Love Island's Samira Mighty revealed the real reason she rejected an offer to appear on the show's very first All Stars.

The reality star rose to fame in the 2018 series of the ITV2 show. She was last coupled up with Frankie Foster but walked out of the villa on day 40 when he was dumped in hopes of reuniting with him. However, their relationship didn't last long as the pair decided to part ways in August of the same year.

Last year, it was rumoured that Samira would be one of the stars flying to South Africa for the new series. The new version currently has the likes of Kaz Kamwi, Liberty Poole, Mitch Taylor, Anton Danyluk and more returning to screens in hopes of having better luck finding love the second time around.

In a recent chat, Samira explained she was too busy focusing on her career to appear on the show. The star is a woman of many talents and released her debut solo single Like This, Like That last year.

She also recently released her debut EP Dancefloors & Drama Vol.1. Samira told how she's also working on shooting a horror movie. "It’s still a never-say-never thing, but I’ve got my EP out and I’m also shooting a horror film," she explained when asked about returning to the show.

Speaking to The Sun, she added: "It’s called Bambi: The Reckoning. The director has done horror movies in the past about Winnie the Pooh and stuff like that." The star went on to say she's 'booked and busy right now'. The TV personality previously discussed going from reality TV to music.

"I kind of always knew when I came out that I wanted to keep going with that kind of creative aspect," she explained while referring to her past career in the West End - which involved skills in dancing, singing and more. "But it’s kind of difficult for people to take you seriously because they think maybe you are like a joke or you’re trying to do like a one-hit wonder."

"Hopefully people don’t see that in me," Samira said to Metro.co.uk. Meanwhile, Love Island: All Stars viewers witnessed Demi Jones and Luis Morrison getting dumped from the villa. Demi and Luis were booted off the show after the recent arrivals of Arabella Chi and Tyler Cruickshank. Arabella was asked to choose who she wanted to couple up with and she picked Chris Taylor, whilst newbie Tyler chose to recouple up with his ex-girlfriend Kaz Kamwi.

It left Demi and Luis getting dumped from the villa, yet things didn't seem over for the pair during their exit chat. Host Maya Jama spoke to the reality TV stars after the recoupling where they teased they could end up together.
