Get the breakdown of the Love Island All Stars 2025 cast so far...
Curtis Pritchard, 28,Instagram: @curtispritchard12
Asked why he wants to return to Love Island, Pritchard - who starred in season - said: "I feel like I'm in a different stage in my life. The idea of settling down is a serious idea in my life right now. I haven't found my true love… that sounds so cheesy, doesn't it? So, I thought, let's give it another go."
Kaz Crossley, 29, Instagram: @kazcrossley
Series 4's Kaz Crossley left the show with Josh Denzel. The pair split up after six months and she went on to date other Love Islander Theo Campbell.
Asked about how she feels about bumping into Love Island alumni, she said: "I'm really excited, but I love surprises so I hope I'm surprised in there! It'll be nice to mingle with people from different series, especially as series 4 was so long ago now. If I see some faces I recognise, I'll be really happy."
Gabby Allen, 32, Instagram: @gabbydawnallen
Gabby Allen appeared on series 3 of Love Island, where she left the show in a relationship with Marcelle Somerville.
Asked what she's learned about herself since first being on the show, she said: "I was 25 when I did the show last time. I'm so glad that I did go on at that age because I'd done so much before that – I'd travelled, lost my dad, had turbulent relationships, all before going in. I'd also been on a journey to become a fitness instructor, so I felt really confident going in at 25. But now I look back, I feel like I am now, who I thought I was then. I'm confident in who I am as a person and hopefully, that will help me meet someone, because I know what I want and I don't want to settle."
Nas Majeed, 28, Instagram: @nas_jm
Nas, who featured in season 6 of Love Island, originally coupled up with Demi Jones on the show, but dumped her in favour of bombshell Eva Zapcio. The pair eventually announced their shock split after a four year romance.
Asked why he wants to return to the show, he said: "It was so much fun the first time around, waking up every day with a smile on my face – it feels like a full circle moment. It was quite successful for me the first time around, I was with Eva for four years. So I'm hoping that Love Island can come through again and make it everlasting."
Catherine Agbaje, 24, Instagram: @catherine_agbaje
Series 10 Nigerian-Irish beauty Catherine was known for her controversial fall out with Scott van-der-Sluis on the show after she famously came back from Casa Amor Elom Ahlijah-Wilson. Catherine and Elon left the show together but split soon after.
Asked why she's returning to the show, she said: "I want to find love again. I want to give it another shot because it works!"
Olivia Hawkins, 29, Instagram: @livhawkinss
Controversial contestant 'Liv starred in series 9 of the reality dating show, where she had quite a few fallouts.
Quizzed if she wants to dispel any misconceptions, she replied: "People misinterpret my honesty and how real I am. I think I am just very honest and upfront – and people take it the wrong way. Maybe sometimes I do need to keep my opinions to myself, but I'm unapologetically myself. You can never please everyone and I'm okay with being a Marmite character."
Ronnie Vint, 28, Instagram: @ronnievint
Ronnie Vint may have only just appeared on season 11 of Love Island, but he made quite an impression. He left the show dating Harriet Blackmore on the show, but they split weeks after leaving the villa.
Asked if he'll do anything differently this year, he joked: "Hopefully less triangles…"
Scott Thomas, 36, Instagram: @scott.thomas
Scott, who was coupled up with Kady McDermott in Love Island series 2, returns after a whopping 10 years.
Asked why he's returned to Love Island, he said: "I've been on a massive journey over the last five years. I've been working on sobriety, personal growth, self development. When I first went into the Villa, I was still a bit of a boy… I feel like I finally know who I am. It might sound cheesy, but I'm ready to settle down and I've never been open to saying those words. Where better than Love Island?"
Elma Pazar, 32, Instagram: @elmapazar
"I want to have fun and I want to give it a proper go this time," Elma from series 5 says. My time was cut short the first time round and who knows, I could be the next Sophie (Piper) and Josh (Ritchie) or Molly (Smith) and Tom (Clare)."
India Reynolds, 34, Instagram: @lovefromreyn
India met Ovie Soko on Love Island season 5 and the pair split shortly after leaving the villa. Asked why she's returning to the show, she said: "I've been single for two and a half years and I think it's time to settle down. I don't put any effort into dating and I don't really like meeting people from apps so I'm looking forward to getting to know people in the Villa."
Luca Bish, 25, Instagram: @lucabish
Luca Bish was a big character in season 8 of the show, leaving the series with Michael Owen's daughter Gemma. However the pair eventually split three months later and went on to find love elsewhere.
Asked what he'd learned about himself since the dating show, Luca said: "It taught me so much about myself, especially as I can go back and watch it. It's good to reflect. I think that it's not the mistakes that define us, it's the lessons and what we learn from them that makes us."
Marcel Somerville, 39, Instagram: @marcel_rockyb
Marcel met Gabby on series 3 of the show in 2017, but they split amid reports of cheating. Marcel has since been married to Rebecca Vieira and they welcomed a baby boy together. However, the pair are currently separated and in the process of a divorce after cheating allegations on her part.
Quizzed why he's returning to Love Island, Marcel said: "I thought that I'd completed love and found my happily ever after – but the universe had a different plan. Somehow every time my life's at a crossroads, I've got the opportunity to do Love Island. So I thought, why not?"
Who's hosting Love Island All Stars 2025?
As expected, the Maya Jama is returning as the Love Island host with the most to take care of the winter instalment of the dating show. She'll no doubt be delivering sizzling outfits, surprise entrances and that slow mo walk.
