It was revealed last month that the ITV dating show is commemorating its 10th anniversary by welcoming back a whole host of its biggest stars.
The one-off special, titled Love Island: A Decade of Love, will take on a ‘Gogglebox style format’ as the Islanders will revisit the show’s most iconic moments.
Airing in June, the episode will feature exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes insights as fans are given the chance to catch up with some of their favourite stars.
And now, ITV has revealed exactly which Islanders will be back on screens with Dani Dyer, Curtis Pritchard and lovebirds Liam Reardon and Millie Court all set to return.
Georgia Steel will no doubt revisit her iconic ‘I’m loyal’ catchphrase as she will make a comeback alongside series two winners Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey.
The show’s other successful couples Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan and Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope will also be back to give fans an update on their love stories.
Gabby Allen, who recently split from her All Stars boyfriend Casey O’Gorman, is also returning once again alongside the likes of Hannah Elizabeth, Anton Danyluk, Whitney Adebayo and Catherine Agbaje.
Lastly, Montana Brown – who welcomed her second child with fiancé Mark O’Connor at the start of the year – will also be gracing screens again.
Creative Director Mike Spencer said of the special: ‘We’ve had an incredible ten years of love, drama and unforgettable moments in the villa – now it’s time to look back and celebrate the icons who made it all happen.
‘Expect big laughs and plenty of heart as we revisit a decade of Love Island magic.’
While Paul Mortimer, Head of Reality, added: ‘Love Island has become a true phenomenon over the past decade, delivering must-see TV moments every summer.
‘This special offers viewers a chance to relive some of the show’s most iconic moments with the Islanders who made them so memorable.’
The special will air on ITV2 and ITVX ahead of the brand new summer series, which returns to Majorca this June.
Love Island: A Decade of Love is a co-production between Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios, and GroupM Motion Entertainment.
Love Island originally began in 2005 and aired for two series with celebrity contestants, before launching properly with a civilian version in 2015.
It has been 10 years since the ITV hit began and the reality series has launched the careers of many of its contestants so far.
Olivia Attwood has achieved a successful career in TV as a presenter and documentary maker, with series four contestant Zara McDermott following in her footsteps.
Molly-Mae Hague now has a jaw-dropping business empire which was aided by the Love Island platform.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has since appeared on several other TV shows off the back of her appearance, including the US version of The Traitors and Dancing On Ice.
Since its launch, 10 series have aired, with Laura Whitmore taking over as host from Caroline Flack in 2020, before current host Maya Jama then replaced her in 2023.
