"Confirmed: Love Island: All Stars starts Monday 15 January, 9pm simulcast on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX," the tweet read.
A trailer for All Stars aired during the final of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in December and saw Jama getting all glammed up, ready to face the camera.
Frank Sinatra's The Second Time Around could be heard playing, which features the lyrics: "Love is lovelier the second time around, just as wonderful with both feet on the ground," hinting at what viewers can expect as the returning islanders head back to the villa.Referencing the show's infamous loyalty test, Jama then teased: "For the first time, we're bringing back all star Islanders for a second chance at love, the question is who will be back for Amor."
The line-up is yet to be announced, but Love Island 2019 contestant Ovie Soko, Paige Thorne from the 2022 series, and Georgia Steel, who found fame on the 2018 season, are all reportedly taking part.
