Cast members returning to the villa for season 2 of Love Island All Stars
Gabby Allen
First introduced as a bombshell entry in season 3 of Love Island in 2017, 32-year-old Gabby Allen returns to the Villa for season 2 of the all star series. A veteran of reality television, the Knowsley, Merseyside native has appeared on Love Island, Celebrity Big Brother, and The Challenge: Double Agents. But, her return has been met with widespread gasps for more reasons than one – notably, it heralds a spicy reunion with her Love Island ex, Marcel Sommerville. While Gabby and Marcel survived the trials and tribulations of Casa Amor to emerge fourth in their season, their relationship eventually crashed and burned when he cheated on her, one year later.
Speaking on her reasons for returning to Love Island, Gabby had this to say: “It’s the trenches out there! I feel like I have all my ducks in a row, it has been eight years since I went in to the Villa. I now run my businesses and I’ve grown up a lot, but I just haven’t found ‘the one’ yet.”

Upon reuniting with Marcel, Gabby understandably had some choice words. And while it’s more than likely her intent was to stay far away from this go round, fate (or the show’s producers) had a different idea (ratings, right?). In a premiere episode twist, host Maya Jama revealed that the audience had selected the pairings they wanted to see. And to nobody and everybody’s surprise, the pair ended up coupled together on their inaugural night in the villa. If you need another sign that this is going to be a season of absolute chaos, this is it. Are we in for an enemies-to-lovers twist? Will Marcel survive his ex’s bombastic side eye? Will we bear witness to Bennifer: The Love Island edition? Only time will tell.
Marcel Sommerville
Born in London, England, 39-year-old Marcel Sommerville has earned a reputation for making bad decisions in relationships — notably, cheating. A rapper, DJ, record producer, and former member of hip-hop group Blazin’ Squad, Marcel, whose stage names include Rocky B, Plat’num B, or Bezzle first appeared on season 3 Love Island, where he emerged in fourth place with then-girlfriend Gabby Allen. Like many Islanders, Marcel has had a long and colourful career on reality television, having also appeared on The Games. He currently presents the It’s Not All Dad podcast alongside Jamie Jewitt and Jake Quickenden.

A recent divorcee, Marcel’s return to the villa has been a huge talking point of interest amongst fans. His reunion with Gabby has been nothing short of explosive — especially if you enjoy watching scorned women rip into their exes. Now that the two have been paired up, only time will tell if forgiveness is in the cards. As to his reasoning for returning to the Villa, Marcel says, “I thought that I’d completed love and found my happily ever after – but the universe had a different plan. Somehow every time my life is at a crossroads, I’ve got the opportunity to do Love Island. So, I thought, why not?”
Curtis Pritchard
28-year-old Curtis Pritchard hails from Staffordshire, England, where he has made a name for himself as a dancer and choreographer. Having appeared on the Irish Dancing with the Stars between 2017 to 2019, Curtis made his Love Island debut in season 5, eventually crossing the finish line in fourth place with fellow islander Maura Higgins.
Curtis is no stranger to British television. Notably, he has also appeared on a plethora of other variety and reality shows and soaps including RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, The Boxer and The Ballroom Dancer, The Greatest Dancer, Hollyoaks, The Challenge UK, and Love Island Games. His previous notably dalliances include relationships with fellow Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Emily Barker, and his Love Island counterpart, Maura.
Speaking on his return to the villa, he said, “I feel like I’m in a different stage in my life. The idea of settling down is a serious idea in my life right now. I haven’t found my true love. That sounds so cheesy doesn’t it. So, I thought, let’s give it another go. It was great fun last time; a lot of emotions. I feel excited to go back. I’m going to have a great fun time and hopefully leave with someone. It’s exciting.”
Kaz Crosley
Of Thai descent, 29-year-old Kazimir Samita “Kaz” Crossley made her first Love Island appearance in the show’s fourth season, when she was introduced as part of the show’s Casa Amor twist. Upon entering, Kaz quickly coupled up with Josh Denzel, with whom she remained in a relationship until their eventual split in January 2019.
Like many of her fellow islanders, the vivacious blonde and former make-up artist is no stranger to the reality television circuit. She appeared on Celebrity Ex on the Beach (2022), The Challenge UK (2023) and The Challenge: World Championship (2023), the latter two of which she won. On her turn to the villa, Kaz believes her personal growth will contribute to her chances. She said, “The first experience I had was so amazing, and also so much fun! I’m even more mature now so I’m ready to find a relationship.”
Catherine Agbaje
Irish television personality Catherine Funmilayo Agbaje first made her Love Island debut on the show’s tenth season as an original islander. Born in Tyrrelstown, County Dublin to parents of Nigerian descent, the 24-year-old Cancer native worked in commercial real estate before getting into reality television. On why she wants to return to the villa, Catherine said, “I want to find love again, I want to give it another shot because it works!”
Nas Majeed
Born in Wandsworth, London, 28-year-old Nas Majeed boasts a diverse background which includes Pakistani and Guyanese heritage. In 2020, the former builder made his Love Island debut in the show’s sixth season; he was one of the original islanders, coupling up with Siânnise Fudge, Jess Gale, Demi Jones, and Eva Zapico. While Nas and Eva did not make the cut and ended up being dumped from the island, they found true love in one another, dating for four years after their Love Island adventure. Sadly, the couple did not make it, eventually landing Nas right back where he started, ready for his second shot at love.
On why he wants to return to the villa, Nas said, “It was so much fun the first time around, waking up every day with a smile on my face — it feels like a full circle moment. It was quite successful for me the first time around. I was with Eva for four years. So, I’m hoping that Love Island can come through again and make it everlasting.”
Olivia Hawkins
An aspiring actress with minor roles in television shows, 29-year-old Olivia Hawkins was born in Brighton, England. Impressively, she has a BA Hons in professional dance and musical theatre, which fuels her professional career. To date, the Gemini-Cancer cusp native has appeared in Top Boy, Queens of Mystery, Autopsy: The Last Hours of…, No Time To Die, Grace, EastEnders, and Buffering.
In 2023, she made her debut appearance on season 9 of Love Island, entering the villa on day 1 as an original islander. Sadly, she was dumped alongside her villa counterpart, Maxwell Samuda, on day 45. On rejoining Love Island for its second all stars season, Olivia said, “I’m still single and getting close to my thirties, I feel ready for it now. I’m ready to meet a nice man.”
Luca Bish
Hailing from Brighton, England, 24-year-old Luca Bish has much to recommend him for success on Love Island All Stars. The handsome Taurean native first made his Love Island debut in 2022, when he appeared on the eighth season of the show. Formerly a fishmonger, Luca coupled up with Paige Thorne and Danica Taylor in the show, before ultimately finishing in second place with Gemma Owen. In 2023, he returned to reality TV by appearing on Celebrity Masterchef, once again emerging as the runner up. Now, Luca returns to the villa as an original cast member on season 2 of Love Island All Stars. Speaking on his motivations for rejoining the show, he said, “I had such a good time last time, why not? I get to have a good time with the possibility of ending up with someone.”
Elma Pazar
Former eyelash technician Elmaziye “Elma” Pazar was born in Hackney, London, but is based in Essex. In 2019, she made her Love Island debut on the show’s fifth season, joining as a bombshell on day 10 alongside Maura Higgins. While her time on the villa was short lived, Elma’s career in reality television was just beginning.
In 2022, she appeared in the 29th season of The Only Way Is Essex, and since then has become a regular on the show. Speaking on her return to the villa, the Cancer native expressed hope and positivity for a positive outcome, saying, “I want to have fun and I want to give it a proper go this time, my time was cut short the first time round and who knows, I could be the next Sophie (Piper) and Josh (Ritchie) or Molly (Smith) and Tom (Clare)!”
Ronnie Vint
Born in Greenwich, London, 28-year-old Ronnie Christopher Vint brings his sporty personality back to the Love Island villa. Currently playing as a centre-back for Ashford United, the semi-professional footballer is a Cancer native who is hoping for a second chance at finding true love. Having made his inaugural Love Island debut on the show’s 11th season in 2024, Ronnie is now set to make hearts flutter with his charm, athleticism, and his comely appearance.
Speaking on his return, he said, “I learnt so much from my experience last time. I left with Harriett and from the time we left, I thought it was going well, but obviously it ended.” He added, “In the Villa I was always in ‘triangles’ and what not, but I feel like I’ve grown up a lot since then. You have to wise up. So, not in a bad way to Harriett, but I’m in a good position to find someone now and move on.”
Scott Thomas
Born in Salford, Greater Manchester, 36-year-old club promoter Scott Alexander Thomas is a cast member of great interest in season 2 of Love Island All Stars. The Leo native, who boasts English, Indian, and Caribbean heritage, comes from a family of public figures. Notably, his twin brother is actor Adam Thomas, who appeared in Waterloo Road and Emmerdale, while his elder brother, actor Ryan Thomas, is known for his work on Coronation Street.
When he isn’t taking part in the reality television circuit, Scott makes appearances on daytime show Lorraine. He has also appeared as a guest on Big Star’s Bigger Star, This Morning, Hot Property: Celeb Edition, The Chris & Rosie Ramsey Show, and British talk show Loose Women. Scott made his Love Island debut on the show’s second season in 2016, and now returns to the villa for another shot at finding the one. Speaking on his return, he addressed his self-work on sobriety, personal growth, and self-development, sharing that he had been on a massive journey over the past five years. “When I first went into the villa, I was still a bit of a boy. I feel like I finally know who I am. It might sound cheesy, but I’m ready to settle down and I’ve never been open to saying those words. Where better than Love Island?”
India Reynolds
Born in Reading, Berkshire, 34-year-old India Reynolds Painter worked as a glamour model before her Love Island debut, appearing in magazines including Nuts, FHM, and Zoo. A former student at Thames Valley University, India has also appeared as The Sun’s Page 3 idol in 2009. The outgoing Sagittarian native’s first go at Love Island came in 2019, when she appeared on the show’s fifth season. India joined the villa on day 44 as a bombshell and finished in third place with Ovie Soko. Speaking on her return to the Love Island villa, India said, “I’ve been single for two and a half years and I think it’s time to settle down. I don’t put any effort into dating and I don’t really like meeting people from apps so I’m looking forward to getting to know people in the villa.”
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
If any cast member of Love Island radiates the 30, flirty, and thriving energy, it’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. Of British-Turkish heritage, the Islington-born islander has more than made a name for herself as a reality television star, actress, and model. Formerly a pageant contestant, the raven-haired beauty studied performing arts at the University of Lancashire before landing a role on Turkish soap Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk (2020). A fiery Leo native, Ekin-Su made her Love Island debut on the series’ eighth season, where she emerged first with Davide Sanclimenti.
