Love Island UK All-Stars Season 2: Cast’s Memorable Moments

We’ve got a text — Love Island U.K. is back with another “All-Stars” season starring even more fan-favorite contestants.

Love Island, a British staple before crossing the pond for respective American and Australian spinoffs, houses a group of singletons in a luxury villa with the sole purpose of coupling up or getting dumped from the island.

The first season of All-Stars, which aired in 2024, saw two couples find love. Molly Smith and Tom Clare, who went on to win the cash prize, as well as Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie are both still going strong to this day.

Whether any of the season 2 All-Stars — including a pair of exes! — will find a true connection or if bombshells will steal the show remains to be seen when episodes kick off Monday, January 13.

Keep scrolling to revisit each season 2 participant’s most memorable moments from their original show journeys:

Scott Thomas

OG Season: 2

Most Memorable Moment: Scott and Kady McDermott’s relationship was a major story line during the second season. Despite heated fights, Scott and Kady always ended up reconciling — capped off with him spelling out “Be My GF” in towels on the pool deck.

Marcel Somerville

OG Season: 3

Most Memorable Moment: In case you didn’t know (or missed one of the tens of references on his OG season), Marcel used to be a member of ‘90s rap group Blazin’ Squad. Once his fellow islanders caught wind of Marcel’s past profession, he wasted no time performing for the crew on multiple occasions. (For a refresher, just look up his rendition of “Little Bit Leave It” with Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes.)

Gabby Allen

OG Season: 3

Most Memorable Moment: Marcel was unlucky in love for the first few weeks of season 3 until Gabby entered the villa as a bombshell. They quickly coupled up, eventually falling in love and making it to the finale. The pair, however, split several months after the show ended following infidelity on Marcel’s part. (He admitted to cheating and making a “mistake” in an interview at the time.) Seeing these two back in the villa again is sure to raise eyebrows.

Kaz Crossley

OG Season: 4

Most Memorable Moment: Kaz made a splash during Casa Amor, turning Josh Denzel’s head while he was paired up with Georgia Steele. While Georgia stayed loyal throughout the test, Josh recoupled with Kaz because they had a “special” connection. Josh and Kaz even made it to the finale, but their relationship wasn’t sustainable after leaving Spain.

Curtis Pritchard

OG Season: 5, Love Island Games

Most Memorable Moment: The ballroom dancer hit it off with Amy Hart early on in the villa until Casa Amor turned his head. He wanted to recouple with Jourdan Riane, who didn’t feel the same, so he stuck with Amy. During the recouping ceremony, he told Amy about his conflicting feelings, prompting an argument that led to their breakup.

“In the morning, if someone likes you, they want to have a cuddle in the bed with you in the morning,” Amy said at the time.

Curtis replied that he also wants “to be the person who gets up and makes everyone a coffee so everyone’s ready for the morning,” eventually becoming a viral meme.

India Reynolds

OG Season: 5

Most Memorable Moment: While late arrival India was coupled up with Ovie Soko, she was also involved in a love triangle with Jordan Hames. Jordan confessed his feelings for India just hours after he asked Anna Vakili to be his girlfriend. Of course, India didn’t feel the same about Jordan and Anna didn’t want to be his second choice, so he went home single.

Elma Pazar

OG Season: 5

Most Memorable Moment: Elma was only in the villa for one week, best known for coupling up with Anton Danyluk. She was dumped, while he remained and later found a connection with now-ex Belle Hassan.

Nas Majeed

OG Season: 6

Most Memorable Moment: Nas failed to “trust in his sauce” (an expression coined by costar and friend Shaughna Phillips) during the first winter season of Love Island until Demi Jones entered as a bombshell. They seemed like a perfect match to fans until he met Eva Zapico in Casa, subsequently blindsiding Demi when she returned solo. Nas and Eva dated for four years outside of the villa, breaking up in 2024.

Luca Bish

OG Season: 8

Most Memorable Moment: Luca hit it off with Gemma Owen from Day 1 of their original season. They only lasted three months back in the real world.

Olivia Hawkins

OG Season: 9

Most Memorable Moment: Olivia appeared on the second winter version of Love Island U.K., where she failed to find a lasting connection until meeting Maxwell Samuda in Casa. While they tried to transition their romance outside of the villa after being dumped, they split within months.

Catherine Agbaje

OG Season: 10

Most Memorable Moment: Catherine seemed to find her match in Scott Van-Der-Sluis until Casa turned her head. She returned to the villa with Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, but they were dumped the next day.

Ronnie Vint

OG Season: 11

Most Memorable Moment: Ronnie was in a love triangle with Jess White and Harriett Blackmore and often found it difficult to pick a frontrunner. After Jess eventually took herself out of the geometric equation, the soccer player continued to pursue Harriett. They split in fall 2024.
