Did this 2024 Love Islander just dump her footballer boyfriend to join All Stars?!

She did it to ‘maximise the exposure to help with her modelling work’


Gals, another iconic 2024 Love Islander is tipped to join the villa for Love Island: All Stars in January. I’m shaking.

It was rumoured last month that Grace Jackson was in talks to appear on Love Island: All Stars 2025.  Someone spokesperson told The Sun: “Grace has been approached for All Stars and we are considering all options at the moment.” Then it looked like she’d been secretly dating the footballer Marcus Rashford for months, so wouldn’t be eligible to look for love on All Stars? It was a deeply confusing time.

Now, it’s been reported that Grace Jackson has dumped her boyfriend Marcus Rashford “to maximise the exposure to help with her modelling work and net campaign deals”.

A source told The Sun, “Grace realised that Marcus wasn’t serious about her and has unfollowed him on Instagram. She realised there was no future so she has decided to cut ties.

“When the opportunity arose to take part in Love Island All Stars this winter Grace jumped at the chance, she is still young in her career and is keen to maximise the exposure to help with her modelling work and net campaign deals.

“If she finds love on the show that’s a bonus, especially since she didn’t meet a suitable match in the summer. As far as she is concerned it’s Marcus’ loss, she is putting her best foot forward and can’t wait to enjoy some winter sun in gloomy January.”

What a deeply iconic move to dump an ultra-famous footballer because you fancied some “winter sun in gloomy January”.

Remember – ITV hasn’t officially confirmed the full cast for Love Island: All Stars 2025 yet. A spokesperson clarified to The Sun, “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”

Grace’s time in the villa this year did not end super well. She grafted with Joey Essex, but ended up with the footballer Reuben. They split up only a few weeks after the show. Maybe things will work out better for this Love Islander on All Stars than they did in 2024?

Marcus Rashford does not seem to be having a great week. He keeps being left out of the Manchester United squad, and he’s considering leaving the club. Thoughts and prayers.

If Grace does head to South Africa for All Stars, she’ll be causing chaos alongside other vibey Islanders including Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Gemma Owen and Paige Thorne. Can’t wait.
