The news arrives after months of speculation. In July 2023, it was reported that Love Island was planning to shake up its winter season with a potential all-star line-up.
Ahead of season 10, Mike Spencer told RadioTimes.com and other press that he would “love to do an all-star” series, as he hinted at the celebs he’d like to see return.
“Hopefully, you know, we’re in talks to do different things. So hopefully we can do an all-star soon. Fingers crossed, but there’s so many iconic islanders that I’d love to see. Obviously, some are in relationships now,” he said.
Asked if we could expect to see season 5’s Maura Higgins, he revealed: “I had breakfast with her the other day. She’s so funny. She’s amazing, so I’d love to see her on it.”
Love Island will return to ITV2 and ITVX in 2024. Seasons 1-10 are available to watch on ITVX. You can watch all previous seasons of Love Island on BritBox – you can sign up for a 7-day free trial.
