The Last Twist Before the Final: Belle and Harrison Dumped
Not before one last dramatic twist shook up the race for the £50,000 prize. The night before the finale, previously dumped Islanders made a shock return, handing them the power to decide which couple they believed was the least compatible. Brutal honesty was the theme of the night, with relationships picked apart around the firepit before Harrison and Belle were ultimately shown the exit door.
Love Island All Stars 2026: A Season to Remember
Love Island All Stars 2026 was certainly one for the history books, with the introduction of multiple American bombshells. Partway through the series, six US bombshells arrived in "Villa USA." Two of those US bombshells — Yamen and Zac — made it to the final. This comes after the first-ever US bombshell, Toni Laites, won series 12 in 2025.
The series ran from its premiere on January 15, marking almost six weeks of drama-filled reality TV. Viewers saw fallouts, resolutions, and screaming matches all season long.
The Season's Biggest Storylines
The series was packed with controversy and emotional moments throughout its run. Key talking points included Lucinda Strafford's "sugar daddy" claims and questions about whether she had a boyfriend on the outside, Harrison Solomon's rocky history with the 2025 summer series winner Toni Laites, and Millie Court's return following her shock split from season 7 winner Liam Reardon after four years together.
Last year's All Stars were won by Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman with 33.37% of the vote, in close second were Grace Jackson and Luca Bish with 30.38%. This year, Samie and Ciaran defied the bookies — who had Scott and Leanne as pre-final favourites — to claim the crown in a result that surprised many fans right until the very end.
