Secret historic All Star hook ups?! Plus Islander broke up with girlfriend to return to the villa

We’re back! Welcome to The Tab’s Love Island 2024 gossip round-up, bringing you the pettiest drama, most scandalous rumours and the least believable tabloid exclusives from around the web.

Ummm, apparently some of the All Stars cast have secretly hooked up before?

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but apparently loads of the All Stars cast have got together in the past and we’re none the wiser?! I mean, all the past Islanders know one another from events and things like that after the show, but for some it seems this has developed into more, and now they’re going to be living together 24/7!

Love Island executive producer Mike Spencer told The Sun: “Some of the stories I’ve heard about who’s got with who that hasn’t been in the press and very secret… I was like, ‘oh my God!’ They will all come out.

“There are hook-ups within this OG cast that no one knows about and we want all that to come out to play. It will all play out. And there are bombshells coming in that may have stories to tell too that will shake things up.”

ITV ‘wouldn’t say no to a throuple’ on All Stars…. sure!

ITV is apparently eyeing up the potential for a throuple on All Stars. Mike Spencer, executive producer of Love Island, told The Sun: “We won’t say no to a throuple. We’ll see what happens. I mean it would test the format a little bit. We’d have to switch it up, but I think it works as it is.”

Georgia H and Chris had ‘secret meetings’

Ahead of arriving in the villa, All Stars Islander Georgia Harrison was asked which boys from previous seasons are most her type, and who she’d love to be on the show with. “Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh,” she said. “What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!”

Well, she’s in luck, as he is part of the full cast too! As well as this, she’s revealed she and Chris have had a few secret meetings in the past, because they live nearby. In an interview from her holding villa in South Africa, she said: “Chris Taylor lives in Chigwell, right, and I bump into him often outside Starbucks. I think he’s really really funny, he’s a handsome boy.

“He’s 32, so he’s older, and he seems like someone that I definitely get along with on a friendship level. So maybe if he was to be in the villa, he would be someone that I’d be compatible with.”

Just wait until she finds out!

There’s going to be big drama when Georgia S and Luis hit the villa, as they too have history

Things could get a bit awkward for season one’s Luis when he sees who he’s in the villa with, because one of the girls is Georgia Steel… his ex girlfriend’s best friend. Luis left the show with Cally Jane Beach, and they share a child together, but later split. Since then, Cally and Georgia have become really close.

A source told The Sun: “Seeing Luis in the line-up will have been a shock to Georgia because of how close she is to Cally. She knows all the history and secrets between her and Luis that haven’t been made public and is now been put in an awkward position.

“Knowing Georgia, she’s most likely to confront Luis on the show about his bad behaviour, but it could be easily cut out by Love Island bosses to protect Luis.” I need to know what’s gone on here?!

Love Island producers are secretly hoping Liberty and Jake reunite

Producers have said they’re “secretly hoping” for Liberty and Jake to get back together on All Stars, and that’s why they cast the Islander exes together.

Speaking to The Sun about the possibility, executive producer Mike Spencer said: “I secretly hope so, I think it would be good. It would be good to see how they interact. That’s what I’m excited to see, whether they pick up from where they left off. I don’t think they’ve seen each other.”

But, Abi has said there’s no chance Lib and Jake will get back together on All Stars

We might all be hoping drama and a lil bit of love might be on the cards with 2021 exes Liberty and Jake being reunited in the villa once again, but Abi Rawlings, who was in the villa with them and has remained friends with Liberty since, has said there’s no chance.

She said “the ship has sailed” between them two, and added in an interview with The Sun: “Lib is so mature, she’s so wised up, she’s worked on herself so much. I don’t think there will be arguments. I might be wrong, personally I don’t think she would entertain him again.”

However she said if her friend does decide to get back with Jake, she’ll support her. “He really did hurt her and I think that ship has sailed,” Abi added. “I might be wrong and personally I hope it has. I’m just being a protective mate. But if they manage to work it out and fall in love again I will support her, but personally I think there will be the perfect man waiting for her on there.”

Anton secretly split up with girlfriend just before All Stars

Yikes! It’s been reported Anton “secretly split” from his girlfriend just before he was announced as part of the cast of Love Island: All Stars. In 2022, he shared he was dating nurse and fitness coach, Dominika Blunska. He recently posted about turning 28 and thanked “this one” for making the last few months “the best of his life” before adding “here’s to many more.”

Fast forward a couple of months and they’ve split, and he’s jetting off to South Africa. Messy!!!

Loads of bombshells have already been rumoured

The show hasn’t even started yet, but already a full list of potential bombshells is with us. A few Islanders from previous seasons have apparently been “lined-up” by ITV to enter the villa later on, and these include names such as Danica Taylor, Tom Clare and the Gale twins.

As well as this, ITV has apparently tried to bag broken up couple Callum Jones and Molly Smith for the villa. See the list of potential bombshells here, and all the exes ITV is hot to secure here.
