Love Island All Stars' Callum Jones and Jess Gale have arrived in UK hand-in-hand after an awkward clip resurfaced online.

The stars of the ITV2 dating show landed at Heathrow following their stint in the South African villa. Callum and Jess appeared every bit an item as they strolled through the airport holding hands. They both smiled at the cameras and kept comfy in loungewear. It comes after Callum was heard slamming Jess as his "least favourite" Islander.

Four years before they coupled up in the Love Island All Stars villa, Callum didn't hold back his thoughts on Jess and her twin sister Eve. In a resurfaced clip from 2020, Callum was asked: "Who's your least favourite Islander on the series?" He responded: "I think least favourite Islander, urm," before Georgia Steel asked: "Someone that you really didn't like as much. Or someone that you just weren't as close to, maybe, it don't have to be malicious or like that."

"Who I weren't close to," Callum questioned, before Joe exclaimed: "You know you've got a name in your head, you just don't want to say it!" Callum commented: "Maybe the twins (Jess and Eve Gale)." The clip has now gone viral on social media with many being left amused by his comments as he place second with Jess in the final earlier this week.

The couple arrived back in the UK alongside Anton Danyluk and Georgia Harrison, who had their arms wrapped around each other as they posed for a photo after their 11 hour flight. Toby Aromolaran wrapped his arm around Georgia Steel as they posed for snaps while beaming at the camera.

They were even surprised with a huge red love heart balloon with their names on. Josh Ritchie strolled through the airport with his arm over Sophie Piper's shoulder. The pair wore matching outfits as Josh kept comfy in a green tracksuit and pink cap, while Sophie wore a black tracksuit and green cap.

They appeared in high spirits as they joked with each other on their arrival back home. Winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare snuggled into each other as they were welcomed by their friends and family. Molly held onto a huge white and red dog teddy bear as Tom kept his arm firmly around her shoulder.

Molly and Tom were declared the first ever winners of the Love Island All Stars series, having been crowned earlier this week by host Maya Jama. On Monday night, the Islanders rushed to hug Molly and Tom as the pair screamed, with Molly shouting: "What the f**k, sorry!" when asked for her reaction by Maya.

Voting figures have since revealed Molly and Tom won with 35% of the vote but Jess and Callum were only two per cent behind, having bagged 33 per cent of the vote. Sophie and Josh ended up with 15% of the vote, whilst Georgia S and Toby had 10% of the vote and Georgia H and Anton with just 7% of the total vote.

Following the show, Molly and Tom revealed what they really think of Callum. Molly dated Callum for three years after first meeting on the winter edition of the ITV2 dating show. They shocked fans last year when they decided to call it quits. Both Molly and Callum ended up being in the Love Island All Stars villa, where they moved on with other Islanders.

Opening up about how the most challenging part of the series, Molly said: "Walking in and seeing the back of my ex’s head and living with him 24/7." However, she then said things began to get easier, explaining: "At first it was weird and awkward, but then towards the end it was fine. We actually get on really well and Tom gets on with him which is great.” Tom added: “In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t get on with him but me and Cal do get on. I think he’s a good lad. Do you know what I think it makes Mol more attractive that she can get on with Callum."
