Love Island All Stars relationships in full from warring exes to pals reunited
A string of popular Love Island stars will return to reality TV this evening for their second chance at finding love.
The brand new series filmed in South Africa, Love Island All-Stars, will see a twist to the original ITV2 format, with stars from previous seasons coming together in a bid to find romance once again. The line-up includes some of the biggest bombshells from years gone by who can't wait to get back to the villa in the hope of finding lasting love this time around.
As the All-Stars show launches tonight, with Maya Jama once again returning to hosting duties, we take a look at past romances among the cast, along with their previous connections...
Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish
Jake Cornish, 26, and Liberty Poole, 24, were coupled up from day one of the 2021 series and went from strength to strength. But it came crashing down for the couple as they neared the final, with Jake making a U-turn.
After telling each other they loved each other within days, the duo, who were nicknamed 'Jiberty', sailed through numerous re-couplings and even had sex in the villa. However, cracks began to show when Jake shockingly told fellow islanders he didn't feel physically attracted to the blonde Brummie.

To the delight of viewers, she ended up dumping him just before the final, which abruptly ended their journey on the show together.
Since leaving Series 7, the pair haven't crossed paths and are therefore in for a rude awakening tonight. Insisting there won't be any bad blood on her part when they reunite, Liberty said: "If he's in there and wants a conversation then I'm happy to talk. At the time I didn't have any regrets about my experience in the villa. I learned a lot about myself and [by leaving] I definitely did what was right for me at the time.
"I will wish him the best and if we are both in there together then I want him to focus on finding love because that’s definitely what I’m going to be doing," added Liberty. "I'm going to be focused on finding someone and I don’t want me and Jake being in the same room to take away from each other’s experiences. I think we’ll be civil. Maybe we could even be mates? Maybe! Who knows.
"I'm hoping for a better experience this time," she added. "I hope I leave with someone because that's the whole point of going on. I want to leave with a fittie with a good personality and a good heart." While Liberty hopes things can be at least civil between her and Jake, she has ruled out ever reconciling with the Weston-super-Mare native.
"I am a believer in second chances but in this case, I don't think so. Jake and I ended because there was some incompatibilities there. I don't regret my decision. But for me, I will now be focused on new connections."
Meanwhile, when Jake was asked about whether he is worried about seeing his exes in the villa, he said: "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."

"Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit - I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me! It would be good to find a girl who I can co-parent my dog with."

"Honestly when I went in for series ten, you saw me and Molly, I went for Molly, I wanted her. And with this one, I am not going to make myself that vulnerable. I am going to play the game."

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.
"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."

Anton Danyluk

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.
