Georgia appeared on the third series of Love Island. During her time on the show, she was partnered with Kem Cetinay and Sam Gowland, before being dumped from the villa during the final.

Speaking about joining the show, she said: "The last time I went in as a bombshell and I always wondered if I would have found love if I’d gone in a bit earlier. When I heard about Love Island: All Stars, I thought it was meant to be.

"As much as this years been amazing, it’s been heavy at times and pretty serious with all of my campaigning work. This is the last year of my 20’s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love."

Toby Aromolaran, 24

Series 7 star Toby is heading back to the villa and jokes the show is his idea of a dating app. "I’m single and Love Island worked for me the first time. I had a good relationship and fell in love. If I'm Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?" he said.

"It’s a running joke with my family and friends that for me to find something serious with a girl, I would need to go on Love Island. They call it my version of a dating app. My family are so supportive and are just waiting for me to bring another girl home from the Villa."

Toby was in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows thanks to the show but they have now split and he's hopeful she will be supportive of his decision to go on the show. He added: "I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same."

Kaz was also in the seventh series of the show, and was originally coupled up with Toby. However, she ended up leaving the show in fourth place with her partner at the time Tyler Cruickshank over 50 days after entering the villa.

Asked about the best moment from her series, she said: "It has to be coming out with my best friend for life, Liberty. The memories I loved and treasure the most are more often than not the ones with Lib. We always laugh about the moment we first met when we couldn’t open the champagne, to this day we still remember it and when we go out, we just look at each other and laugh."

"To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love. I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time," she explained of her hopes for the new All Stars series.

Chris Taylor, 33

Series five star Chris is hoping he might avoid being pied so much this time around. Chris - who recently starred in the Barbie movie after meeting its star (and huge Love Island fan) Margot Robbie - was only in the show for 15 days first time.

"I am going to try very hard to not get pied as many times as I did last time. I managed to get pied six times in 15 days, which has got to be a world record. I am going to make better decisions which will probably end up transitioning into worse decisions," he said.

"Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit - I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me! It would be good to find a girl who I can co-parent my dog with."

Georgia Steel, 25

Series four star Georgia says she has "everything in life but a boyfriend" - and is hoping to find The One. "I feel like going in this time it’ll be nice because we have all gone through similar experiences, I think that'll create an instant connection," she said, "I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car - I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go."

She has been open about being conned by a partner in the past but insists it's made her more wiser in a relationship. "I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner. It’s a massive benefit for me as it makes me more knowledgeable and wiser on what I need to receive from a relationship," she said.

Anton Danyluk, 29

Series five star Anton says it was a "no brainer" to head back to the villa. "For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable," he shared ahead of his second stint on the show.

"I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner. I’m really excited at the prospect of it."

Asked about his best memories from his time on the show several years back where he was mostly coupled up with Belle Hassan, he said: "There are two that stand out for me! If I get seen out, people always ask me ‘does your mum still shave your bum?’ Haha. That just doesn’t go away! And of course it has to be Craig David performing. It was iconic."

Hannah Elizabeth, 33

Hannah Elizabeth is the oldest girl in the All Stars line-up, and says she told ITV bosses she'd only come back if the single men were over 30.

The series one runner-up Hannah received a marriage proposal whilst in the villa first time round, but that won't happen again!

Asked if she planned to get engaged this time around whilst in the Love Island villa, she said: "Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time. It was almost ten years ago and I was in that proper whirlwind kind of love, now that I’m that bit older I try to take things a little slower.

"I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again."

Jake Cornish, 26

Series seven star Jake isn't worried about being reunited with ex Liberty Poole in the villa.

Asked if he'd be worried about seeing any exes, he said: "Well there is only one and that’s Liberty. We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end."

And insisting he wouldn't change anything, he said: "There is nothing major I would do differently but I have definitely matured in the two years since first being on the show. I look at things differently and respond differently. When it comes to people's opinions, I don’t sit on the fence anymore. That is my way of life now, so I will take that into the Villa."

Demi Jones, 25

Demi - one of the stars of series six - admits she's ready to find love after losing a lot of confidence amid her health battles. Demi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer but has since got the all clear.

"I am returning to the Love Island Villa because I am ready again to find love. I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back. So, let’s find a man!" she said, "I will go in there with a little more determination. Last time I was a little too naive and a little too nice. I’m still going to be my nice and bubbly self, but if I want something I will go after it, because I deserve it as much as the next person."

Luis Morrison, 29

Series one star Luis has a great track record in the villa and hopes he can find love once again.

"It was the best experience of my life. I found love in the Villa before and who knows if I can find love in there again?" he said, "I feel like it’s the best place to find different connections. I am confident I will find a connection again."

However, he insists he's a "lot older and wiser" now so is hoping it'll give him a head start. He shared: "I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan - I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens."

Fan favourite Liberty - of series seven fame - admits she's going to find it "awkward" being with Jake Cornish in the villa once more.

Asked how she'd feel if her ex was in there, she said: "It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best. I'm going to be focused on my own journey so if it was to happen I won’t be worrying about them - so I'll stay focussed on my goal, which is to find love."

However, she says she has "grown" a lot in the past few years since first starring on the show. "I’ve grown so much as a person since I was first on the show, so I’m excited for people to see that. I’m a lot more confident in who I am and sure about exactly what I want from a relationship. I just want to have fun and meet a lovely boy," she said.

Mitchel Taylor, 27

Mitch is the most recent Love Island recruit heading back into the villa, and he hopes this time won't be so 'messy'. During his time on the show, he had romances with Molly as well as Abi and Ella.

Speaking about joining the show once more, he said: "I think I went in with my heart on my sleeve the first time and got hurt and this time I am just going in to enjoy myself and if a connection happens, a connection happens.

"Honestly when I went in for series ten, you saw me and Molly, I went for Molly, I wanted her. And with this one, I am not going to make myself that vulnerable. I am going to play the game."

He added: "I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being “Messy Mitch”. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for. If I don’t agree with something, I’m not going to hold it back."

Love Island: All Stars airs on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX every night from 9pm from 15th January
