Surprise!\u00a0Bosses have revealed that the spin-off series will hit screens in the New Year with famed former stars heading back to the villa (host Maya Jama is pictured)<\/p>\n
This year’s final was the most watched programme for 16-34s on any channel and the series garnered 1.4 billion video views across all platforms, 56+ million likes on official Love Island content and over 1 million comments generated on all official Love Island content.<\/p>\n
MailOnline exclusively revealed plans for the new All Stars series back in July, after it emerged bosses had axed Love Island’s winter series due to low ratings.<\/p>\n
ITV bosses had hoped Maya Jama would pull back plummeting ratings from the winter series but despite the presenter’s popularity, the show filmed in South Africa failed to resonate with viewers on the same scale as it does during the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2020, the first winter series aired but it was cancelled until this year when Maya took over the helm from former presenter Laura Whitmore.<\/p>\n
A source revealed: ‘The winter series of Love Island has been axed for a second time\u2026 viewers just aren’t interested in watching the show twice a year.<\/p>\n
‘It will be replaced by a brand new All Stars series, which will feature former Islanders who are still looking for love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It’s back! The All Stars series will be filmed in South Africa, where the winter series took place, and is set to hit screens on ITV2 in the New Year<\/p>\n
‘In terms of iconic Love Island stars who are now happily married including the likes of Olivia Attwood, producers are looking into cameo appearances so that they still involve fan favourites from the years gone by.’<\/p>\n
Megan Barton-Hanson, 29, who rose to fame on the 2018 series, is believed to be taking part while Georgia Steel, 25, known for her catchphrase ‘I’m loyal’, is also high on the wish list.<\/p>\n
Maura Higgins, 32, star of the 2019 series, was approached but has ruled herself due to now being in a relationship with Hollywood stunt double Bobby Holland Hanton.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said this month: ‘I\u00a0can’t see myself ever doing that again, no. I’ve been asked, but I’ve said no. I just think, I’ve done it once, I’ve had my time on Love Island. I don’t really want to go back in time, I want to look to the future.’<\/p>\n
