Who is in Love Island All Stars?

It is quite the explosive line-up with a host of former favourites, including former couples making up the cast of the very first Love Island All Stars.

Cast members include; Hannah Elizabeth who is the first and only person to be proposed to during the show (in series one to Jon Clark), Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish who left their series after a dramatic break-up with one another, as well as Demi Jones, Georgia Steel, Toby Aromolaran, Chris Taylor and many others.

'Bombshell' cast members are expected to join as the show progresses.

What happened on Love Island All Stars last night?

The Islanders were let into the villa for the first time to see which contestants would be entering the show alongside them. Liberty Poole was the first to enter as she walked hand in hand with Hannah Elizabeth. However, she got the biggest shock when her season seven ex Jake Cornish becoming one of the first boys to enter the house.

The girls were then asked to stand beside the boy they fancied the most, leaving Barbie star Chris Taylor with three women - and Jake and Toby with zero. However, Georgia Steel caused a little storm when she picked Anton Danyluk over Toby Aromolaran as it become apparent that Georgia Steel and Toby were already having a little fling in the outside world.

The Islanders then discovered they had no choice in who they were coupling up with and in was in fact the viewers vote - which of course meant Jake and Liberty were coupled up. However, the biggest surprise was yet to come as Callum Jones was introduced to the villa and told he could choose the girl of his choice to couple up with only for the villa to then be introduced to Molly Smith - his recent ex-girlfriend who he met during the show.

The show ended on a cliff-hanger as we await to see is Callum will try and rekindle his love with Molly by choosing her to couple up with.

Love Island All Stars continues tonight on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm.
