Love Island: All Stars S1
Love Island: All Stars brings together fan favourites from past seasons for a second chance at love – at the same luxury villa in Franschhoek in South Africa’s Winelands that was used in Season 9 of the UK edition.
Hosted by Maya Jama with narration by Iain Stirling, the series sticks to its signature format of coupling up, challenges, and unexpected twists – but now the contestants have seen each other compete before, and sometimes dated too…
As The Guardian says, “Bringing back the show’s greatest contestants is a stroke of genius.”
