Love Island spin off returning – but a show star is missing

LOVE Island fans will be pleased to know that the show's daily podcast is back for All Stars.

Love Island: The Morning After is returning for another series, however, one of the show's stars is missing from the presenter line-up.

Over the years, the daily podcast has proved to be a huge hit with fans.

And it has been presented by a whole host of stars and former Islanders.

For the summer series of Love Island, last year's All Stars contestant Chris Taylor hosted it alongside Indiyah Polack.

However, The Sun can reveal because the former Islander is busy taking part in Dancing On Ice, he is unable to do the podcast this year.

Instead Indiyah will be joined by popular 2019 Islander Amy Hart, who's ex-boyfriend Curtis Pritchard is actually appearing on All Stars.

A source told us: “Chris is gutted he’s not hosting it this year but he’ll be way too busy with Dancing On Ice.

"Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack are taking the reigns and Chris hopes he’ll jump on as a guest at some point.”

Before it was fronted by Chris, I'm A Celeb winner Sam Thompson hosted the podcast.

However, following his jungle win in 2023, the reality star has become too in demand to take it on.

Meanwhile, with launch night just days away, there is already a HUGE twist waiting for the legendary Islanders.

So far 12 stars have been unveiled are heading into the villa.

All of the Islanders, who have appeared across series two to 11 of the ITV2 dating hit, were once able to step forward for who they fancied and choose their pairs themselves.

But The Sun revealed that for Love Island All Stars, the fans have now got the chance to decide who will be matched with who on Day One.

Voting opened at 7.30am this morning, and fans cast their vote on ITV's Love Island app.

A viewer vote was also used to pick the first set of couples for All Stars last year.

That saw fans putting ex-couple Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish together.

This didn't go down well at all with Jake, who quit within days.

The Sun also revealed how the All Stars South African villa will see its living room filled with beds.

Fans think this is a sign that the series could be the biggest one yet, with more bombshells arriving than ever.

Love Island All Stars kicks off on ITV2 on Monday, January 13 at 9pm.
