Love Island All Stars series in works with huge female islander top of ITV’s wish list

LOVE Island are developing an All Stars series which will reunite some of the show’s sexiest former stars.

Insiders said ITV were in talks about the new show which could air next year.

Single stars including Maura Higgins, from the fifth series, Sophie Piper from sixth series and second series star Kady McDermott are among the islanders who may be asked to return.

A source said: “Love Island All Stars is in development at ITV and it is a concept they have been talking about.

“This summer’s series marks the tenth series of the show and ITV thinks there is an appetite for the concept.

“The plan would be to invite some of the sexiest and most successful former islanders to see if they can find love for a second time around.

“Women like Maura, Sophie and India would be top of ITV’s wish list, while male stars including former 2017 series winner Kem Cetinay and fan favourite Scott Thomas, who was in the show in 2016, are also on the wish list.”

The new show idea comes ahead of I’m A Celebrity All Stars, which is due to air this summer.

Celebrities including boxer Amir Khan, Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan, former royal butler Paul Burrell and ex-Countdown star Carol Vorderman filmed a special version of the show in South Africa last year.

The source added: “ITV want to see how well their All Stars version of I’m A Celebrity goes down before they start moving forward with Love Island.

“They will be watching very closely how the public and fans react and will be taking down notes.”

Maya Jama, 28, is the host of the current series of the show, Winter Love Island, which is being filmed in South Africa.

She will return for the summer series in its home in Mallorca in June.
