With just a matter of days before the spin-off series hits our screens, fans have been desperate to know which former Islanders are taking part this year.

Now The Sun can exclusively reveal the Love Island legends who will step foot in the villa once more in a bid to find love.

Some of the rumours were true… but there are also some surprises that will shock viewers.

Let’s take a look at which famous faces will be back on our screens Monday 15th January at 9pm. 

Hannah Elizabeth

Hannah, 33, shot to fame on the first season of the revived ITV series in 2015.

The glamour model caught the eye of Jon Clark, 34, on day one and the pair soon became fan favourites of the series.

The two were crowned winners of the show shortly after Jon got down on one knee to propose.

Despite their connection, two months after returning to the UK they split up and went their separate ways.

Hannah is now a mum to her son Reggie, four, who she shares with her ex George Andretti.

Georgia Steel

Georgia’s iconic saying: “I’m loyal” became the quote of the season back in 2018.

The 25-year-old entered the villa as a bombshell on day four and instantly coupled up with Niall Aslam, 28.

She later got with Josh Denzel, 32, and was left heartbroken when he brought back Kaz Crossley, 28, after the dreaded Casa Amor twist.

The beauty then found love with Sam Bird, 26, and after an intense recoupling ceremony, they decided to leave the show together – but later split up.

Georgia also recently took part in Love Island Games on Peacock.

Georgia Harrison

Georgia, 29, was one of the sexy singletons who took part in Love Island series three. 

The former PA was one of the dreaded bombshells who arrived to stir trouble with the Islanders.

She stole Kem Cetinay, 27, off of Amber Davies, 27, and then coupled up with Geordie Shore lad Sam Gowland, 28.

Georgia was then dumped after she was found at the bottom of the public vote.

Since Love Island Georgia has been in various reality shows such as Towie, The Challenge and Celebrity Ex On The Beach.

She bravely stood up against ex Stephen Bear, 33, in court as he was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films. She’s since made the documentary Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear and campaigned for tighter laws around intimate image abuse. 

Chris Taylor

Chris, 33, took part in the fifth series of Love Island five years ago.

The former business development manager originally coupled up with Maura Higgins, 33, but later paired with Harley Brash, 25.

They gave it their best go when they returned to the UK, but Chris and Harley were the first couple to split from their season.

Chris later moved in with his co-stars Michael Griffiths, 32, Jordan Hames, 28, and Danny Williams, 26, in lockdown – who were coined as “Destiny’s Chaldish” after their laddish ways in the villa.

Love Island fans were shocked when Chris and Maura, 33, announced they were a couple, but later split in May 2021.

The star also landed a short cameo in the Barbie movie last year alongside Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Dua Lipa.

Anton Danyluk

Anton, 28, was another one of the hunks that took part in the fifth series of Love Island.

During his stint in the villa the Scotsman coupled up with a number of girls before falling for Belle Hassan, 25.

The former couple narrowly missed a place in the final.

They then called it quits five weeks after landing in the UK. Since then, Anton has moved to Dubai and been forced to deny that he’s had facial fillers after fans spotted him looking very different to the villa. 

Mitch Taylor

Mitch, 26, has decided to give Love Island another go months after his first attempt on the show.

The gas engineer, who was labelled “Messy Mitch”, had a memorable time in the villa last summer.

He coupled up with the likes of Molly Marsh, 21, Leah Taylor, 27, and Jess Harding, 23.

Mitch later got involved in an awkward love triangle with his ex Abi Moores and love interest Ella Barnes, 24, towards the end of the series.

A matter of weeks after the show wrapped up, Mitch and Ella revealed they had ended things.

After Love Island Mitch was “dropped by his management” when it was claimed he made homophobic comments and threw money at a homeless man outside a celebrity party – which he has denied.

Demi Jones

25

25

Demi, 25, took part in the first winter series of Love Island before lockdown in 2020.

The star jetted off to South Africa and entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Wallace Wilson.

Demi struck up a romance with Nas Majeed, 27, but after Casa Amor he brought Eva Zapico, 25, back to the main villa.

The red head beauty then coupled up with Luke Mabbott, 28, and placed fourth on the show.

Their romance didn’t last due to their distance and Luke soon moved on with series five star Lucie Donlan, 25.

Demi has been very open with her thyroid cancer battle since she was diagnosed in 2020.

She was given the all clear in December 2021.

Liberty Poole

25

Liberty, 24, quit Love Island in 2021 just days before the final after she realised that Jake Cornish wasn’t the one. 

The former waitress was one of the original Islanders of series seven.

She coupled up with Jake on day one and the pair – who were nicknamed Jiberty – seemed to be going from strength to strength.

However cracks soon started to show when the lad hinted that he wasn’t attracted to her.

Liberty took matters into her own hands and left the villa as a singleton.

Since her first stint, the Brummy lass has taken part in Dancing On Ice and Love Island Games.

Jake Cornish

Jake, 26, decided to leave the Love Island villa alongside Liberty two years ago.

The water engineer stayed with the Brummie lass until the very last moment. 

Although many thought that the pair were going to win the show, after a clip of Jake aired during movie night, things totally changed.

Jake confessed that he didn’t want to rip off Liberty’s clothes, which left her questioning everything that they had. 

Since Love Island Jake has kept a low profile and stayed out of the spotlight.

He still boasts an impressive 427k followers on Instagram and owns his own fitness business. 

How will the exes react when they see each other for the first time?

Kaz Kamwi

Kaz, 29, was another star from series seven.

The fashion blogger – who is best pals with Liberty – coupled up with a number of different guys before finding love with Tyler Cruickshank, 29.

The pair tried to make things work when they got back to the UK but eventually split.  

Kaz has carried on filming content and taking snaps for social media, and even has her own podcast with Liberty.  

Luis Morrison

Luis, now 29, originally shot to fame in the first series of the show back in 2015.

He coupled up with Cally Jane Beech and got all the way to the final, only to finish in fourth place.

After the show, they had Love Island’s first baby Vienna in 2017, but sadly split a year later.

Luis later had another baby, Romeo, with girlfriend Chloe Elizabeth – but they broke up two months after the birth.

The Sun revealed last month how former footballer was in ‘advanced talks’ for the South Africa show.

Toby Aromolaran

Toby, 24, placed second alongside ex Chloe Burrows, 28, in 2017.

The former love birds missed out on the number one spot to Millie Court, 27, and Liam Reardon, 24.

After a year of dating, and even moving in together, Toby and Chloe ended things. 

While Chloe tried to find love again on Celebs Go Dating last year, footballer Toby recently appeared on Love Island Games.
