Viewers of the ITV2 show will watch on as Casey greets the Islanders from the terrace, yelling: "I’m back!"
Casey's third villa stint comes after he appeared on 2023's winter series when he was coupled up with Claudia Fogarty, and the first edition of All Stars last January.
Speaking out ahead of his return, Casey opened up about bromances and romances, sharing exactly what he's looking for this time around.
When asked if he was looking for another bromance, Casey replied: "I’m actually not! I need to spend most of this time with the girls rather than the boys.

"I think that’s part of the reason I went wrong as well! I was hanging out too much with Tom."
Casey bonded well with Tom Clare in the last series of Love Island: All Stars, with the pair becoming rather close and, in turn, causing Casey to focus on his friend more than finding a girlfriend.
Tom ended up getting in a relationship with Molly Smith, with the hunk urging Casey to take part in the new series of All Stars so he can "actually find someone".
"When I was unsure about doing it for a third time - it is a lot - he was very much like, ‘Casey, you need to do it. Look at what happened to me and I’d love that to happen to you and actually find someone. Doing it is such a good opportunity to do that.’

"They’ve moved in together. They’re so happy together, it’s so nice to see them so good.
"All I want is to find ‘my Molly’. And Joshia [Ritchie] and Sophie [Piper] as well.
"They’re so good together. I saw it firsthand as well, they’re great," he said of his former castmates.
Opening up about whether or not he is a third wheel to Tom and Molly, Casey said that Tom still makes time for their friendship.
"Honestly, we FaceTime every single day," he said.
"There’s not a day that goes past that we don’t chat.
"I do miss him. It’s going to be weird not having him in the Villa. It’s the first time I’ll be here without him, which is weird."

WHAT CASEY WANTS THIS TIME AROUND
On what made him return to the villa, Casey said: "Getting to go in within the first few days of the show, I feel like I’ve got such a big opportunity to find someone and hopefully come out of the Villa potentially with a girlfriend."
Revealing what he's looking for in a potential girlfriend, Casey explained how in the past he thought he had "such a type" and wanted to be attracted to a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl.

"But now I want to just be open and care more about personality rather than looks this time," he confessed.
Casey added: "It’s all about energy. They’ve got to be matching my energy. They’ve got to be similar to me, into the same sort of things as me."
