Joining the villa are Georgia Harrison, Toby Aromolaran, Kaz Kamwi, Chris Taylor, Georgia Steel, Anton Danyluk, Hannah Elizabeth, Jake Cornish, Demi Jones, Luis Morrison, Liberty Poole and Mitchel Taylor.
The first instalment of the special spin-off series saw returning host Maya Jama make a glamorous entrance while the first All Star couples were formed thanks to a public vote before the first episode kicked off.
During the coupling, it was revealed that Demi and Chris had been paired together. Chris said of being paired together: "We've got the same personality!" while Demi added: "We've got a similar personality! I think people have paired it on that, so yeah, cute!"

So now, I don't know if I should speak to Chris and say: 'Just to let you know, I was going to stand up but I got really nervous.'

"The only thing is, Chris actually slid into my DMs a little while ago, I hate texting, I'm like a meet-up person, so I never explored it and then obviously now I've seen him properly for the first time now. So I'm like interested to see if that attraction is still there or whether he's not even interested anymore."
Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to react to Chris and Demi being coupled up. One person said: "Demi and Chris. BIG YES. #LoveIsland", a different account put: "I think Chris and Demi are gonna be the most genuine couple in there #LoveIsland", another viewer wrote: "Demi and Chris was such a SHOUT #LoveIsland" while another added: "Chris and Demi are my winners #LoveIslandAllStars #LoveIsland."
