Okay, now following a delayed premiere due to wildfires in South Africa, we seemed to be off to a rough start. But we move. Let’s take a look at the OGs and the bombshells before we lose TWO islanders in a double-dumping.
I will say that “All Star” is a truly loose term this season…
AJ Bunker — @andreajanebunker
Season: 7 (2021)
Age: 33
The OG bombshell who lasted only 6 days last time, AJ is back to show her real self — fun, bold and ready to actually date instead of just landing drama. She’s said she wants to stop being in her shell and speak up for herself this go-round.

Samie Elishi — @samieelishi
Season: 9 (2023) + All Stars 2 (2025)
Age: ~25
Almost a Love Island veteran now! Samie bombshells in with history, confidence and that unpredictable energy. Personally, shes one of my least faves of this cast, but here we are. She’s had a few ups and downs since her first run and is back to show growth and maybe finally land a real connection. Or shes just there to make Tom jealous?

Konnor Ewudzi — @konnorewudzi
Season: 11 (2024)
Age: ~30
The smooth talker from Season 11 who knows what he wants — and he isn’t scared to chase it. Having flirted his way through his original season, this time he’s here for clarity (and connection). It’s okay if you don’t remember him because most people didn’t.

Scott van-der-Sluis — @scottvandersluis
Season: 10 (2023) + LI USA + LI Games
Age: ~25
Love him or utterly chaotic him, Scott is a veritable Love Island institution at this point — four shows deep! He exploded into All Stars as literally a bombshell, clashing with people and stirring things up instantly. Expect sass, swagger, and zero chill. He told that little weiner Sean off right away, we stan. I, for one, am thrilled to have Scottiesha back, and he looks GOOOOOD.

Whitney Adebayo — @whitneyadebayo
Season: 10 (2023)
Age: 28
Former runner-up and undeniable fan favourite, Whitney brings confidence, presence, and fiery charm. She’s navigated post-villa life with poise — including a long-term split — and returns balancing savvy and sweetness with a side of “don’t mess with me.”
And producers, DO NOT BRING MEHDI BACK.

Millie Court — @milliegracecourt
Season: 7 (2021)
Age: ~29
One of the show’s most memorable winners, Millie won her original season and lasted years with Liam before last year’s heartbreaking split. This time she’s back as an All Star with humour, sparkle and maybe even sassier cheekiness than before.

Belle Hassan — @bellehassan
Season: 5 (2019)
Age: ~27
Belle’s original season was iconic thanks to her snappy wit and no-nonsense energy. After years off screen (over six!), fans are buzzing to see if her old school villa personality still slays — and maybe if she’s ready to meet someone serious. Shes back with a new hair colour, and shes eating this look UP.

Helena Ford — @helenaforddd
Season: 12 (2025)
Age: ~29
One of the newer faces to join the All Stars club, Helena is charismatic and quick with banter. She’s said she wants to go for nice guys this time after last season’s house tensions — and she’s definitely one to watch for big villa moments.

Jess Harding — @jesshardingox
Season: 10 (2023)
Age: 25
Winner of her original season with Sammy Root, Jess is vibrant and sweetly competitive. Post-villa, she’s had her confidence skyrocket — and on All Stars, she says she’s not here to be anyone’s wallflower. I am starting to fear that she may not be as much of a girls’ girl as she once was.

Leanne Amaning — @leanneamaning
Season: 6 (2020)
Age: ~28
Leanne’s original villa journey was short and sharp — and she’s using that experience to her advantage now, calling herself much more level-headed and focused. This time, she’s aiming for clarity and stability. Face card? NEVER DECLINES.

Shaq Muhammad — @shaq24s_
Season: 9 (2023)
Age: 27
Shaq is back for All Stars with honesty and emotional intelligence in tow. Last time around Shaq left the villa with Tanya, and the two were together for a few years before splitting. Known for his heartfelt moments and villa charm, he’s already been part of multiple recouplings this season, stirring chemistry with AJ Bunker, Helena Ford, and sparking fan speculation with Belle Hassan.

Ciaran Davies — @ciarandaviesss
Season: 11 (2024)
Age: ~23
Kind-hearted and honest, Ciaran was a standout romantic from Series 11. He hasn’t given up on love — and he’s coming back hoping to find something real this time. I’m excited to hear whether or not he and his connection in this series will argue they should be the winners, like he and Nicole did.

Jack Keating — @jackkeating11
Season: 8 (2022)
Age: ~26
Probably the villa’s most famous surname (yes, that Ronan Keating’s son), Jack returns with confidence and charm — ready to have fun and flirt without the pressure. Says he’s open to meeting someone stunning and letting sparks fly. Jack has revealed that he is a father as well.*
He looks like he would be a tough teen on Coronation Street.

Sean Stone — @seanstone__
Season: 11 (2024)
Age: ~26
Sean’s original journey was him constantly talking about sweets and naming islanders after sweets. This time around, it’s the same old bs.

Tommy Bradley — @tommybradley
Season: 12 (2025)
Age: ~22
The youthful heartthrob, who always looks like he’s in a Stephen Be*r look-a-like contest, returns ready to do villa love differently. Tommy admits he fell too fast before — this time, he says he’s staying open-minded and seeing where real connections lead.

Charlie Frederick — @charliefrederick_
Season: 4 (2018)
Age: ~30
One of the OGs this season, Charlie has a shorter past stint but big personality. Known for flirting and dramatic presence, he’s back hunting connections with flair and maybe stirring up the odd love triangle. I already want him off my screen. The man got a glow-up and won’t shut his mouth.
