Love Island: All Stars 2024 full guide: winner and everything you need to know
Love Island: All Stars saw ex-islanders heading back to the villa for a second chance at love.
Love Island: All Stars has now come to an end.
Following on from Love Island 2023 and the Love Island Games, a fresh batch of islanders headed to the villa in South Africa for another round of fun in the sun. But instead of the usual winter spin-off, there was a big twist to the format.
This time around, the show's cast was comprised entirely of villa veterans who were taking their second (or in some cases, third!) shot at finding love on the show. And with the series at an end, another couple has joined the Love Island winners list.
Here's what you need to know about Love Island: All Stars 2024.
Who won Love Island: All Stars 2024?
After five weeks of coupling up and plenty of drama, host Maya Jama revealed that Molly Smith and Tom Clare were the winning couple, meaning they walked away from the All Stars villa £50,000 richer (a cash prize which they'll split).
Molly's ex Callum Jones came in second place with Jess Gale, with Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie in third, and Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran rounding out the finalists in fourth place.

Who hosted Love Island: All Stars?
Thanks to a brief teaser shared in early December, we knew that Maya Jama was coming back to host Love Island: All Stars.
When Jama was originally confirmed as the new Love Island host, Director of Reality Programming & Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ItvBe & CITV, Paul Mortimer said: “Finding a new host to follow the wonderful Laura Whitmore was never going to be easy. In Maya Jama though, we have another high profile fan of the show who’ll be a great addition to the Love Island family.
"Cool, charming and charismatic, I speak for us all when I say Maya will also bring a unique presenting style to the show, as did Laura and, of course, the very much missed Caroline Flack. We’re very pleased to have her on board.”

Is there a Love Island: All Stars trailer?
Whilst a Love Island: All Stars trailer never arrived (unless you count that Meet The Islanders video!), ITV continued to release preview clips for the new series online. Below, we've included a clip of the finalists reflecting on their journey to find love.
The Love Island: All Stars villa
As you'd expect, the Love Island villa was redecorated to accommodate its new all-star arrivals. The early photos revealed that the producers had decided to really lean into a gold theme for their returning stars. Check out the villa in the clip below:

What else is there to know about Love Island: All Stars?
When the series was first confirmed, Mike Spencer, Creative Director at Lifted Entertainment, said: "It has been rumoured now for a while but we are thrilled to finally confirm that we are making Love Island: All Stars early next year for ITV2 and ITVX. It's set to be a must watch series seeing some of your favourite Islanders from across the years heading back to the stunning South African villa to once again 'graft' as their search for love continues. I simply can't wait!”
The Sun also revealed that ITV had shelved the companion series, Aftersun, for Love Island: All Stars ahead of the show's premiere. Instead, islanders were interviewed by Maya Jama upon their exit from the villa, meaning we got their reactions right after the islanders got dumped. Aftersun is expected to return for Love Island 2024.
