The highly anticipated Love Island All Stars 2025 season has finally launched, delivering immediate drama, awkward reunions, and a game-changing public vote that set the first romantic pairings in stone. The series, which premiered on Thursday, 15th January 2026, wasted no time in putting its famous singles through their paces.
The All-Star Lineup and Initial Challenge
Host Maya Jama welcomed a roster of familiar faces to the villa, including former winners and fan favourites. The returning islanders featured Millie Court, Tommy Bradley, Helena Ford, Charlie Frederick, Leanne Amaning, and Jack Keating, among others. The season's first challenge, 'Good or No Good', saw the female contestants kiss a male islander and present him with a sash declaring him either 'good' or 'no good' for them.
In a twist, Maya later revealed the game was merely for entertainment. The real power lay with the viewing public, who had already voted to decide the inaugural couples of the series.
Public Vote Decides the First Couples
The results of the public vote were revealed, cementing the following pairings for the start of Love Island All Stars season 3:
- Whitney Adebayo was coupled with Jack Keating.
- Millie Court found herself paired with Ciaran Davies.
- Helena Ford and Charlie Frederick became a couple.
- Jess Harding was partnered with Tommy Bradley.
This initial coupling left four islanders single: Leanne Amaning, Shaq Muhammad, Belle Hassan, and Sean Stone.
Bombshell Entrance Causes Instant Chaos
No sooner were the couples confirmed than a dramatic twist unfolded. Series veteran Scott van-der-Sluis made a bombshell entrance as the first new arrival. His immediate task was to select which of the newly formed couples he believed were 'No Good'.
Scott's choices sent shockwaves through the villa. He singled out the potential pairs of Sean and Belle, and Shaq and Leanne. This decision meant those four islanders were immediately separated, throwing the villa's dynamic into disarray and setting the stage for the love triangles and recoupling dramas to come.
The explosive start promises a season filled with high-stakes romance, strategic gameplay, and the intense pressure of finding love under the All Stars spotlight.
