While the couple performed well in real life, they confirmed their split in May 2025. Gabby is currently making waves as an influencer, generating a wealth of fitness content. Since leaving the South African villa, she has appeared on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, the second season of Love Island Games, and Celebs Go Dating 2026.
Kaz Crossley
Kaz entered as an original contestant on day one and struggled to connect, despite a few brief sparks with Luca Bish and Ronnie Vint. He eventually teamed up with Montel McKenzie, but the pair had to leave the house due to a particularly brutal breakup on Day 38.
Curtis Pritchard
Love him or hate him, Curtis was bringing energy to the main character of All Stars 2. Almost immediately, he teamed up with Ekin-Su and, despite a minor stumble with Danielle Sellers and plenty of arguments with Elma Pazar and Sammy Root, he made it to the final with Ekin-Su.
The pair split at the end of May 2025, and he returned with a bang for All Stars 2026.
Nas Majeed
What a scream we let out when we learned Nas would be participating in All Stars 2025! Sadly, he didn’t have much luck with sparks in the villa. The public linked him to Catherine Agbaje quite early on, but Catherine grew tired of Nas telling her and the public that he was “a bit of a flirt.” Eventually, that spark died, and he was dumped on the 16th, after just over two weeks in the villa.
A year later, Nas is killing it as a presenter and host.
Scott Thomas
Scott was another of the “oldies” who struggled to find a spark with the opposite sex in the villa. He befriended India Reynolds and then bonded with Tina Stinnes. We could really imagine them working together, but on the 21st, he sat her down, told her he didn’t want to string her along, and left the villa of his own accord.
He’s now dating a new mystery girl and continues to co-host the podcast “At Home With The Thomas Bro’s” with his two famous brothers.
Olivia Hawkins
We were all robbed when OG Olivia Hawkins was one of the first to be voted off the All Stars village. After maintaining a lingering spark with her friend from town, Luca Bish, Olivia befriended Gabby’s ex, Marcel Somerville. Sadly, the pair were voted off on Day 10 and only lasted a few weeks in real life.
That said, Liv returned just before the finale to accuse Grace Jackson of being willing to “do anything” to win and even claimed to have receipts when she revealed there were alleged screenshots.
Liv appeared on Celebs Go Dating 2025 and became best friends with Kerry Katona. She was rumored to be appearing on All Stars 2026, but… nope. Why isn’t there a tumbleweed emoji, please? Too busy returning to her acting roots, we guess.

Catherine Agbaje
After struggling to find a partner with Nas and developing a friendship, Catherine went on a romantic lunch date with Omar Nyame. The spark was immediate, just what our girl needed. The couple made it to the final and dated for a few months before, sadly, calling it quits. A year later, Catherine is still one of our favorite girls on social media, and we can’t get enough of her.
Ronnie Vint
Let’s be honest, as soon as we heard that Ronnie “Turbo” was returning for a second chance on Love Island, we knew her ex, Harriett Blackmore, was waiting for her backstage. And she was right. After meeting Elma (phew! Remember that drama?) and, very briefly, Kaz, Ronnie turned her attention to her ex. They worked through their issues, and Ronnie visibly began to change her behavior. They made it to the final, but were separated for the second (or third or fourth time—we can’t keep up!) time in June 2025.
Marcel Somerville
Marcel introduced himself as one of the original cast members on day one and came face-to-face with his ex, Gabby, after cheating on her during a vacation years earlier. What a shock! It turned out to be a very therapeutic reunion, in which the couple made peace and even became friends. In matters of the heart, Marcel had his sights set on Liv, and although they shared a few kisses and things were starting to look promising, unfortunately, the couple became the first to be dumped.
Marcel Somerville
Marcel was there from the start and ran into his ex, Gabby, on day one. He had cheated on her years earlier during a holiday. Oops! It turned into a very heartwarming reunion, during which they reconciled and even became friends. Marcel had his eye on Liv, and although they kissed a couple of times and things looked promising, the couple was, unfortunately, the first to be eliminated.
Elma Pazar
The queen of television brought plenty of drama to the Love Island villa. After a disastrous few days with Ronnie Vint, which even led to a brief argument with her best friend Kaz, she was finally reunited with her TOWIE crush, Sammy Root. They hit it off immediately and soon joined forces against Ekin-Su and Curtis when Ekin-Su “accidentally” kissed Sammy during the heart rate challenge. What a drama!
Elma Pazar is back on TOWIE, and the details of her split with Sammy were, of course, revealed on the show. Elma Pazar
India Reynolds
Sorry, but if India Reynolds couldn’t find love in the villa, how are we mere mortals supposed to? After days of trouble with Scott, she had to leave the villa after just one week.
Luca Bish
Luca arrived at the villa as a veteran and quickly decided that none of the women were right for him. Honestly, it was heartbreaking. Then Grace came along and everything changed. The chemistry between them was electrifying, and we all wished we were Grace. The couple made it to the final, finished in second place, and are now officially together. Trust the process, Luca. Trust the process.

Who were the surprise contestants on All Stars 2025?
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
Ekin-Su was the first surprise contestant to enter the villa on the first night, and her slow walk caused a stir across the country. She deepened her relationship with Curtis for most of the season, but of course, she also brought plenty of drama to the show: her arguments with Elma will go down in Love Island history.
She and Curtis broke up in May 2025, and Ekin-Su remains one of the most popular Love Island contestants.

Casey O’Gorman
When the mischievous Casey returned to Love Island for the third time in a row, we all screamed like Olivia Hawkins: “Not again?” This time, however, he won with Gabby Allen. Unfortunately, they broke up in May 2025 after a few months of dating. The two islanders reunited later that year during the second Love Island Games.
Tina Stinnes
Tina entered the villa on day five and immediately began exploring her options. She eventually connected with Scott. Unfortunately, he wasn’t interested and left the villa. She briefly tried to connect with Chuggs, but, to be honest, it didn’t work out.
Ron Hall
Ron entered the villa on day eight and left voluntarily on day 19. That was it.
Grace Jackson
Grace entered the villa on day eight and immediately chose Luca. They hit it off quickly, made it to the final, and are now officially a couple. And she insists she never said she would do “anything to win the show.”
Grace Jackson
Harriett Blackmore
Harriett appeared on Day 11 and emphasized that she hadn’t returned for Ronnie. After barely hinting at a connection with Ron for half a second, she rekindled their romance. They broke up for the second time in June 2025.

Montel McKenzie
Montel burst onto the scene on Day 11 and caught Kaz’s eye. Unfortunately, they were both eliminated on Day 15 in a brutal mass eviction. Shortly after, they broke up.
He is now dating soccer player Alisha Lehmann.

Sammy Root
Sammy moved into the villa on Day 15 and only had his eyes on his TOWIE co-star, Elma Pazar. Together they reached the final, but broke up in June 2025. The details of the breakup were discussed on TOWIE’s show, and later that year, he confirmed his departure from the show.

Sammy moved into the villa on the 15th and had his sights set on his TOWIE co-star, Elma Pazar. They made it to the final together, but broke up in June 2025. Details of the breakup were shown on TOWIE, and later that year, he confirmed his departure from the show.Sammy Root
Danielle Sellers
Danielle moved into the villa with Sammy on the 15th and had her eye on Curtis. Curtis briefly reciprocated her advances, which led to a heated argument with Ekin-Su. Eventually, Curtis reconciled with Ekin-Su, and Danielle had to leave. Although she briefly dated Chuggs, the key word here is “briefly.”
Danielle Sellers
Omar Nyame
Omar moved into the villa on the 19th and won Catherine’s heart immediately. The couple lived like in a fairy tale for two or three weeks. They made it to the final and stayed together for a few weeks after the show before sadly splitting up
Omar Nyame
Chuggs Wallis
Chuggs entered the villa on the 22nd and struggled to build stable relationships with the other women. After a week in the villa, he had to leave on the 29th. He then appeared in the series “Made in Chelsea,” a career change we all hoped for.
Chugs Wallis
Samie Elishi
Sorry, but Samie deserved better. After weeks of speculation, Samie entered the villa on the 22nd. She confessed that she found Luca attractive, and the two kissed during a challenge, much to Grace’s dismay. Luca made it clear that he was only interested in Grace, which made it difficult for Samie to find a new relationship. She had to leave the villa before the final. She later launched her own fragrance and participated again in “Love Island All Stars” in 2026.

What happened on “Love Island All Stars 2024”?
Just when we thought “Love Island” couldn’t get any better, ITV gave us the first season of “Love Island All Stars” in January 2024. There were countless highlights, but it’s perhaps best remembered for its incredibly awkward moments. After all, there was the cringe-worthy reunion between Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish, who turned out to be some of the original “Originals” (OGs), followed by Molly Smith and Callum Jones, who left the show as the first surprise departures just months after ending their three-year relationship.
All Stars 2024 winners: Molly Smith and Tom Clare
All Stars introduced us to islanders who didn’t get enough attention when they first entered the villa, like Arabella Chi and Sophie Piper, while also confirming our opinions about others, like Messy Mitch Taylor. Some people never change.
The success of the first season led us to wonder if there would be a second, and during Love Island 2024, Maya Jama announced she would be returning for a second season of All Stars, along with a host of familiar faces.
