The cast of Love Island: All Stars has been revealed.
And there is not a single Irish cast member involved. We’re sorry what?
The Irish islanders were singlehandedly the most witty and iconic on the reality show. And they couldn’t find one to return?
We know that Maura Higgins, Dami Hope, Greg O’Shea and Matthew McNabb are all loved up but surely there was someone?!
We mean what was the thought process behind that?
Take a look at the All Star line-up below…

What will your family and friends think about you going back on the show?
It’s a running joke with my family and friends that for me to find something serious with a girl,I would need to go on Love Island. They call it my version of a dating app.
My family are so supportive and are just waiting for me to bring another girl home from the Villa.
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa?
I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.

Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I feel like going in this time it’ll be nice because we have all gone through similar experiences, I think that’ll create an instant connection.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner. It’s a massive benefit for me as it makes me more knowledgeable and wiser on what I need to receive from a relationship.

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa?
For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
What was your most memorable moment from your first time in the Love Island Villa?
There are two that stand out for me! If I get seen out, people always ask me ‘does your mum still shave your bum?’ Haha. That just doesn’t go away!
And of course it has to be Craig David performing. It was iconic.

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa?
To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love. I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve previously dated from the show?
The thing is, I’m a bad b*tch so I will handle it with as much grace as I can.

What will you do differently this time round?
I am going to try very hard to not get pied as many times as I did last time. I managed to get pied six times in 15 days, which has got to be a world record.
I am going to make better decisions which will probably end up transitioning into worse decisions.
How did the Barbie Movie come about?
I was invited to an after party by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie.
18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers asking do you want to try out for this role as Ken – it was a tumble dryer of emotions.

Love Island Series: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa?
The last time I went in as a bombshell and I always wondered if I would have found love if I’d gone in a bit earlier. When I heard about Love Island: All Stars, I thought it was meant to be.
As much as this years been amazing, it’s been heavy at times and pretty serious with all of my campaigning work. This is the last year of my 20’s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
What will you do differently this time round?
This time around I’m going to be more confident, I was 21 the first time around, I’m now 29 and I feel like I know myself fully at this age. I’ve also got new boobs, which is great when you’re in a bikini so they’re ready to rock and roll! I think above all else I’m just going to have as much fun as possible.
Hannah Elizabeth
Age: 33
From: Liverpool
Love Island Series: 1
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa?
I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.
You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round?
Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time. It was almost ten years ago and I was in that proper whirlwind kind of love, now that I’m that bit older I try to take things a little slower.
Jake Cornish

From: Weston-super-Mare
Love Island Series: 7
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
It’s high spirits. The sun’s out, everyone is happy and you’re taking part in a once in a lifetime experience. Who wouldn’t be excited to go into the Villa?!
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing?
Well there is only one and that’s Liberty. We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end.
Demi Jones

From: Portsmouth
Love Island Series: 6
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa?
I am returning to the Love Island Villa because I am ready again to find love. I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back. So, let’s find a man!
What will you do differently this time round?
I will go in there with a little more determination. Last time I was a little too naive and a little too nice. I’m still going to be my nice and bubbly self, but if I want something I will go after it, because I deserve it as much as the next person.
Luis Morrison
Age: 29
From: London
Love Island Series: 1
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I feel like it’s the best place to find different connections. I am confident I will find a connection again.
Liberty Poole
Age: 24
From: Birmingham
Love Island Series: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa?
I’ve grown so much as a person since I was first on the show, so I’m excited for people to see that. I’m a lot more confident in who I am and sure about exactly what I want from a relationship. I just want to have fun and meet a lovely boy.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing?
It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best. I’m going to be focused on my own journey so if it was to happen I won’t be worrying about them – so I’ll stay focussed on my goal, which is to find love.
Mitchel Taylor
Age: 27
From: Sheffield
Love Island Series: 10
What will your friends and family think about you going back on the show?
My mum loves it. She is going to have a great January / February just watching me on TV. She loves being known as my mum. She loves it. I wouldn’t be surprised if she started up the Mitch Taylor fan club again.
In the summer you were given the name ‘Messy Mitch’, and a name that you have taken on as your own, why do you think you got this name and can we expect more of the same in the series?
I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being “Messy Mitch”. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for. If I don’t agree with something, I’m not going to hold it back.
Love Island starts at 9pm Monday 15th January on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
