Love Island All Stars in Crisis as Five Bombshells Quit Over Brutal Fallouts
Love Island All Stars 2026 is reportedly in a state of chaos behind the scenes, with five bombshells pulling out of the show due to the intensely tense atmosphere inside the villa. According to sources, the frosty environment and explosive arguments have become too overwhelming for these contestants, who were lined up to enter the dating show in the coming days.
Explosive Arguments and Divided Friendship Groups
Friction has been building among the Islanders in recent weeks, with heated disagreements breaking out almost every night. Lucinda Strafford has notably fallen out with Belle Hassan, Samie Elishi, and Jessy Potts in a series of screaming matches. Her devoted partner, Sean Stone, has been fighting her corner, leading to further heated disputes on his end.
While viewers have been lapping up the juicy drama, it has proven too much for a handful of ITV bombshells. They have expressed reluctance to face the negative atmosphere in the villa, with some even calling it quits before stepping foot inside.
Bombshells Jet Back Home to Protect Their Peace
Put off by the explosive fights and divided friendship groups, several future Islanders waiting in a holding villa in South Africa have now jetted back home to protect their peace. An insider told The Sun that the chaos, dominated by just two women getting all the headlines, makes it hard for last-minute bombshells to enter and form connections so close to the end of the series.
The source explained, "They’re not going to stand a chance really getting a connection with someone so close to the end, and it’s unlikely they will get any real airtime with all of this kick off between Belle and Lucinda."
Potential Candidates Refuse to Join Due to On-Screen Drama
The insider also revealed that some potential candidates considered signing up for series three but flatly refused after watching the recent arguments unfold on TV. One bombshell was asked to fly to South Africa to enter the villa but turned it down because of all the drama.
"It’s a headache for ITV but luckily, they have so many on standby they do have options. But it’s difficult when the people they want to send in have turned around and refused," the source added.
Olivia Hawkins Among Those Who Flipped Their Decision
One of the bombshells who changed her mind at the last minute was series nine Islander Olivia Hawkins, who also appeared in season two of All Stars in 2025. After making the call to drop out, the 30-year-old singleton told The Sun, "There were talks about it, but from my side, it’s just I did it last time, I’ve just done Celebs Go Dating. I’d like to do something else now. So it just wasn’t the right timing."
As the countdown to the finale looms, fans are bracing themselves for serious twists and turns, wondering who will enter the villa during the last few weeks of the series amidst this ongoing crisis.
