When will Love Island: All Stars start?

Love Island: All Stars has been announced as starting in the 'New Year' in 2024, airing on ITV2 and ITVX. While an exact scheduling date is yet to be confirmed, it could well begin as early as the second week of January in the slot previously taken by Winter Love Island.

Who will take part?

Love Island contestants from the past 10 series will be in the running to return to the villa and compete to become the winning couple.

The contestant line-up has not been confirmed, so any one of your favourite Islanders would be taking part.

With the exception perhaps of Love Island couples who are still together and therefore not single and ready to mingle.

Where will it be filmed?

Love Island: All Stars has been announced as taking place at the "stunning and luxurious South African villa" used for Winter Love Island. The last series was located at Franschhoek, a small old town in the green and rolling Western Cape province of South Africa.

The first Winter Love Island villa was located in Cape Town.

Who will host Love Island: All Stars?

Maya Jama took over from Laura Whitmore as the latest host of the show this year and has proved a huge hit with viewers. She is also the host of upcoming spin-off Love Island Games.

However, it is yet to be confirmed if she will be presenting the All Stars spin-off, or if the series will have a new host.
