Love Island All Stars is back and fans are buzzing with excitement as they eagerly await the return of some familiar faces from past seasons. However, not everyone was pleased with the selection of contestants chosen by ITV for the new series.
Some viewers expressed their disappointment with the female options, which included former Islander Toby Aromolaran, who famously struggled to choose between two women, Anton Danyluk, known for his emotional outburst over his love for Craig David, and Jake Cornish, who coined the catchphrase "You're my girlfriend." The male line-up was completed by Luis Morrison, Mitchel Taylor, and Chris Taylor, with Callum Jones joining later in the first episode. Surprisingly, it was Chris who seemed to escape any criticism from fans.
One viewer, Ruby Naldrett, tweeted her thoughts on the male contestants, stating that Chris was the only non-evil man in the villa and that things were looking "bleak" for the female contestants. The tweet gained over 4,000 likes and sparked a conversation among fans about the men's "credentials."
Before the official couples were revealed by host Maya Jama, the girls were asked who they would like to be paired with. Chris, at 33 years old, was the most popular choice among the ladies, with Hannah Elizabeth, Georgia Harrison, and Kaz Kamwi all expressing their interest in the alum, who famously had a cameo in Barbie. One fan even commented on Chris' popularity, saying that it was "so real" because he was cute.
Another fan, Luke Cullen, couldn't wait to see more of Chris' comedic moments, stating that they had forgotten how funny he was and that it was going to be great to see him on the show again. Demi Jones also showed interest in Chris, but ultimately chose to couple up with Luis after seeing so many other girls pick him. However, it was the public who ultimately paired Chris with Demi.
The first episode also saw Jake and Liberty Poole back together as a couple after their break-up just before the 2021 final. This reunion is sure to bring some awkward conversations that viewers will get to witness. In response to the public's choice, Jake made an odd statement, saying that he didn't "hate the girl." He quickly realized that his choice of words may not have been the best and joked that he was going to become a meme.
As if one unexpected reunion wasn't enough, 27-year-old Callum Jones entered the villa, and host Maya revealed that he would have the chance to steal one of the girls from the boys in front of him. But before he could make his decision, Maya announced that there was one more all-star who could shake things up. Callum's ex-girlfriend, Molly Smith, then entered the villa, leaving the other Islanders shocked.
The other couples chosen by the public were Anton and Hannah, Luis and Georgia H, Mitch and Kaz, and Toby and Georgia Steele. Some fans expressed their hope that this could be a good series, with some even praising producers for the twist with Callum and Molly. One fan, Katelynn Mensah, wrote that they believed this could be a great season and crossed their fingers for it.
Love Island All Stars will continue tomorrow on ITV2 at 9pm. Do you agree with the public's choices for the couples? Let us know in the comments.
