Another rumoured contestant is season 11’s Grace Jackson.
Grace left the show hand in hand with Reuben Collins, but the pair called in quits shortly after leaving the show.

Tyrique Hyde

Tyrique Hyde from 2023 is another previous contestant who seems eager to make a comeback following his tumultuous, intermittent engagement with Ella.
In the series from 2023, Ty was portrayed as somewhat of a villain.
His relationship with Ella was full of drama, but the pair called it quits seven months after leaving the villa.
A source told The Sun: “Tyrique is in super early talks with ITV to return to All Stars. He was a huge fan favourite and he makes good TV but the real question is: Is he over Ella? They’ve been spotted out a few times since the split and ITV only want people who are on the show to find love.”

There are also rumours that India Reynolds from the 2019 series is in talks to return for Love Island All Stars.
In an interview, she stated that she is considering returning to the show.
Speaking to The Sun, India said: “I’m so on the fence, I’m a never say never person. I feel like I’m a little bit older now, when I did it it was five years ago now. I think I’d be a little bit different. I’ve been single for two years, I enjoy it…I haven’t really dated anyone seriously in that time.”
“As much as I would love to find someone, I can’t say I’ve been putting that much time into doing it. But maybe Love Island would be the right thing because then you’re shoved with a load of people.”
Sammy Root
