Following the announcement of the Love Island All Stars OG lineup, we take a look a look at which returning islanders could shake up the villa as bombshells.
Throughout the history of Love Island, there have been many iconic islanders who made their mark and delivered the intended bombshell energy.
Maura Higgins (Series 5)
Ovie Soko (Series 5)
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu (Series 8 & All Stars Series 2)
Adam Collard (Series 8)
In 2024, two bombshells made a significant impact in the villa as exes Molly Smith and Callum Jones were reunited in the first series of All Stars.
In the same series, we saw Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish reconnect for a brief period before Jake quit the show after just three days. Series 2 also sent shockwaves through the villa as Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville came face to face after finishing in fourth place as a couple in 2017.
Could we see history repeat itself in series 3?
(Series 7)
Newly single Liam could be a strong contender to enter the villa as a bombshell given his history with Millie Court. After winning the show in series 7, the couple reportedly split in 2022, before reuniting in 2023 and parting ways again in 2025.
On her social media, Millie voiced to her millions of followers how heartbroken she was following the split and was prepared to 'start again', while Liam too has been active on social media and recently vowed to make 2026 his 'greatest year yet'.
The question is, would the Welshman try to win her back, or would he have his eyes set on one of the other single girls?
(Series 9)
Reports suggest that Tanya be on her way back to the villa, perhaps to attend to unfinished business with Shaq.
The two started and ended their season as a couple in 2023, finishing fourth after a public vote. The two moved in together and became official after leaving the villa, before the relationship eventually broke down in 2024 due to cheating allegations.
Could Tanya come back to haunt Shaq this time round?
(Season 9) (All Stars Season 2)
Samie has already appeared on the show twice. During series nine, she placed third with Tom Clare, who went on to win Love Island All Stars series one with Molly Smith. Samie entered All Stars as a late bombshell in season two but unfortunately failed to turn any of the boys' heads and was therefore dumped.
Outside of Love Island, she reportedly shared public romances with Harry Lee (2024) and Sam Thompson (2025) and appeared on Channel 4 show 'Celebs Go Dating'.
It seems as if Samie has been unlucky in love so far and so a third appearance on Love Island seems likely!
(Season 12)
Nicknamed 'Young Bull', Harrison had a rocky appearance on the most recent series and was criticised for his controversial behavior. He may have a redemption arc in mind if he is to return to the villa, having frustrated the public with his turbulent relationship with fan favourite Toni Laites.
Harrison eventually chose to leave the villa for Lauren Wood after being involved in one of the biggest love triangles in Love Island history. The couple split in November and insisted that they have remained friends. Harrison has not publicly been seen in another romantic relationship since their break up.
(Series 9) (All Stars Series 1) (All Stars Series 2) (Love Island Games)
Casey has been working his way through each series of Love Island and takes the title for the most appearances on the show.
On All Stars Series 2, Casey came first with Gabby Allen, winning the 50k prize. Just three months after, the couple went their separate ways.
Based on his track record, it wouldn't be a huge shock if Casey appeared on our screens for the fifth time.
In true Love Island style, there are always extra twists and turns to keep viewers and islanders on their toes. In previous series, Love Island has taken an international route, featuring islanders from Australia/USA spin offs, such as Jessie Wynter (Love Island AU Series 2 and Love Island Series 9).
With the new addition of Love Island Games, there's plenty of scope for ITV to bring islanders from across the pond or down under to feature in Love Island All Stars.
Potential International Bombshells
Amaya Espinal (Love Island USA Series 7)
Callum Hole (Love Island Australia Series 4 & Love Island Games)
Justine Ndiba (Love Island USA Series 2 & Love Island Games)
