All Stars in fake row as Islanders ‘had group chat to discuss the show’ before the villa

The Islanders apparently discussed coupling up and game plans


Love Island All Stars might have only just begun, but already it’s being accused of being fake. ITV does its best to cast the Islanders and make sure they have no idea who they’ll be on the show with. However, it’s been claimed this definitely wasn’t the case this season.

According to reports, the Islanders knowing each other quickly became a problem ahead of the show. It seems constant leaks and rumours about who might be heading to the villa reached the Islanders, and they soon started chatting amongst themselves.

The rumoured Islanders then found out who was going to be on the show, and started chatting potential romances, and what they were going to be like in the villa.

A villa source told The Sun: “Whilst bosses make an effort to keep the line-up secret, the degree of separation between these Islanders is wafer-thin so everyone knew who was heading in.

“It naturally meant they were all chatting about it on Insta and then a casual group began where some of them talked about the show. It was all kept top secret but there’s been convos about who they fancy, what they might do in the villa and so on.”

It’s been claimed further than one of Ekin-Su’s friends reached out to fellow All Stars cast member, Scott Thomas. They wanted to know if Scott would fancy coupling up with her. Apparently the pal reached out to “see who fancied her” when they approached Scott, with the aim of giving her a “soft landing”.

ITV hasn’t commented on the apparent group chat, but has always said all efforts are made to make sure Islanders don’t know who will be on the show with them.

Yikes!
