ITV's Love Island All Stars is gearing up for a dramatic new series with the confirmed signing of Clarisse Juliette, the former girlfriend of Premier League footballer Alex Iwobi. The show is scheduled to launch on January 12, 2025.
From Footballer's Partner to Villa Star
Clarisse Juliette, a half-French, half-Guyanese model and jewellery business owner, previously dated Aston Villa and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi for four years before her first appearance on Love Island in 2021. She has also been romantically linked to Justin Combs, the son of rapper P Diddy.
Prior to entering the villa originally, she cultivated a lavish lifestyle as a blogger and director of jewellery brand Chaleur, amassing over 240,000 Instagram followers with posts from luxury holidays and five-star resorts like the Château de la Chèvre d'Or in the South of France.
A History of Villa Drama and Defiance
Juliette's initial stint in the Love Island villa was brief but memorable. She found herself at the centre of a love triangle with fellow Islanders Tyler Cruickshank and Kaz Kamwi, which ultimately led to her being voted off.
Her time was also marked by a notable act of rebellion during a dumping ceremony. After a heated discussion with Tyler, she defiantly removed her high heels and stormed off in bare feet, later returning to the ceremony wearing a pair of sliders. Fellow Islander Kaz Kamwi celebrated the move on social media at the time, calling it a whole mood.
Furthermore, she was involved in earlier drama when Teddy Soares admitted to finding her attractive while in Casa Amor, despite being paired with Faye Winter.
All Stars Line-Up Heats Up
A source told The Sun: "Clarisse Juliette wasn’t in the villa long originally but she made quite the impact. Bosses have been waiting for the right time to bring her back and think she could really ruffle feathers in All Stars."
She is not the only big name linked to the upcoming series. Reports suggest footballer Scott van‑der‑Sluis is in advanced talks to enter the villa. Former Islanders Lucy Quinn (series 12), Belle Hassan (2019), and Millie Court (2021) are also strongly tipped to return for the All Stars edition, which is already one of the most anticipated TV events of the new year.
Juliette's entrance is reportedly confirmed, with her introductory video already filmed, setting the stage for what promises to be a highly explosive series.
