What, in the name of Maya Jama's flawless outfits, is going on in the latest Love Island spin-off series?

Love Island: All Stars returned to our screens this week, 15 January 2024 to be exact, and made Blue Monday not quite as doom and gloom as it could have been.

From Chris Taylor complimenting Georgia Harrison's posture and comparing himself to a crisp, "I sit like a quaver," to exes Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish being coupled up by the public - ya'll are predictable but evil- it was one hell of a first episode.

But it was the last ten minutes that truly had us shooketh. We knew a bombshell was going to be thrown into the mix early on but to see an only recently single Callum Jones saunter in all white teeth and northern charm threw us for six.

But that was nothing compared to the excitement of seeing his ex and fellow Love Island 2020 star, Molly Smith stroll in two minutes later looking like a Bond girl in a stunning gold number with her blonde locks all blow-dried to perfection.

And that was nothing, NOTHING WE TELL YOU, compared to the look on Callum's face when he turned around to see his ex bae of three years join him as a fellow bombshell.

Oh ITV, in the words of Shaughna Phillips...

"Congrats, hun."
