History

Development

In August 2023, after ITV had aired two series of Love Island in the same year for the first time, it was reported that the winter series had been axed for 2024 and that an "All Stars" version was set to serve as its replacement. [2] Several rumours of an "All Stars" series being in development had been reported in various news outlets. [3] In September 2023, the commissioning of Love Island: All Stars was officially announced by ITV. [4] [5] The show was filmed in the same villa as the ninth series in Franschhoek, South Africa and featured a line-up consisting of former contestants from the previous ten series. [6] [7] The programme has included returning contestants before, with Adam Collard, who was a contestant on the fourth series and Kady McDermott who was a contestant on the second series returning as "bombshells" in the eighth and tenth series of the show respectively. [8] [9] This series is the first to feature a line-up consisting of only returning contestants. [10] [11]

Format

Love Island involves a group of contestants, referred to as Islanders, living in isolation from the outside world in a villa in Mallorca, constantly under video surveillance. [12] To survive in the villa the Islanders must be coupled up with another Islander, whether it be for love, friendship, or money, and the overall winning couple receives a combined £50,000. On the first day, the Islanders couple up for the first time based on first impressions, but over the duration of the series they are forced to "re-couple" where they can choose to remain in their current couple or swap partners. [13]

Any Islander who remains single after the re-coupling is eliminated and dumped from the island. Islanders can also be eliminated via public vote, as during the series the public votes through the Love Island app available on smartphones for their favourite couple or prospective couple. Pairs who receive the fewest votes risk being eliminated. Often a twist has occurred where it has been up to the Islanders to vote one of their own off the island. During the final week, the public vote towards which couple they want to win the series and therefore take home £50,000.[ citation needed ]

Locations

South Africa

The villa for the 2023 winter series was the 25-acre Ludus Magnus estate in the Franschhoek wine valley. The previous winter series in 2020 was filmed at Midden Cottage in the Constantia suburb of Cape Town. [14] [15]
