A dramatic new twist has hit the Love Island All Stars villa, as a former contestant has exposed flirtatious direct messages from current Islander Charlie Frederick sent just weeks before filming began.
Explosive Screenshots Reveal Pre-Villa Flirting
Emma Munro, who starred in series 12 of the hit ITV2 show, took to TikTok to share shocking evidence that Charlie Frederick slid into her DMs. The personal trainer, who is currently causing a stir in the 2026 All Stars series in South Africa, allegedly asked the brunette beauty on a date. Munro claims this happened a mere two weeks before he was due to jet off to the villa.
In a video that has been viewed almost two million times, Munro teased her followers before revealing the proof. She pointed to a photo of the current male All Stars cast and said, "Sorry. One of these men asked me on a date two weeks ago." She expressed her disbelief, questioning why he would make such an advance so close to his televised search for love.
The screenshot evidence showed a message from Charlie reading, "Well, let’s go on a date then." While Emma did not respond to that particular message, she later sent him a link on 31st December to a news story announcing the official All Stars cast—which featured his photo.
Chaos in the Villa and a Scathing Review
This revelation adds significant fuel to the fire already surrounding Charlie's behaviour in the South African villa. The 31-year-old fitness coach has been at the centre of drama, openly flirting with both Millie Court and Jess Harding while keeping his options open. His actions, including kissing one Islander and telling another he wanted to 'lips her', have led fans to brand him a 'heartbreaker'.
Emma Munro didn't stop at exposing Charlie. She went on to slate the entire 2026 line-up of male Islanders, calling it "diabolical." She claimed that even the bombshells due to enter the villa are texting her for help, struggling to find a single good match among the men.
A Potential Saviour for the Show?
Despite confirming she has zero interest in Charlie Frederick, Munro did hint at a crush on another former Islander who she believes could rescue the series. She issued a direct plea to producers: "The only way I’m forgiving you for this line-up is if you bring Ovie in." She urged bosses to give the viewers what they want, regardless of cost.
This exposé throws Charlie's genuine intentions on the show into serious doubt, leaving viewers to question whether his connections with Millie and Jess are authentic, or merely a strategic game. As the All Stars series continues, all eyes will be on how this drama unfolds both inside and outside the villa.
