Who are the Love Island couples?

Maya Jama dropped the bombshell that the couples had already been chosen for the islanders by the public ahead of the show. Cheekily though, she had asked the girls to reveal who they fancied out of the boys before revealing who was really partnered with who.

Liberty and Jake

Exes Liberty and Jake first fell in love on the show in season seven. However, Liberty broke their relationship off just days before the final on the yacht date because she didn't like how Jake was treating her - winning her much praise from the audience at the time. While they were partnered together, Jake quit the show shortly after.

Georgia S and Toby

Toby and Georgia were both memorable personalities from their own respective series of Love Island. Despite not appearing on the same original Love Island series, they do have history together already. They enjoyed a brief romance and flirtation on the spin off Love Island Games in winter 2023 in the US. Will sparks fly again between the pair or will they go their separate ways?

Chris and Demi

Will Chris and Demi find love together in the South African villa? Demi said she thought they had been partnered together because they have similar personalities. They have crossed paths in the past because Chris once sent Demi a DM on Instagram to ask her out. Despite that initial attraction, they hadn't gone on a date yet.

Georgia H and Luis

Georgia H starred on series three of Love Island and following her life in the villa, she become a victim of revenge porn. Now she's moving on with her life and looking for love again. Meanwhile, Luis has had two relationships in the public eye with fellow Love Islander Cally Jane Beech and influencer Chloe Elizabeth. Will Georgia H and Luis find common ground and even fall in love?

Kaz and Mitch

Will there be fireworks for Mitch and Kaz on Love Island? Mitch cheekily quipped "I don't hate the girl" after Maya Jama asked him about how he felt about being partnered with Kaz. He was playfully mocking Jake who had declared he didn't hate Liberty when Jama asked him about being paired with his ex.

Hannah and Anton

Hannah declared she was the oldest woman in the Love Island villa at 33 and Chris reassured her that he too was the same age. The star said she is looking for a man who she can introduce to her four-year-old son Reggie. Now the public have hopes she could fall in love with Anton.

Why is there no Casa Amor?

Casa Amor has always played a big part in Love Island. The format sees the islanders split into two different villas. The girls then meet new boys and the boys meet new girls in a bid to stir up the relationships. Over the next few days, the islanders then get to know the new stars and decide whether they would like to form new attachments with them or stick with their partner in the other villa. This shakeup always brings huge amounts of drama and sometimes heartache to the show.

However, Casa Amor has been axed for the All Stars version. The executive producer of the show explained why Casa Amor doesn't work for this new series. Executive producer, Mike Spencer, told The Sun: "We aren’t doing Casa Amor this time, but there may be another big twist at the halfway mark."

He added: "I think we have got to be reactive. Casa Amor, as we know and love it, doesn’t really work for a five-week run because you need time to bed in, get to know each other, see if they are for you and if you want to switch it up. Not having Casa gives us a way to shake it up and bring in new islanders in different ways." However, Casa Amor will return for the summer series.

Where is Love Island: All Stars filmed?

Take a sneaky look inside the newly-renovated £1.2million Love Island villa in Franschhoek, South Africa, which boasts three swimming pools for the islanders to cool off from the red-hot temperatures.

The villa, which was also used for Winter Love Island 2023, has been decorated with the iconic pink neon signs, this time reading: "it's giving love" and "love". As well as the swimming pools outside, there are plenty of daybeds for the love islanders to kick back and relax while getting to know each other in the glorious sunshine.

Away from the main villa, of course there is the infamous Hideaway where the lovebirds can finally get some privacy from the other islanders. The couples have to be chosen by their fellow islanders to be able to enjoy some romance in the Hideaway. It has been decorated with statement green tiles and a bright pink bed.

The girls spend a lot of time getting ready for hanging around the pool or the date nights so it's no surprise the dressing room has the wow factor. The walk-in wardrobe is impressive with lots of pre-loved clothes to choose from and plenty of different heels or sandals. Promoting sustainable fashion, there is a 'we love pre-loved' neon sign above the clothes.

Who hosts Love Island: All Stars?

Maya Jama took over from Laura Whitmore as the latest host of Love Island in 2023 and has proved a huge hit with viewers. She is also the host of All Stars and another spin-off series, Love Island Games.
