Love Island All Stars 2026: Dumped Islanders Return to Deliver Bombshells
As love island all stars 2026 builds to its final, former Islanders made a surprise comeback to the villa on Friday night (February 20) to cast a decisive vote. Another couple will be booted out of the villa tomorrow night, and the duo who receive the most votes will face eviction and miss the Monday (February 23) grand finale.
Former Islanders re-enter garden
Ex-Islanders Shaq, AJ, Curtis, Kyra, Jess, Charlie, Jack, Helena, Carrington, Sher, Tommy, Jessy, and Imani re-entered the garden in the latest episode, poised to cast their votes. As part of the brutal vote ahead of the final, all of this year's previous Islanders have been lined up to reunite with their current co-stars for one final game.
Who remains in the running
The couples still in the running are Scott and Leanne; Harrison and Belle; Sean and Lucinda; Samie and Ciaran; Yamen and Whitney; and Millie and Zac. Viewers were told they will not discover who has been ousted from the villa until Sunday night (February 22), but speculation began immediately after the returning castmates arrived.
Fans name likely ousted pair
Fans quickly shared theories online, with one user posting: "It's giving Sean and Lucinda. " Another wrote: "They really dumped Sean, and Lucinda didn't, did they?" A third speculated: "It's probably Lucinda and Sean then. Harrison, Zac, and Yamen have only been in one couple, not multiple. Scott and Leanne have only been in 1 other couple, not multiple. " These social reactions fed a narrative that Lucinda and Sean were in trouble.
Returnees expected to expose contestant
High-level drama was flagged for one All Star after reports that at least two dumped Islanders planned to share outside-world gossip and "drop some truth bombs". A showbiz source said: "All the axed Islanders are coming back for a final vote at the fire pit. Now in past years, this has been absolutely crazy. Do you remember when Liv Hawkins came back last year and she said that she’d seen some receipts of Grace having a game plan? Well I have heard that a couple of Islanders this year are planning to drop some truth bombs as part of it, potentially exposing Harrison. We had [his ex] Lauren Wood on last week and she was explaining the seriousness of their relationship. "
Harrison, Lauren and dating context
Producers and viewers have been alert to the potential spotlight on Harrison Solomon. Lauren Wood, who only split from the footballer in November 2025, admitted she found the series really hard to watch. In a series of Snapchat videos, she explained they had only split two months before he entered the villa and were still "speaking constantly. " The 'tamed' playboy is currently dating Belle Hassan, after she failed to snatch Scott van-der-Sluis from her friend Leanne Amaning in a series of flirty conversations. At the moment, they seem to be in a positive place, though returning Islanders planning revelations could change that.
Lucinda and Sean under scrutiny
Sean was an original Islander, but Lucinda Strafford entered the series as an unexpected bombshell. The pair took time to ignite a connection: Lucinda initially explored her romances with Ciaran and Tommy. A report said the evicted couple "is made up of an OG and a bombshell and have been in a number of couplings during their time in the villa, " a description fans felt most accurately described Lucinda and Sean. Lucinda has also been flagged as a potential gossip target after outside rumours claimed she actually had a boyfriend off-camera; she has just gone official with partner Sean Stone.
Belle's family hints at finale place
Others predicted that Harrison and Belle might be at risk, but Belle's dad shared an unofficial spoiler suggesting she is through to the final. The actor reposted a story on his Instagram on Thursday (February 19) that read: "Celebrating my goddaughter getting in the final... whoops, have I let out a secret. "
With ex-Islanders back in the garden and at least two axed castmates said to be ready to spill fresh information from the outside, viewers can expect the vote and any revelations to shape which couple is the last to be dumped before Monday's grand finale. The love island all stars 2026 vote will determine who faces eviction and who can continue to the closing night.
Unclear in the provided context: any further details about what the returning Islanders will specifically reveal, the identities of the two who plan to expose an All Star, and which couple will ultimately leave the villa.
