Chaos is set to erupt in the Love Island: All Stars villa as producers unleash three new bombshells with a clear mission to disrupt the couples. The ITV2 show, which finally launched after a delay caused by wildfires in South Africa, is welcoming Samie Elishi, AJ Bunker, and Konnor Ewudzi.
Meet the New Bombshells Ready for Love
The trio are all returning for another shot at romance under the sun, each with a history on the show. Samie Elishi, an original Islander from the 2023 series where she finished in third place, is back for her third attempt. She briefly appeared on All Stars in January 2025 but was dumped after just five days.
Joining her is AJ Bunker, who first found fame during the show's seventh series in 2021. Since her early exit, she has forged a successful career as a professional boxer in the featherweight division. Konnor Ewudzi, a rugby player, debuted in 2024 but struggled to find a lasting connection, ultimately being dumped after a public vote.
A Tactical Move to Ruffle Feathers
According to a source speaking to The Sun, the casting is a deliberate strategy. "As always, bombshell casting is tactical and these three are on a mission to shake up the villa with certain Islanders in mind," they revealed. The insider added that all three deserve a proper chance at love after their previous tricky experiences on the show.
The bombshells follow the arrival of the first new entrant, Scott-Van-der-Sluis. Their introduction comes as fans are already gripped by the star-studded spin-off, which made history by airing a special Saturday episode.
Past Histories and New Beginnings
Samie's past includes a short-lived romance with Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson after the show and a shock split from her 2023 partner, Tom Clare, just months after leaving the villa. AJ's original stint was brief, entering on Day 17 and being dumped on Day 23 before turning to boxing.
Konnor's 2024 journey was particularly turbulent; he stole Grace Jackson from Joey Essex, ended up in a friendship couple, was chosen by Emma Milton in Casa Amor only to be dumped by her, and was finally voted off with bombshell Lolly Hart. The new arrivals are determined to write a different story this time around, promising plenty of drama for viewers.
