THE world of reality TV will grind to a halt at 9pm tonight when some of the country's most famous singletons give love another go. 

Love Island legends like Scott Thomas, Olivia Hawkins, Marcel Somerville, Gabby Allen and Kaz Crossley are returning to the famous villa for ITV’s second All Stars series.

Season eight winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is even said to be the first bombshell of the series. 

For those not familiar, a Love Island bombshell is someone who enters the villa after the initial group of Islanders has already settled and started forging connections. 

Their goal is to shake things up and put already-established couples to the test. 

However, throughout the last decade that the famous dating show has graced our screens, bombshells have been the cause of a number of rows.

And that includes explosive on-screen rows. 

The show has seen women physically assaulting each other, bottom of the barrel insults thrown around and even NSFW expletives. 

In light of the new series starting tonight, Fabulous takes a look at the most shocking blowouts in Love Island history…

‘Ugly' insult

Love Islanders are no strangers to profanity. 

But one of the worst instances was when Ellie Brown branded fellow house mate Georgia Steel an “ugly c***” in the show’s fourth series. 

It all kicked off after Georgia found herself in a love triangle between Laura Anderson and Jack Fowler - and Ellie had her thoughts on it. 

Speaking to then-beau Charlie Brake, she said: “[Georgia is] a d***head, I do not like the girl.

“She changes her f*****g morals as she goes along to match what she’s doing.”

When it came to a head with Georgia, Laura and Jack later that night, Ellie was quick to get involved and call Georgia an “ugly c***”.

The pair had another bust up at a pool party later in the season, where Ellie confronted Georgia for not being as loyal as she said she was. 

Ellie admitted that what she said was “wrong” and felt “actually embarrassed” by it in her Love Island exit interview.

Malia Arkian lasted about 45 minutes in the villa during the second series of Love Island, owing to the fact she was booted off for pushing Kady McDermott.

Kady spilled her wine on Malia’s leg shortly after she arrived - though it’s up for debate whether this was an accident or not, given Malia had just got back from a date with Scott Thomas, who Kady was coupled up with.

It was reported at the time that a physical "altercation" had happened and Love Island bosses responded by removing Malia from the show.

Part of the argument was aired on the show, which saw both girls screaming in each other’s faces and some sort of shove on Malia’s part.

Malia screams at Kady, and calls her a "f***ing b***h", and shouting: “Shut up you dick, who the f**k do you think you are?”

Kady then stands up and shouts: "I swear to God, if you want to get rowdy…that’s a f***ing joke. Do you honestly think I’d waste my wine over you? It was a f***ing accident.”

Kady later claimed that the newcomer had punched her during the fracas and blood was drawn.

She tweeted: "She punched me in the nose after and gave me a nose bleed but they didn’t show it as too graphic"

You might know Olivia Attwood as a documentarian with a regular slot on Loose Women for her wise outlook on the world. 

But before the woman we have today, we had Hurricane Olivia. 

The Love Island alum took on the entire villa in her Little Mermaid pants after a minor disagreement in the kitchen saw her insult her fellow cast mates “f*****g melts”.

She headed to the bedroom afterwards to take on Montana Brown, warning her to “not get salty” before shouting and lunging towards her.

Olivia also threw out jibes of “f*****g mug” and “you’re a f*****g snake”, leaving Montana in tears. 

She later went toe-to-toe with Marcel Somerville, who we will see on our screens at 9pm tonight for season two of All Stars. 

“By this point, I’d totally seen red,” Olivia later said in a confessional interview. 

“I felt very much like it was me versus everyone, whether I created the situation myself or not, that’s how I felt.”

B*****d or Babe?

When TOWIE star Georgia Harrison made her Love Island debut in 2017, she was tasked with picking a man to couple up.

The only issue? Most of the men were spoken for… by very feisty women. 

Georgia chose to ‘steal’ Kem Cetinay at the recoupling, sparking his then-girlfriend Amber Davies to launch an attack. 

She snapped: “Don’t even speak to me. No it’s not rude, you’re rude.”

When Georgia said, “I had to pick someone”, Amber replied: “Oh, shut up. If anyone’s a b*****d, it’s you babe.”

The spat saw Georgia retreat to the diary room, where she cried about feeling “uncomfortable”.

She later tried to make amends with Amber and reasoned that there’s “no need to get so down her throat about it”.

Amber replied: “I could’ve gone deeper babe.”

With an ongoing love triangle with Ronnie Vint (who is set to appear on All Stars tonight), Harriett Blackmore and Jess White’s relationship didn’t get off to the greatest start.

While coupled up with Jess, he whisked Harriett away to the Hideaway Retreat where they shared a secret kiss. 

Jess was fuming when she found out, and slammed her new love rival as “cheap”.

She went on to say to her villa pals: “Why’d you think she’s done it? She’s desperate. 

“I’ve not overreacted there, have I? It’s the audacity, init.”

Over the course of the 2024 series, the girls regularly found themselves going toe-to-toe with each other in hope of winning Ronnie’s affections.

As part of the heart rate challenge, where the Islanders are tasked to perform sexy dances for the opposite sex to raise their pulses, it was revealed that Jess and Ronnie had made each other's heart rates go the highest, leaving Harriett unimpressed.

But when it was all said and done, Ronnie and Harriett stuck together and even left the villa a couple… until they split up a few months later.
