Love Island is back this January for a special All Star series.

ITV recently confirmed the release month for Love Island All Stars as January 2024, which means it won't be long before we see some of our favourite islanders returning to the villa for a second chance at finding love.

Maya Jama, who took over from Laura Whitmore as host last year, will be back to welcome this year's line-up in the South African villa.

As usual, we can expect lots of fun challenges, coupling up and a fair bit of mugging off, before the first ever winners of Love Island All Stars are revealed.

While ITV are yet to confirm which stars will be returning, rumours have been swirling, with the likes of Ovie Soko, Michael Griffiths and more said to be making a comeback.

The show's executive producer Mike Spencer even said that he'd love to see fan-favourite Maura Higgins back on Love Island.

We'll update you right here as soon as we know for sure which islanders will return for the all-stars series.

In the meantime, read on for everything we know so far about who's speculated to be joining the line-up.

Everyone's fave islander, Ovie Soko, is rumoured to be making a return.

According to an insider, the basketball player has been signed up along with Michael Griffiths as the "angel" and "devil" of their series.

"Ovie and Michael emerged as the angel and devil of series five and both, for their own reasons, made tremendous TV," the source said.

"Both remain seriously hot property with the ladies and Ovie especially is an icon among the Love Island fandom. They'll make amazing signings for All Stars if ITV are able to get their signing across the line."
