Here’s all the Love Island stars who are rumoured to be returning to the villa this winter.
Love Island is back this January for a special All Star series.
ITV recently confirmed the release month for Love Island All Stars as January 2024, which means it won’t be long before we see some of our favourite islanders returning to the villa for a second chance at finding love.
Maya Jama, who took over from Laura Whitmore as host last year, will be back to welcome this year’s line-up in the South African villa.
As usual, we can expect lots of fun challenges, coupling up and a fair bit of mugging off, before the first ever winners of Love Island All Stars are revealed.
While ITV are yet to confirm which stars will be returning, rumours have been swirling, with the likes of Ovie Soko, Michael Griffiths and more said to be making a comeback.
The show’s executive producer Mike Spencer even said that he’d love to see fan-favourite Maura Higgins back on Love Island.
We’ll update you right here as soon as we know for sure which islanders will return for the all-stars series.
In the meantime, read on for everything we know so far about who’s speculated to be joining the line-up.

Theo is said to be returning to the villa for what would be his second stint on the ITV2 dating show. Theo rose to fame on season 3 of Love Island UK back in 2017, and quickly became a fan-favourite for his saying it how it is.
During an episode, which saw Jonny Mitchell dumped from the villa, he hilariously advised Tyla Carr that she could also leave with him instead of crying … awks.
Theo’s cheeky one-liners will be welcomed by fans.
Georgia Steel

She’s loyal to Love Island, and Georgia Steel is said to be proving just that with the 25-year-old believed to be returning to the villa for a third time.
Georgia originally took part in season 4 back in 2018. She was later dumped from the villa, following relations with Josh Denzel and Sam Bird. In November 2023, she took part in the first season of Love Island Games.
They do say that three is a magic number!
