The search for love is back on as Love Island All Stars 2026 returns to screens, featuring a fresh lineup of fan favourites from seasons past. This third All Stars season promises more drama and romance, with a cast whose ages span from 22 to 31, making it a notably younger group than previous years.
Meet the All Stars 2026 Lineup
The confirmed cast for the new season brings together iconic islanders from across the show's history. The full list of contestants and their current ages is as follows:
- Tommy Bradley - 22
- Ciaran Davies - 23
- Jess Harding - 25
- Jack Keating - 26
- Sean Stone - 26
- Belle Hassan - 27
- Shaq Muhammad - 27
- Leanne Amaning - 28
- Whitney Adebayo - 28
- Helena Ford - 29
- Millie Court - 29
- Charlie Frederick - 31
This marks a shift from the 2025 All Stars series, which featured older contestants like Scott Thomas (36) and Marcel Somerville (39). The 2026 cohort is ready for a second chance at finding love in the South African villa.
Youngest and Oldest Islanders in the Villa
Holding the title of the youngest All Star is Tommy Bradley, who is currently 22. He originally appeared on season 12 just over six months ago, so his age has barely changed since his first villa experience. His initial journey ended after a brief coupling with Lucy Quinn in Casa Amor.
At the other end of the spectrum is Charlie Frederick, the oldest contestant at 31. He first entered the Love Island villa eight years ago during season 4, where his stay lasted a mere five days. Now, he promises viewers will see a "massive difference" in him thanks to significant personal growth.
Islanders Reflect on Growth and New Beginnings
Many contestants are returning with renewed confidence and different perspectives. Season 10 winner Jess Harding, now 25, has stated she is ready to show she is no longer a "pushover" after her split from Sammy Roots.
Leanne Amaning, who was dumped early from the first winter series in 2020, returns at 28, feeling "older and wiser". Similarly, season 7 winner Millie Court says she is "more confident this time" compared to her original stint five years ago at age 24.
Shaq Muhammad, 27, has revealed a new strategy for his All Stars journey, vowing not to "close himself off with someone so early" and to fully immerse himself in the experience. Meanwhile, Jack Keating, now a 26-year-old father, humorously describes his return as a "revenge tour" to finish unfinished business after only four days in the villa back in 2022.
With a mix of winners, finalists, and early exits, Love Island All Stars 2026 is set to deliver a compelling new chapter as these familiar faces pursue romance once more.
