Love Island All Stars Season 2 Premieres

Anna Vakili announced she withdrew from the Love Island All Stars spin-off at the last minute, explaining that the type of man she wants to settle down with wouldn't approve of her participation in the show. Despite undergoing extensive preparation, including drug and STD testing, Anna felt that returning to the villa would be 'greedy' and not beneficial for her. Meanwhile, the second season of Love Island All Stars premiered, featuring returning contestants like Curtis Pritchard and Marcel Somerville, but faced viewer criticism regarding the age and suitability of the male contestants. Executive producer Mike Spencer noted that Ovie Soko declined the opportunity to join the cast, emphasizing their openness to reaching out to former contestants. Fans expressed disappointment over the selection of male participants, describing their flirting skills as lacking and questioning the appropriateness of older contestants returning to the show. The mixed reactions highlight the ongoing evolution of Love Island and its appeal to its audience.
