What time is Love Island: All Stars on? New bombshell confirmed

Love Island: All Stars has returned for its second series in South Africa, with new episodes airing daily this week (January 13-19) at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

The show brings together contestants from all previous seasons, giving them a chance to find their match — or risk being dumped once again.

The first episode aired on Monday night, with Season 8’s Ekin-Su Culculoglu, 30, arriving as a bombshell contestant among those already returned to find love. In Tuesday night’s episode, she picks three islanders to date as the rest of the girls are left watching on.

All seasoned viewers know that many more past contestants will be added to the cast line-up as the weeks progress. ITV has revealed that the next bombshell contestant to enter the villa on Tuesday is Season 9’s Casey O’Gorman.

The 28-year-old also appeared in the first season of Love Island: All Stars and has admitted to being too looks-focused.

“Now I want to just be open and care more about personality rather than looks this time,” he said before Tuesday’s episode.

Among the first returnees to the island were exes Marcel and Gabby from the third season and ‘Lucas the fish Bish’ from the eighth series.

Named on the Standard 100 list of top people shaping the capital in 2024, Jama said before the series that she was looking forward to seeing which couples get together.

She added: “In my mind, I’m thinking they all know each other or will recognise one another from previous series, so it’ll be interesting to see who sparks up a romance.”

Comedian Iain Stirling will once again narrate the episodes.

Will there be a spin-off show?

Unlike the regular Love Island series, All Stars doesn’t have the usual afterparty show, Aftersun.

Instead, Jama will interview the cast members as they are eliminated from the villa.

However, the official podcast, Love Island: The Morning After, covered the first season of All Stars last year. Hosted by Indiyah Polack, Amy Hart, and Chris Taylor, it featured interviews with eliminated Islanders and behind-the-scenes insights from the show.
