‘I’ve grown, I’ve matured, I’m so different now. I’m a little less unhinged’. Love Island: All Stars contestant Leanne Amaning has quit the show before even entering the villa in South Africa, stating that it made “less sense” for her to appear. She added: “The more the show went on, the less sense it made for me to go in there. And the less I wanted to. Long story short, I’m back [in the UK].”.

Amaning joked that her dramatic exit was “ironic” because she took “so much persuading” to return to the series in the first place. “I’ve grown, I’ve matured, I’m so different now. I’m a little less unhinged. I’m single AF,” she said. The influencer remained coy about her specific reasons for leaving the show, but did tell one fan in the comments of her video: “aww thank u girlll, i just couldn't enter that villa to suffer.”.
The show, hosted by Maya Jama, sees fan favourites, villains, and even ex-couples from previous seasons come together for a second shot at love. The inaugural All Stars season last year was a success, with Molly Smith and Tom Clare being crowned the winners after the dramatic entrance of Molly’s ex Callum Jones. The new series, which began airing on 13 January 2025, feature Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Curtis Pritchard, Luca Bish, Olivia Hawkins, India Reynolds, Marcel Sommerville, and Catherine Agbaje.
Ekin-Su, 30, and Curtis, 28, have been coupled up since the start of the show and endured a relatively smooth ride until the entrance of bombshell Danielle Sellers. Danielle selected Curtis for an overnight stay upon her entrance, with the failed Hollyoaks star making repeated remarks about how “easy” it has been to get to know her. A flirty encounter in the bedroom, in which Curtis played with Danielle’s hand, led fan favourite Elma Pazar to suggest that the dancer was not completely “closed off” to new people despite his romance with Ekin-Su.
On the 30 January episode, matters came to a head when Ekin-Su confronted Curtis about his feelings for Danielle. Curtis evaded the question, mirroring his behaviour during his original season with Loose Women guest panellist Amy Hart. “I want you to be a hundred per cent real,” Curtis began as he explained why he was now unhappy with the connection. “F*** you if you don't think I'm authentic,” his partner hit back.
