Faye Winter reveals why she’d ‘love’ to make Love Island return – amid All Stars rumours
The Devon beauty first appeared on the hit dating show, and struck up a romance with Teddy Soares.
Faye and Teddy parted ways earlier this years, and while Faye is still single, Teddy has moved on with Australian model Casey Boonstra.
Now that Faye is single, she has been linked to the line-up for Love Island: All Stars, which is set to be filmed in South Africa early next year.
Speaking to The UK Sun, the Love Island star admitted: “I’ve grown up a lot. I think I’d really be quite beige if I went back. I’d miss my dog.”
“Love Island for me will always hold such a beautiful special place in my heart.”
“And I love everything about the show I love from production to the challenge team, like every part of it is amazing.”
“I don’t know where I stand in regards to potentially doing it again if I’m honest,” Faye continued.
“I feel like I’ve really said, like, I’m taking this year, and I actually really have done what I said I wanted to do.”
“I’ve concentrated on me, my mental well being, sort of developing me, setting my own goals and working towards them.”
“So I don’t know. I’d hate to say yes, but I’d hate to say no because I love the show.”
“If I didn’t do it, it would be for the right reasons and if I did do it, it would be for purely the right reasons,” Faye continued.
“I would love to say that I’d love to go back in there and show my really soft side.”
“Once you’re in, you’re in like I’m never letting you go.”
“You’re by my side, I think a lot of you and I will defend you to the bitter end. But until you’re in, I’m very wary.”

Faye explained: “That’s still very much a personality trait of mine that I do really struggle to allow new people into my life.”
“So I think I’m very lucky because I’ve done Love Island and then I came back to Devon. I haven’t really mingled in that love island crowd.”
“I would also love to say yeah, I’d be really soft, but actually, I’m still very loud. I’m still very outspoken. If I don’t agree with someone, I’m gonna have my opinion on it.”
“I haven’t changed in that respect. I’ve just changed in the respect of how to react to things and scenarios in my life.”
“I think this year has really helped me with that. I never used to have any patience,” she admitted.
“And this year, especially having like a puppy by myself, having to be able to, like, make sure that I’m planning, like where I am, where she is. It’s given me so much more of that to be able to work on my patience and work on.”
“I’ve always been very hot headed, and I’m not really as much now.”
“But then put in that high pressure situation, would I actually just go back to two years ago? I don’t think I would actually.”
Love Island: All Stars will see legendary Islanders from the past ten seasons of Love Island UK will each attempt to find love once again.
As they couple up and avoid being dumped from the island, relationships will be put to the test by bombshell entrances, but only one pair will be crowned the winners of Love Island: All Stars 2024.
A host of other Love Island contestants have been linked to the upcoming All Stars series.
Take a look:
Paige Thorne
Paige Thorne appeared on Love Island in 2022.
The Welsh paramedic was initially coupled up with rugby star Jacques O’Neill, before he dramatically left the villa.
She then struck up a romance with bombshell Adam Collard, and the pair narrowly missed out on a place in the final.
Shortly after leaving the villa, the former couple called it quits, after a video of Adam cosying up to a mystery blonde in McDonald’s went viral.
A source told The UK Sun: “Paige was a brilliant Islander, feisty and fiery in all the right measure and has remained popular on the outside despite a tricky run with a few bad boys.”
“She’s a Love Island legend with tons of fans so really deserves a place in the All Stars villa – it’s a great chance for her to show the public how far she has come.”
Chloe Burrows
Chloe Burrows appeared on Love Island back in 2021.
She placed runner-up alongside her then-boyfriend Toby Amorolaran.
The former couple split at the end of last year and since then, Chloe has appeared on Channel 4 dating show Celebs Go Dating.
According to The UK Sun, Chloe is top of bosses priority list for the upcoming All Stars series – which will air early next year.
An insider told the publication: “Ask fans of the show for their Love Island legends and Chloe Burrows name is always mentioned – viewers loved her with Toby but she’s one of the few who is just as popular as a single, too.”
“If anything, she is even more loved now than she was during her series’ time in the spotlight.”
“No one has been officially confirmed and signed for All Stars yet and as you can imagine, Chloe’s schedule is demanding but everyone hopes this works out as she’s considered one of the top priority signings.”
Joe Garratt
Joe appeared on Love Island back in 2019, and has been publicly single since his split from model Desiree Schlotz.
A source told The UK Sun: “Joe was a big part of his series, but his story was slightly dwarfed by the fact he was alongside such iconic characters as Molly-Mae and Maura.”
“But since leaving the villa he’s really carved a niche doing content for brands and remained at the heart of the show – he’s dubbed the ‘social rep’ because he literally knows everyone.”
Ovie Soko
Ovie Soko was a fan-favourite contestant on Love Island 2019.
The 32-year-old struck up a romance with India Reynolds, and the pair went on to place fourth.
The professional basketball player also had a notably close friendship with that year’s winner Amber Gill.

The former firefighter initially had a romance with that year’s winner Amber Gill; however, they parted ways after Casa Amor.
During Casa Amor, Michael struck up a romance with Joanna Chimonides, but it ended when he didn’t leave the villa with her when she was dumped.
A source told The UK Sun of Ovie and Michael: “Ovie and Michael emerged as the angel and devil of series five and both, for their own reasons, made tremendous TV.”
“Both remain seriously hot property with the ladies and Ovie especially is an icon among the Love Island fandom.”
“They’ll make amazing signings for All Stars if ITV are able to get their signing across the line.”

However, the couple parted ways in February 2020 – nine months after making their relationship Instagram official.
A source told The UK Sun of their “signing up” for Love Island: All Stars: “Producers are keen to get Kaz and Theo onto the programme because if there’s anything better than bringing back two old legends, it’s bringing back two legends with a bit of explosive history.”
