ITV has announced the news that all Love Island fans have been waiting for – the start date for the first ever All Stars series.

The spin-off of the hit reality TV dating show is expected to feature Love Island alumni across the globe continuing their quest to find their dream partner.

According to the MailOnline, already spoken-for stars could also made cameo appearances on the show.

Overseeing proceedings at a villa in South Africa will be regular Love Island host Maya Jama.

Taking to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the broadcaster confirmed that the new show will kick off on January 15.

"Confirmed: Love Island: All Stars starts Monday 15 January, 9pm simulcast on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX," the tweet read.

A trailer for All Stars aired during the final of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in December and saw Jama getting all glammed up, ready to face the camera.

Frank Sinatra's The Second Time Around could be heard playing, which features the lyrics: "Love is lovelier the second time around, just as wonderful with both feet on the ground," hinting at what viewers can expect as the returning islanders head back to the villa. Referencing the show's infamous loyalty test, Jama then teased: "For the first time, we're bringing back all star Islanders for a second chance at love, the question is who will be back for Amor."

The line-up is yet to be announced, but Love Island 2019 contestant Ovie Soko, Paige Thorne from the 2022 series, and Georgia Steel, who found fame on the 2018 season, are all reportedly taking part.
