Love Island All Stars - Cracking On with The Sun

Jake and Liberty were amongst the first to enter the villa – leaving Liberty gobsmacked, and Jake shaking his head, saying "what are the chances?".

But less than 24 hours after the launch episode, it was announced that Jake had already exited the show.

It may not come as a surprise to some as there were some telltale signs that the Weston-Super-Mare lad was set to leave.

During the first episode the women were instructed to stand beside the man they wanted to couple up with.

While Chris Taylor had three of the islanders lining up to date him, Jake Cornish was left standing alone.

It made for awkward viewing as the girls competed against each other and the boys were disheartened if they weren't picked.

Last night the former water engineer looked unimpressed and dismayed as he realised his fate during the coupling up.

After Maya Jama announced the news just hours after All Stars launched, he raged: "I knew it".

Speaking on how he felt about the reunion with his ex flame, Jake said: "I don't hate the girl."

But just to prove to Jake that he is well and truly in the past, Liberty quickly described who her 'type on paper' is - and it wasn't him.

Instead, as Liberty described her ideal partner, she appeared to be talking about fellow islander Chris Taylor, who was sat next to them.

The Brummie beauty said: "I just kinda want someone who's emotionally mature, has a laugh - you've gotta laugh with them, otherwise it's too boring.

"I want someone who does random sh**, like let's do a roly poly randomly. Someone who is very random.

"The chemistry is either there or it isn't."

Liberty was cracking on with Mitch

At the same time, Liberty was making it clear she had no interest in Jake as she admitted having the hots for Mitch Taylor.

The Doncaster lad was then branded a "walking red flag" after his treatment of show partner Abi Moores.

Despite the Birmingham-beauty smitten with the former gas engineer, fans shared their fears that Liberty is heading for heartbreak again.

Viewers were quick to share their thoughts, with one writing on X: "Liberty saying she’s done with heartbreak then choosing Mitchell."

Another said: "Liberty run away from Mitch if you don’t want another heartbreak."

He has form for quitting

Jake was famously branded a “gas-lighter” and a “narcissist” after romancing Liberty on the reality show in 2021.  

The pair had coupled up from the start and were on track to being crowned winners. Fans even nicknamed them Jiberty.

But things came crashing down after the infamous Movie Night. 

Liberty watched on screen as her villa boyfriend told his male pals that he didn’t find her sexually attractive. 

Viewers had already accused Jake of “using” Liberty to get to the final and it seemed she began to think the same. 

Liberty and Jake quit the show and walked.

So it's not surprising that history has repeated itself.

Earlier today, a source said: "Jake was really shocked to see Liberty in the villa - they had no idea the other person would be there.

“It was clear from the start they wouldn't get back together, then none of the girls wanted to step forward for him.

“Jake had a nice three days in the villa and had a very emotional chat to Maya Jama.

“Jake couldn't stay in the villa so he quit the show - it's not his time and it's not the right time to find love."

When asked by Maya if any chance they could reconcile, they both shook their heads straight away.

Before the series started The Sun quizzed show boss Mike Spencer on whether he thought there was any chance of the former couple getting back together.

He said: “I secretly hope so, I think it would be good. It would be good to see how they interact.

"That's what I'm excited to see, whether they pick up from where they left off. I don't think they've seen each other.

"So I'll be interested to see that first chat.”
