Love Island: All Stars cast: who are the new bombshells? Recoupling result explained
Love Island: All Stars has seen a few new faces entering the villa already! 👀📺
- Love Island: All Stars has had quite the dramatic start.
- The premiere was delayed - but it has been worth the wait.
- But who are the new bombshells entering the villa?
A dramatic first week in the villa concluded with a huge recoupling and some bombshell entries. It has been quite the seven days on Love Island: All Stars as the premiere was delayed due to wildfires in South Africa.
Once it was safe for the production crews and the stars to return to the villa, the action finally kicked off on Thursday (January 15). It meant that for the first time in show history there was a full episode on a Saturday night - not just Unseen Bits.
But who are the new bombshells in the villa? Here’s all you need to know:
What happened in the Love Island: All Stars recoupling?
Despite only having started a couple of days ago, the show has already stunned viewers and the islanders with the first recoupling. It followed the arrival of the new bombshell Konnor.
However, he was not the only new arrival on screen last night (January 18). More on that later in the article.
Following Konnor’s entry in the villa, the first recoupling of the season took place. The couples are now as follows:
- Belle and Sean
- Helena and Shaq
- Jack and Whitney
- Jess and Tommy
- Konnor and Millie
- Leanne and Scott
Ciaran and Charlie are now left single - and potentially at risk of leaving the villa. But two more bombshells have also arrived to shake things up!
Who are the new bombshells on Love Island?
It would not be a season of the iconic ITV reality series without shock arrivals shaking things up in the villa. The trio of new faces as follows:
- Konnor Ewudzi, 30 - Series 11 islander
- AJ Bunker, 33 - Series 7 islander
- Samie Elishi, 25 - Series 9 & All Stars Series 2 Islander
Speaking about returning to the villa, Konnor said: “It’s another opportunity to find somebody; I didn't find a girl the first time round so it’s a great chance to try again.
“My approach will be the same, I just hope I can find a girl that can match my energy.”
AJ explained: “I’ve been single for a while so I’m really excited to go in and hopefully find a romantic connection with someone.
“I just want to not be so in my shell. My friends and family watching knew it wasn’t me and I was being reserved. There were times during my previous series where I should have spoken up and said ‘That’s not ok’ - I was putting my own feelings aside.”
Meanwhile, Sammie said: “I feel like my last time in the All Stars Villa, I didn't get a fair shot and it’s such an amazing experience so if I can do it one more time, why not?
“I’m probably going to go in with the same attitude. I didn't do anything that wasn't true to myself last time. I will just be me again.”
When is Love Island: All Stars on TV next?
