Fans are on the edge of their seats as Love Island returns to our screens for a second series of All Stars with Islanders heading back to the villa for a second chance at love.
Among the line-up are faves Scott Thomas, Elma Pazar and exes Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville – and it looks set to be another explosive series.
Of course, with love being at the centre of the show, we can expect the Islanders to get hot and steamy under the covers to warm us up during cold and dreary January.
And last year’s runner-up Callum Jones tells Closer that a lot of the Islanders have already hooked up on the outside world, and it’s bound to happen inside the villa, too.
‘With young adults sharing beds, it’s always going to happen. It’s the topic of the show so it’s to be expected,’ he explained. ‘I think both seasons I’ve been on have been quite tame compared to the others, but All Stars will be just as bad as the original show.’
Callum entered the villa in a shocking twist on Day 1 at the start of last series alongside his ex Molly Smith, coupling up with her in a bid to win her back. When his attempt proved unsuccessful, he coupled up with Georgia Steel before he and fellow Islander Toby Aromolaran swapped partners and he coupled up with Arabella Chi.
But, heading into the final, he and Jess Gale coupled up, finishing in second place. They split just seven weeks after the final, and Callum is now happily loved up with model Myna Amor.
Callum explains how the dynamics of the villa differ in All Stars because the Islanders already know each other… sometimes very well!
‘People in there will know each other so will walk in and think it’s amazing. There were definitely conversations that were cut where people were talking about what they’ve been getting up to in the outside world.
‘It’s a bit incestuous because we’ve all come from the same show and people have slept together so people talk about who’s slept with who. It will be interesting to see people who’ve had history with each other.’
Callum also spilled on how the All Stars series gets more boozy than the original show – but not with the blessing of the producers!
‘Anton [Danyluk] managed to steal a bottle of tequila and got absolutely bladdered, they had to cut him out of scenes because he was so drunk!’
