Love Island All Stars 2026: Everything You Need to Know About Series Three

Love Island All Stars Returns for Its Biggest Series Yet

Love Island All Stars is set to premiere on 12th January 2026, bringing another dose of romance and drama to viewers’ screens. The show will start on Monday 12th January at 9pm, airing on ITV2 and ITVX. This marks the third series of the popular spin-off, which sees former contestants return to the villa for another chance at finding love.

The significance of Love Island All Stars cannot be overstated for reality TV enthusiasts. The newly iconic show has quickly become a favourite, with fans eager to see some familiar faces. Unlike previous series, the fan-favorite Islanders will spend six weeks in South Africa, making it bigger than ever, extending beyond the usual five-week format.

The Star-Studded Cast Returns

In the lineup this year are former winners, villains and some who were particularly unlucky in love. The confirmed cast includes some major names from Love Island history. Love Island royalty and previous winner Millie Court is back in the building, having split up and got back together twice with Liam. Other notable contestants include Ciaran, who was a runner up in 2024 alongside Nicole before they split just months after the show ended.

Both Tanya and Shaq are in talks to return for Love Island All Stars, having been a popular couple from the Winter edition who finished in fourth place but split in December 2024. The series promises emotional reunions, with rumour having it that a few exes will be coming face-to-face in the upcoming series.

What to Expect This Series

Unlike the summer series, which is set in Mallorca, Love Island: All Stars is filmed in South Africa, where the weather is more favourable during this time. Maya Jama will return to present the series, with Iain Stirling returning as narrator, ensuring continuity for devoted fans.

ITV revealed there’s still plenty of unfinished business, with All Star islanders returning to the villa to tie up all these loose ends. The extended format and carefully selected cast suggest this could be the most dramatic series yet. For viewers in the United States, the show will be available on Peacock shortly after the UK premiere, allowing international fans to follow along with the drama as former contestants seek redemption, romance, and perhaps revenge in the South African sun.
