Love Island spinoff Love Island All Stars is back with more romance and drama as former contestants return to South Africa for a second shot at love.

The inaugural All Stars season was a success, with Molly Smith and Tom Clare being crowned the winners after the dramatic entrance of Molly’s ex Callum Jones. This winter, the ITV reality show returns for a second series. Although the broadcaster has confirmed the first 12 contestants who will be appearing on the show, there is still room for a number of surprise bombshells. Among the rumoured contestants to re-appear are Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Grace Jones.

Here is a rundown of this year’s confirmed contestants. Curtis Pritchard (season five). The 28-year-old dancer first appeared on our TV screens in 2019, when he left his partner Amy Hart heartbroken in memorable (and much-memed) scenes after Casa Amor. Amy left the villa when she found her love for Curtis was unrequited, at which point he moved on with future I’m a Celeb star Maura Higgins. Their relationship lasted eight months, before Maura moved on with fellow Islander Chris Taylor.

Since Love Island he’s appeared on Celebs Go Dating, Dancing with the Stars, also delivering a viral acting performance in Hollyoaks. Described as a “sweetheart” and “lover boy” by host Maya Jama, Curtis says he’s returning to the villa because “settling down is a serious idea in my life”.
