If there's one thing the Love Island stars have in common it's that they're all very hot.

Each series of Love Island introduces us to a whole host of impossibly tanned, toned (don't even get us started on Maya Jama and those iconic slow-mo entrances), twenty-something singles to make us become obsessed with for one long hot summer. But it's not like there are not already literally hundreds of former Islanders already out in the world leaving their legacies of hotness.

From Max Morley and Alex Bowen to Montana Brown and Ovie Soko we've seen our fair share of fit reality stars in the villa.

We also can't help but remember the Islanders who grew on us over time; remember when Greg O'Shea had only just entered the villa but still questioned why Jordan Hames tried it on with India Reynolds? Or when Jack Fowler left the nation swooning following his adorable parenting skills with baby Aubrey?

So we thought we'd take a look back at the 36 hottest Islanders EVER (so far).

A definitive list of the hottest EVER Love Island stars

Scott Thomas

We have a sneaking suspicion Scott Thomas will be hella popular among the All Stars when he returns to the villa and who can blame them? Tall? Tick. Dark hair? Tick? Mature vibes? Tick. Actually, can WE take part in All Stars as a regular contestant? Please?

Catherine Agbaje

Who else is delighted that Catherine Agbaje and her Irish charm will be taking part in All Stars? The 2023Islander and never failing face card is an OG for this years spin-off series and we cannot wait to have her back on our screens.

Joey Essex

Oh, come on, it's Joey Essex from TOWIE ON LOVE ISLAND FFS. We couldn't not add him to this list. To be fair, his rippling abs, his cheeky rizz, and his hit single 'Reem' also helped secure him a
spot. Even the Burger King outfit did things to us, tbh. Don't tell him that, though, yeah? It'll go right to his head and he'll unexpectedly leave us for another showbiz mag a la Grace Jackson/Jessy Potts.

Mimii Ngulube

Portsmouth girly Mimii Ngulube from Love Island 2024 has a face card that NEVER FAILS. Even when she's the last one let standing at the fire pit. Good job Omar Nyame came in and took her on that flirty li'l date.

Sam Taylor

Sam Taylor might have only been on our screens for a day or two, but that didn't stop the viewing public from falling for the mullet haired barber. In fact, there was such an uproar when Sam was booted out countless fans have demand he return for Casa Amor.

Ayo Odukoya6 of 38

Ayo Odukoya

We think we'd probably melt there and then if Ayo Odukoya turned to us with that smile. You'd never guess he was a model would you? 👀

Callum Jones7 of 38

Callum Jones

We're starting off strong here. Oh, Callum. Those dimples. Those curls. If it was possible for someone to win a series all by themselves we'd be voting for Callum Jones.

Molly Smith8 of 38

Molly Smith

It makes sense that only a goddess could capture the heart of someone like Callum - enter Molly Smith. This blonde bombshell captured his heart (and ours) in Love Island 2020's Casa Amor before being reunited years later on All Stars. How someone could let a woman like Molly go; we have no answers.

Ella Thomas9 of 38

Ella Thomas

We can see why Tyrique Hyde finally left 'the game' behind for Ella Thomas (well, for a time); she's absolutely stunning. The Edinburgh-based model also caught the eye of fellow Scottish fittie Ouzy See in Casa Amor.

Zachariah Hyde10 of 38

Zachariah Hyde

There's a reason why basically all of the villa girls admitted to fancying Zachariah Noble. Just LOOK at him. Oh, and that basketball player height definitely works in his favour, too. You can slam dunk us any time, Zach.

Spencer Wilks11 of 38

Spencer Wilks

Spencer Wilks rocked up as a bombshell and with those bright blue eyes and the pearly white smile the girls were swooning. Not only that, he is the CEO of a vibrator company - no wonder the girls were buzzing.

Tanyel Revan12 of 38

Tanyel Revan

Tanyel Revan is a Turkish beauty who has the confidence and style to honestly pick whoever she wanted. She didn't last long in the villa but she's now engaged so, swings and roundabouts.

Jacques O'Neill13 of 38

Jacques O'Neill

A reincarnated Max Morley for Love Island 2022, we had a little soft spot for Gemma Owen's ex-boyfriend Jacques; could be the smile and baby blues, could be that he's a professional rugby player.

Davide Sanclimenti love island 14 of 38

Davide Sanclimenti

Davide Sanclimenti entered Love Island 2022 as possibly the hottest bombshell ever to set foot into the villa. He announced himself as an 'Italian snack' and the whole villa fell at his feet. Honestly, there must be something wrong with this man because he looks like he was carved by ANGELS.

Mike Boateng15 of 38

Mike Boateng

Police officer Mike Boateng insisted, "It should be illegal to be as sexy as me," and after watching him in the villa for just a few days, we were inclined to agree.

Rebecca Gormley16 of 38

Rebecca Gormley

Rebecca Gormley turned pretty much all of the boys' heads when she entered the villa in week two, setting two of the boys' heart rates through the roof during the sexy dance challenge and going on dates in the hideaway with Connor Durham and Callum, and she made no secret of the fact she was there to step on the girls' toes and steal their menfolk.

Sophie Piper17 of 38

Sophie Piper

Rochelle Humes' little sister Sophie Piper had the boys fighting over her as soon as she stepped foot in the villa, which made a nice change from the usual turn of events. Both big Connagh and little Connor (OG Connor) wanted to couple up with her, but she eventually chose OG Connor (for some unknown reason, see below).

Connaugh Howard18 of 38

Connaugh Howard

Big Connaugh (with a G) was the first bit of absolute PHWOAR in the 2020 winter series, and despite getting pied off by Sophie he wasn't short of admirers, with Siannise Fudge, Jess Gale and Rebecca all fighting over him.

Ovie Soko19 of 38

Ovie Soko

Let's not pretend that Ovie is not the fittest person we've ever seen on TV. Not only is he dreamy, but remember when he took India Reynolds away from all of that drama with Jordan Hames and Anna Vakili? Love him.

India Reynolds20 of 38

India Reynolds

India wowed the nation when she arrived in the villa and for good reason too; the model is absolutely gorgeous and came third, alongside Ovie.

Michael Griffiths21 of 38

Michael Griffiths

He treated Amber Gill and Joanna Chimonides like trash in the villa, but there's no denying it - Michael is fit. And him starring in Dreamboys is proof...

Maura Higgins22 of 38

Maura Higgins

Maura Higgins is one of the best contestants that's ever gone on Love Island; from trying to seduce Tommy Fury to putting Tom Walker in his place, we were obsessed from the get-go. We almost forgot to mention that she's absolutely stunning; no wonder she was a model and Grid Girl before her stint in the villa.

Leanne Amaning23 of 38

Leanne Amaning

Great things come in small packages, and Leanne Amaning is the petit beauty we were rooting for from Day ONE.

Jack Fowler24 of 38

Jack Fowler

Jack Fowler is practically perfect in every physical way. He melted hearts around the nation when he proved to be the hottest dad ever during the baby challenge.

Megan Barton Hanson25 of 38

Megan Barton Hanson

Most guys in the villa were obsessed with Megan Barton Hanson, and so were we. The reason she managed to split up Wes Nelson and Laura Anderson within just 24 hours is because she's sizzling hot.

Josh Denzel26 of 38

Josh Denzel

Josh Denzel is Mr Smooth with his laidback attitude and sharp style. Oh and those abs, obvs. That nose-ring just totally does it for us, too.

Montana Brown27 of 38

Montana Brown

Montana Brown - advocate of the underboob trend - rated herself a 'solid eight out of 10'. We disagree - she's obviously a full 10.

Zara McDermott28 of 38

Zara McDermott

Zara McDermott turned Adam Collard's head as soon as she strutted into the villa with her lusciously long locks. She sure knows how to rock a high-thigh bikini bottom.

Chris Hughes29 of 38

Chris Hughes

King of the quiff Chris Hughes nearly ripped out of every tee-shirt he somehow managed to pull over those bulging muscles.

Jess Shears30 of 38

Jess Shears

We were obsessed with Jess Shears' model good looks - she should have lasted longer in there.

Terry Walsh31 of 38

Terry Walsh

This one's for all the tattoo lovers out there. It's just a shame they covered Terry Walsh's impeccable pecks.

Alex Beattie32 of 38

Alex Beattie

No wonder personal trainer Alex Beattie caught fellow villa babe Montana Brown's eye. We can't cope.

Scott Thomas33 of 38

Scott Thomas

Scott Thomas' curly locks and that northern accent swooooon

Samira Mighty34 of 38

Samira Mighty

Samira Mighty is a natural beauty who inexplicably gets overlooked in the villa. She's also definitely our best dressed and looks SMOKING in her orange bikini.

Olivia Buckland35 of 38

Olivia Buckland

We loved Olivia Bowen's feistiness, with her tattoos and nose-ring scoring extra HOTHOTHOT points.

Alex Bowen36 of 38

Alex Bowen

Of course Olivia's husband Alex Bowen had to be on the list. He's one of the best things to come out of Love Island 2016.

Amber Gill37 of 38

Amber Gill

Amber Gill was confident from day one (remember when she questioned whether Callum MacLeod could pull off any sunglasses?) and no wonder she's absolutely gorgeous. She won the show alongside Greg and after he dumped her via text she went on to become a millionaire - yes, really.

Max Morley38 of 38

Max Morley

There's a reason Yorkshire lad Max won the first Love Island series, with his sun kissed hair and sporty bod.
