TINA Stinnes from the 2016 series will be entering the Love Island villa tonight, and she's set to turn a fair few heads among the boys.

But when she was announced as the new Love Island: All Stars bombshell last night, fans were baffled by Tina's appearance.

Almost nine years on from her first appearance on the hit show, Tina obviously looks different, with fans saying they are shocked at just how much she has changed.

When Tina appeared on the show almost nine years ago, she was cast alongside Scott Thomas, with fans quick to say how he would not recognise her.

"I would never be able to tell that this is Tina I’m sorry," said one person online.

"Wow this is a completely different person. Scott might not even recognise her tbf," added a second.

"Guys I’m not even being funny but apart from Casey who the f**k else is gonna realise that’s Tina? Like imagine when she walks in," said a third.

A fourth penned: "AINT no f**king way anybody would be able to tell that’s Tina, not even Scott."

"It's actually quite sad how different Tina looks to S2, and i'm not talking about a difference in age to back then," said a fifth.

A sixth person then said: "lol watching Toby’s snap and he doesn’t know who Tina is he thought it was Lana."

"They set Tina up by calling her an iconic bombshell," penned a seventh, "Firstly it’s hard to recognise her even if you’ve watched S2 due to how different she looks."

Tina is pals with Gabby Allen, so will know some of the Islanders in the villa this year already.

Speaking out ahead of her villa entry, Tina said: "I think I'd like to show myself more, I'd like to show my strength as I wasn't as strong back then so I'd like to show who I am now.

"When I did it, I was 21 and it's been such a long time, and I've learnt so many life lessons."

Tina entered the villa as a bombshell on day 20 of the 2016 series, but failed to hit it off with Kady McDermott, who referred to her as a "Made in Chelsea reject" after she appeared on the E4 reality show in 2014.

The then 21-year-old was then dumped on day 40 after Adam Maxted decided to couple up with Katie Salmon.

Love Island All Stars 2025 official line-up

Love Island All Stars is back on TV for season 2.

Here we take you through the line-up of all the Islanders who are in the villa so far.

Bombshells

Each series brings with it a string of hot single bombshells making their epic entrance into the villa.

Here's who has joined the villa so far:

Tina's arrival comes after we revealed that one of Love Island All Stars’ strongest couples is already on the rocks after a lovers’ tiff exploded during a game.

The Sun can reveal that in scenes not yet shown on screen, Scott and India Reynolds had a row in the bedroom after a disagreement escalated.

A villa source said: “As older Islanders, India and Scott are both mature and old enough to stand their ground but by the same token, are perhaps a little set in their ways after being single for a while.

“A disagreement escalated and they had a tiff in the bedroom.

“They were then called outside to take part in a game at the fire pit, where the tension ramped up.

“The topic was brought up again and they started to argue again.

“All the Islanders were shocked as they’d had no idea about the first cross words in the bedroom.

“What had seemed to be the villa’s strongest couple is now looking like the wobbliest connection.”
