Love Island: All Stars is reportedly set to make a sensational return in 2027 — despite being hit with more than 11,000 complaints over its drama-fuelled latest series.
The ITV spin-off was plagued by bitter bust-ups and explosive rows, leaving viewers divided over the level of on-screen conflict.
And the controversy didn’t stop there, as the winning couple Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies shocked fans by calling time on their romance just 15 days after leaving the villa — marking one of the fastest breakups in the show’s history.
Meanwhile presenter Maya Jama, 31, will reportedly not officially sign on as host of the All Stars offshoot until autumn, after contract negotiations – although she will host the main series for ITV2 this summer as per usual.
The All Stars spinoff was streamed over 80million times, with the largest 16-34 audience of any programme on a commercial channel.
Yet in January, an explosive argument between Islanders Belle Hassan and Lucinda Strafford earned more than 11,000 Ofcom complaints for alleged ‘bullying’.

Adding up, winners Samie and Ciaran shockingly broke up after just 15 days from the finale – putting the show’s fate in doubt.
‘Any of the couples splitting quickly is bad for the brand, never mind the winners,’ ITV bosses told The Sun.
‘This year’s All Stars had already been characterised as a series with more rowing than romance, but Samie and Ciaran’s break-up just compounds all that.
‘It makes it more like Big Brother in bikinis than Love Island — and no channel needs two BBs.’
Daily Mail has contacted ITV representatives for a comment.
Just on Thursday, Samie confirmed her blossoming romance with fellow Islander Tyrique Hyde as they shared loved-up snaps on their first holiday together in Morocco.
The new couple landed in Agadir, Morocco, on Wednesday, where they are spending some quality time together and are testing their new connection.
In February, Samie, 26, won Love Island: All Stars series three with Ciaran, 23, but the pair split just three weeks after winning the £50,000 prize money.
The influencer, who first appeared on the ninth season of Love Island in 2023, has since been growing close to fellow alum Tyrique, 26, from season ten.
Now the new couple have shared a glimpse into their relationship as they enjoyed going on a jet ski ride during their sun-soaked getaway.

Just hours before their flight to Morocco, Samie celebrated becoming W7 Cosmetics’ new brand ambassador with a private dinner at The Ivy Asia in London, and told the intimate group about her holiday plans.
One source told the Daily Mail: ‘Samie was very excited for the trip and told the group about their plans. Everything is falling into place for her with work and her love life.
‘She isn’t listening to outside noise about her new connection and is just seeing where it goes.’
Tyrique initially found love with Ella Thomas when they competed on the tenth series of the hit ITV2 dating competition, but they split up in early 2024.
In recent weeks, Samie has been on a string of dates with Tyrique, with their romance ‘blossoming’ more every day.
Tyrique is said to be ‘mad about her’ and thrilled to have finally got Samie after publicly pursuing her online.
Long before rumours of their romance surfaced, the streamer had made no secret of his attraction.
In an online clip just months before Samie entered the villa, when asked hypothetically who he would most like to share a bed with, Tyrique didn’t hesitate: ‘Samie, she’s very good looking.’
Then, days before the latest All Stars season started, he admitted: ‘I rate Samie. She’s a good-looking girl. I’ve seen her in real life and I have been around her at events and she is so cool.’
