The All Stars show will be filmed in South Africa in a ‘luxury’ villa, although it has not been confirmed if it is the same £1.2million mansion nestled in the country’s wine-making region used for the winter series.
The boss of Love Island’s production company, Lifted Entertainment, admitted he ‘couldn’t wait’ for the spin-off as he teased viewers what’s in store.

‘It’s set to be a must-watch series seeing some of your favourite Islanders from across the years heading back to the stunning South African villa to once again “graft” as their search for love continues. I simply can’t wait.’
All Stars is not the only Love Island spin-off confirmed of late with Maya Jama poised to present an international version of the show on Peacock.
