Meet the Cast Heading Back to the Villa for Love Island: All Stars Season 2
The Villa veterans are hoping for a second chance at romance.
The anticipated return of Love Island: All Stars is finally here, bringing a fresh round of romance, love triangles, and of course, plenty of extreme chaos! Starting on January 15 on Peacock, 12 former UK Islanders will be heading to a South African villa to spend the winter searching for that elusive thing called love... again.
Among those returning to the villa are heavy hitters from past seasons and a few who left within weeks or even days. But all the contestants share one thing in common: high hopes for making a lasting connection.
Here’s a look at the 12 Love Islanders in the initial cast of Love Island: All Stars Season 2.
Catherine Agbaje
The 24-year-old wears many hats: social media personality, commercial real estate agent, and a Love Islander from Season 10. Abaje was finishing up a master’s degree in real estate when she put her life on hold for the villa. After the show ended, she officially graduated from the University of Greenwich in 2024 and has since launched a YouTube channel with beauty tutorials.
Curtis Pritchard
By the time Curtis Pritchard landed on Love Island Season 5, UK viewers already knew he had some moves. The professional ballroom dancer had competed in Ireland’s version of Dancing with the Stars. After his stint on the Island, he became the receptionist in Simon Cowell’s BBC competition series, The Greatest Dancer. Talent runs in the family: His older brother A.J. Pritchard, was a Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist.
Elma Pazar
Elma Pazar’s time on Love Island was sweet but short: she was in the villa for six days before leaving in 2019’s Season 5. She then jumped to another reality TV series in 2022, The Only Way Is Essex (Towie), all while keeping her demanding day job. The 32-year-old is a beauty technician who runs a successful eyelash extension business.
Gabby Allen
Personal trainer Gabby Allen, 32, will come face-to-face with ex-boyfriend Marcel Somerville in All Stars, and fans are rooting for the couple to rekindle a romance. The two stayed together for about a year after Season 3 ended until he admitted to cheating while on vacation. After the heartbreak, Gabby, 32, bounced back in peak form, turning her fitness business into a mini-empire with one million Instagram followers.
Marcel Somerville
Before his adventures on Love Island in 2017, Marcel Somerville, 39, was best known as a member of hip-hop group Blazin’ Squad. After the breakup with Allen, the British rapper got married in 2022 and welcomed a son, Roman, but the soon-to-be divorcee is looking for love once again. At 39, he’s the oldest contestant to ever be on the show.
India Reynolds
Islander India Reynolds hails from Reading, England, and modeled for more than a decade before joining Season 5. After coming in third on Love Island in 2019, she and her beau, Ovie Soko stayed together for three more months before splitting. Since then, Reynolds has kept a low profile — and a lid on her love life.
Kaz Crossley
One of Season 4’s most memorable players, Kaz Crossley, left the villa with boyfriend Josh Denzel and later struck up a romance with fellow Islander Theo Campbell (Season 3), though the two were not on the show at the same time.
Luca Bish
After appearing on Love Island Season 8, the former fishmonger, 23, returned to his culinary roots. Luca Bish was the youngest contestant to compete on Celebrity MasterChef and made it all the way to the Final, taking second place. That same year, he appeared on Britain Get Singing and is now returning to the Villa with a lot more experience under his belt.
Nas Majeed
Nas Majeed had a bumpy time in Season 6 but finally found a genuine connection with Eva Zapico at Casa Amor, only to be voted off four days later. Turns out, the couple dated for almost four years, making them one of the show’s biggest successes. The 28-year-old became a presenter for LADBible and Sky Mobile, but he is now single and back in the Love Island fold.
Olivia Hawkins
The British model, 28, had been in Bond films with Daniel Craig but reportedly had never been in a relationship before joining Season 11 of Love Island. Her intriguing resume includes “ring girl” for YouTuber and boxer KSI, a bit part as a waitress in No Time to Die, and a body double for Michelle Keegan and Emma Watson.
Ronnie Vint
The semi-professional soccer player from East Sound London is hoping to score again on All-Stars after getting dumped on day 26 with bombshell Tiffany Leighton in Season 11. Since leaving the show in July 2024, he’s launched an events company, Eggi Boff, which has hosted charity matches for causes close to his heart.
Scott Thomas
This Villa veteran appeared in the second-ever season and came back nine years later thanks to encouragement from his brothers, British actors Ryan Thomas (Coronation Street) and Adam Thomas (Waterloo Road). "My brothers are so supportive of me, Adam was the one who really talked me into doing it," he told the Mirror. "We were proud of you the first time, but the new Scott deserves a chance to show off all the work I’ve done on myself,” said the 36-year-old, referencing his sobriety journey, which he often posted about on Instagram.
Love Island: All Stars premieres will premiere on Peacock on Wednesday, January 15.
