Celebrity Traitors season 2 tipped to star BAFTA winner and EastEnders legend after 'turning down' first run
The actor reportedly was a fan of the first season.
Danny Dyer has reportedly signed up for The Celebrity Traitors series 2, as casting gets underway for forthcoming season of the reality show. Dyer, best known for his work as Mick Carter on EastEnders, is said to have turned down the chance to appear on season 1 but after watching the show his mind soon change. A source told The Sun: "Danny was always top of The Celebrity Traitors wish list but had zero interest until seeing the fun and games last autumn. "As soon as his tune changed, it was all systems go." A spokesperson for the BBC said: "We’re not commenting on speculation but details about series two of The Celebrity Traitors will be announced in due course." Dyer is no stranger to the world of the Traitors, having appeared in a parody sketch of the show for Comic Relief in 2023. The source continued: "Danny is a reality TV booker's dream signing and will be incredible value, as he’s naturally funny but in a totally different way to Alan Carr. "Bosses don’t want to repeat the same formula and he’ll be absolute gold. As we saw with Daisy May Cooper for series one, things can change at the last minute, but Danny looks all set to join filming up in the Highlands later this year."

AJ Bunker Konnor Ewudzi Samie Elishi Scott van-der-Sluis Millie Court Whitney Adebayo Belle Hassan Ciaran Davies Tommy Bradley Jess Harding Leanne Amaning Helena Ford Sean Stone Charlie Frederick Shaq Muhammad Jack Keating Read on to learn more about the contestants. AJ Bunker Age: 33 Instagram: @andreajanebunker First appeared: Season 7 (2021) AJ only appeared briefly in Love Island in season 7, arriving for a week as a bombshell as a hair extensions technician from Hemel Hempstead. Paired with unlucky-in-love Hugo Hammond, things didn't work out, and eventually, AJ was dumped by the boys of the island. Now, AJ is back, hopefully for a more successful shot at love this time around. Speaking ahead of entering the villa, AJ said, "My dating life has been tragic. I seem to attract liars or guys that like to ghost, but it's never been anything long-term enough to cry over. I fall too quickly, and then I’m over it. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is; it’s been a lot of men promising and not delivering." Will she be different this time? AJ also said: "I’m going to be unapologetically me, and if they don't like it, they can deal with it. I think people will be shocked because I'm quite chatty and fun!" Konnor Ewudzi Age: 30 Instagram: @konnorewudzi First appeared: Season 11 (2024) A barber from Cornwall, Konnor, entered season 11 of Love Island UK as a bombshell and soon coupled up with Grace Jackson. However, this wasn't to be, and he concurrently was in couples with Emma Milton and Lauren "Lolly" Hart. This romance fizzled out, and Konnor and Lolly were dumped from the island days ahead of the final. Now Konnor is back and looking for love once more. "It’s another opportunity to find somebody," noted Konnor. "I didn't find a girl the first time round so it’s a great chance to try again." He added: "I turned 30 in November so my friends around me are getting engaged, having kids and I’m wondering, ‘When is it my turn?’" Maybe this time, he'll be lucky! Samie Elishi Age: 25 Instagram: @samieelishi First appeared: Season 9 (2023) A senior estate agent coordinator from London, Samie, arrived as a bombshell in season 9 and coupled up with Kai Fagan before coupling up with footballer Tom Clare. Samie and Tom made it to the final and came in third place. The pair split up a few months later. Samie returned for the second season of All Stars last year as a late bombshell and was reunited with Tom's best friend, Casey O'Gorman, from her previous season. However, Samie was subsequently dumped from the villa a few days later after failing to find a suitable couple. Now Samie returns for her third Love Island season, but will things turn out differently? Samie commented, "I feel like my last time in the All Stars Villa, I didn't get a fair shot, and it’s such an amazing experience, so if I can do it one more time, why not?" Arguing that she has grown up a lot since season 9, Samie said: "My last time on All Stars, you didn’t get to really see that. I want the audience to see how much I've grown and hopefully actually see me in a nice situation, coupled up with someone." Scott van-der-Sluis Age: 25 Instagram: @scottvds17 First appeared: Season 10 (2023) Scott van-der-Sluis first graced our TV screens back in 2023, entering the villa as a bombshell. While he was dumped and didn't manage to form a relationship, he eventually went on to appear on a season of Love Island US that same year, Love Island Games and more recently, Perfect Match on Netflix. Reflecting on why he wanted to return to the villa, Scott explained that he has been "on a journey for the last two and a half years" and has always believed that All Stars would be "the final chapter of that journey." He said: "That’s all I’m missing so it would be nice to find something real and find someone to care about." This is his fourth season of Love Island, meaning he ties now with Casey O'Gorman and Toby Aromolaran for the most seasons. Millie Court Age: 29 Instagram: @milliegracecourt First appeared: Season 7 (2021) Millie Court first appeared on Love Island in 2021 and went on to win the programme alongside former boyfriend Liam Reardon. Despite the pair splitting up in 2022, they reunited but have since broken up once more. Millie has said she is still the same person she was when she first went on the show, and is planning to stay true to herself with an added dash of flirtation. Whitney Adebayo Age: 28 Instagram: @whitneyadebayo First appeared: Season 10 (2023) Whitney Adebayo was a finalist on her series of Love Island and even left in a relationship with Lochan Nowacki, but after a little under two years, the couple went their separate ways. Whitney is looking forward to a fresh start in the place her journey first began. She added: "I had quite a good run last time, not going to lie! You'll get the same person, whether you like me or not, you're going to get it." Belle Hassan Age: 27 Instagram: @bellehassan First appeared: Season 5 (2019) Belle Hassan appeared on season 5 of Love Island back in 2019 as a Casa Amor girl and was brought back to the main villa after coupling up with Anton. More recently, she dated professional rugby player Luke Crosbie but the pair split up 10 months ago. Belle said she feels ready to find a husband after growing sick of being heartbroken. "Last time I was really just myself, so I'll do that again," she said. "I'll always be me and whatever happens, happens." Jess Harding Age: 25 Instagram: @jesshardingox First appeared: Season 10 (2023) Jess Harding won season 10 of Love Island back in 2023 alongside Sammy Root but the pair only lasted two months outside of the villa before going their separate ways. Sammy appeared on All Stars back in 2025, and did find love, so could the same happen for Jess? Speaking of why she wanted to return, Jess said: "Even though I ended up winning the series with Sammy, I felt like I had a bit of a rocky ride the first time and I feel like I’ve matured a lot more since. "I was 22, now I’m 25, I feel like every situation I’ve been in since then has been a lesson in knowing what I want and don’t want. I really want to meet someone and settle down." Leanne Amaning Age: 28 Instagram: @leanneamaning First appeared: Season 6 (2020) Leanne Amaning appeared on the first iteration of winter Love Island back in 2020, and was coupled up with Mike Boateng since day one of the villa before famously developing "the ick". She was brutally dumped from the Love Island villa on Day 18 after Mike decided to couple up with Sophie Piper instead of her. Since then, she has also appeared on Ex on the Beach and was also reportedly part of the holding cast for last year's All Stars but quit the show before entering the villa, saying: "The more the show went on the less it made sense for me to go in there and the less I wanted to." Heading into the villa, Leanne wants to be "open in the way that I should have been in series 6". Helena Ford Age: 29 Instagram: @helenaforddd First appeared: Season 12 (2025) Helena Ford only appeared as recently as last year's Love Island season, but she's ready to find love and have an even better time. During her time on the show, Helena was coupled up with Harry Cooksley and the pair were even exclusive at one point but he eventually re-coupled with Shakira Khan and Helena was dumped from the villa after receiving the fewest votes from the public. She added: "Last time I was so upset about it not working out relationship wise, I hope that I can actually meet someone and stay together this time." Ciaran Davies Age: 23 Instagram: @ciarandaviesss First appeared: Series 11 (2024) Ciaran was a runner-up on 2024's summer season of Love Island with partner Nicole Samuel but the pair split only about four months after leaving the villa, citing that it was a mutual decision. Now, Ciaran is looking for love and is ready to settle down... again. Tommy Bradley Age: 22 Instagram: @_tommybradley_ First appeared: Season 12 (2025) Tommy Bradley has signed up for All Stars after only appearing on Love Island in 2025 but was unlucky in love. He initially coupled up with Megan Forte Clarke who dumped him for Conor Phillips. He left the show partnered with Casa Amor’s Lucy but they split just a few weeks after leaving the villa. He's now heading into the All Stars villa to give it another shot and is planning to be more open-minded and not fall for someone so quickly. Sean Stone Age: 26 Instagram: @seanstone_ First appeared: Season 11 (2024) Sean was in the villa from day one in his 2024 season but didn't find love until day 17 when he coupled up with Matilda Draper. The pair came in third place but couldn't make it work in the outside world and were only together for a matter of weeks before splitting up. Now in the villa for a second time, Sean plans to stick to his morals and "pick and choose when" to say his piece when in a situation, adding he will keep his opinions to himself when something doesn't involve him.

Since leaving the villa, Jack now shares two-year-old daughter Maya with ex-girlfriend Keely Iqbal. "I feel like I have to come back and redeem myself, my experience before was short and sweet, I was in there for four days and I didn’t couple up with anyone, so it didn’t really go to plan," Jack said of his decision to return. "The revenge tour is here! I’ve been single for a year now and I’m looking for love." Love Island: All Stars returns on Friday 16th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Who is Jade? Meet The Traitors season 4 contestant and PhD student
Jade is planning to play down everything she does in day-to-day life to the group.
The Traitors has provided viewers with non-stop twists and turns since it returned at the start of the year. During the premiere, it was revealed there would be a secret Traitor playing the game. Since then, the secret Traitor has been revealed, roundtables have taken place early in the game and suspicion has been at an all time high. One player who has received plenty of suspicious glances is Jade, despite being a Faithful from the very start, a role she always wanted. Later episodes have revealed more about Jade's past and why she feels she has been seen as standoffish. As the series continues, scroll on to learn more about The Traitors season 4 contestant. Who is Jade from The Traitors? Age: 25 Job: PhD student Location: West Midlands Jade is a PhD student from the West Midlands who believes herself to be quite an observant person, particularly being able to pick up on things that people may think she misses. "I have quite good problem solving abilities, so that will hopefully help in trying to navigate through the game and missions," she said. "I think I can bring good teamwork to the table. I think I'll also get along with everyone as well." What happened to Jade's family, and why is she on the show? In an emotional dinner during episode 9, Jade revealed that her mum and sister were found dead in Hong Kong in 2018. Jade said to the table, "My parents got divorced when I was seven. My mum moved back to Hong Kong, and she had a kid and then…" After this, she became emotional and revealed: “In 2018, they were both found dead. I’ve had to really rebuild myself from that point onwards." She later added: I was always very close with her, so it was a shock to the system. Our parents form a big core of our identity." As a result, Jade wants to use any potential winnings from the show to buy her own home. Where can you get Jade's cardigan? In a recent episode of The Traitor, Jade's cardigan (pictured above) quickly became the talk of viewers, with many dazzled by the design. The exact cardigan is from a brand called Hope Macaulay, and is called a Colourful Colossal Knit Cardigan. It can be purchased for £430. Why did Jade apply for The Traitors? Jade plays a lot of video games which are similar to The Traitors, and so she thought "why would I not?" as she does it in her spare time.

The Traitors season 4 cast: Confirmed line-up of faithfuls and traitors
**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 4** The latest episode of The Traitors saw Rachel and Stephen take a huge risk by 'murdering' Jessie in a bid to remove a dangerous faithful. Ultimately, the move worked as the heat was taken off Stephen and instead misdirected at Ellie, who was ultimately banished from the castle. Following an emotional dinner, Claudia offered the traitors a chance to deliver a symbolic dagger to give someone the power of a double vote at the next roundtable - but who did they give it to? With days to go before the next episode, it's perhaps a good time to brush up on The Traitors season 4 cast before they return to Ardross Castle for more chaos. The Traitors season 4 cast: Full list of players Here's a quick list of players in The Traitors 2026 cast – read on for more details, including their headshots, ages, jobs and initial remarks upon joining the show. Faraaz Jack Jade James Matthew Rachel (TRAITOR) Roxy Stephen (TRAITOR) Ellie - BANISHED Jessie - 'MURDERED' Sam - BANISHED Adam - 'MURDERED' Harriet - BANISHED Fiona - BANISHED Reece - 'MURDERED' Amanda - BANISHED Maz - 'MURDERED' Ross - BANISHED Hugo - BANISHED Ben - 'MURDERED' Judy - BANISHED Netty - 'MURDERED' Harriet Age: 52 Job: Crime writer and former barrister Location: London The Traitors is "one of the very few" reality shows that Harriet reckons she has the skill set for, having worked as a criminal barrister and now a crime writer. "I spend my life making up horrible ways for people to die and killing people on the page," she said. "The idea that I might get to actually plot to kill people or to track down a murderer, but, you know, without actual blood being shed, it's the closest that I'd get to that experience in real life. So quite honestly, what's not to like?" Stephen - TRAITOR Age: 32 Job: Cyber security consultant Location: London Stephen loves The Traitors, so much so that he has been re-watching past seasons to get into the headspace and "examine the certain things that people have done that were so normal to them but others found weird." Judy Age: 60 Job: Child Liaison Officer Location: Doncaster Judy applied for The Traitors because she thought she could do it and saw it as a "great opportunity to do it at [her] time of life". She added: "I just think that the whole experience will be incredible, and I will never, ever experience anything like this again." View Green Video on the source website Ross Age: 37 Job: Sales exec and personal trainer Location: London After some of his clients started talking about The Traitors, Ross applied for the show on a whim. Asked what he thinks he'll bring to the show, Ross said: "I like to think I'm a good judge of character. I think it'll be a fun, interesting adventure, and a cool opportunity, I'm actually really excited." Ellie Age: 33 Job: Psychologist Location: London For Ellie, she finds The Traitors to be "so psychologically interesting" and enjoys "analysing what everyone's doing and thinking through why they're convinced that they know something, when to the viewer, they're quite clearly wrong" when watching the show. It was from that, she knew she "had to get involved" and understand the game for herself. Netty Age: 42 Job: Nursery school teacher Location: Glasgow Netty thinks The Traitors is "one of the most amazing games" someone could play, and wanted to do something for her and to have fun. She explained: "Purely selfish reasons, but I just wanted to have some fun and do something that allowed me to get a little bit of myself back. I like delving into people and finding out about them, so I am excited to meet everyone and get to know them." Fiona - TRAITOR Age: 62 Job: Local government officer Location: Swansea Fiona has never applied for anything like The Traitors before, but decided to take the leap as she enjoys watching the show. She explained: "I think it's the most authentic reality TV show, and I'm not big into reality TV. I think because it's a game which requires a lot of tact and a lot of psychological manoeuvres, it just appealed to me." Jessie Age: 28 Job: Hairstylist Location: Hull Jessie applied for The Traitors to challenge herself and allow her to meet new people. "I know it will test me," she said. "Which is good and what I need." Rachel - TRAITOR Age: 42 Job: Head of communications Location: County Down Rachel has played the game Mafia for 15 years and is a competitive person "through and through", and so she thought to give The Traitors a go. She said: "I will do anything to win. Nothing's off the table. I'm very good at knowing the difference between reality and a game." Amanda Age: 57 Job: Retired police detective Location: Brighton Amanda was immediately drawn to the game when she first watched The Traitors and thought it was something she could win. Having been a detective, she has done lots of interviews with criminals and victims, and is able to "put the pieces together to find the truth and see through the lies". She added: "To be a Traitor, you have to be good at lying, have a good poker face and be a master of deflection to prevent you being identified. I’ve learned a lot about being deceptive, devious and cunning. "On the other side of the coin, I am a good person, and I became a police officer to help people. You have to be nice and calm, even when there's a big storm around you. I’d bring all these skills into the game, whichever role I am assigned." Hugo - TRAITOR Age: 51 Job: Barrister Location: London Hugo is admittedly "obsessed with The Traitors" and has seen every episodes across the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand formats, adding that he finds it to be "such a fascinating game". He said: "I’m a barrister so I talk to juries, but they go off and make the decisions in a quiet room so I never get to see it, but this, you just think, how could you be so wrong? I can't take my eyes off it, I love it." Jade Age: 25 Job: PhD Student Location: West Midlands Jade plays a lot of video games which are similar to The Traitors so she thought "why would I not?" when she had the chance to apply for the show. Sam Age: 34 Job: Account manager Location: North Yorkshire Sam has been a big fan of The Traitors, describing the show as "a breath of fresh air and authentic fun, but also a tonne of emotions, gameplay and competitiveness". He explained: "It really kind of suits my character and I'm at the stage in my life now where I just want to have as many amazing experiences as possible. I applied on a whim, and then suddenly we're here." Adam Age: 34 Job: Builder Location: Essex Adam loves a contest and the thought of being able to outthink people excites him, and he's ready to win the game. "That's it, simple," he said. "I'll play whatever hand I need to play and that's it." Reece Age: 27 Job: Sweet shop assistant Location: Sheffield Reece has always been competitive and signed up for the show, because how many people can say they've been on The Traitors? "I don’t think I’ve done anything in my life which is so unique, and because I also have that competitive edge, I’m excited to see what I’m able to do," he explained. Maz Age: 59 Job: Civil servant Location: Preston Maz loves the essence of The Traitors, whether it be the missions, the conversations or the relationships made in the game, and so he applied. "I'm 59 and I've done various things in my life, so I feel as though I've got good life experience," he added. "I'm told that I'm good to get on with and I'm funny - my kids say I'm funny looking. I think I can bring some humour, some chilled out moments, some interesting thoughts, and I think I will be able to add to the jigsaw of the game." Faraaz Age: 22 Job: Internal auditor Location: Middlesbrough Faraaz applied for The Traitors as he is a "huge fan" and after watching series one, he thought it would be something he'd love to be part of and immerse himself in. Roxy Age: 32 Job: Recruiter Location: Amsterdam The first six years of Roxy's life were rocky and, for her, having lived experiences of adapting to different situations, meeting new people and figuring out who to trust she believes will take her really far on the show. Matthew Age: 35 Job: Creative director Location: Edinburgh Matthew's new year's resolution was to have more adventures and while he meant more hiking, canoe trips and camping, he also gave a chance on applying for The Traitors. Jack Age: 29 Job: Personal trainer Location: Essex Jack is a "massive fan" of The Traitors and wanted to do something that meant he'd have to step outside of his comfort zone. Whether it's a mission or the roundtable, Jack believes you need to be "so switched on regardless of whether you're a Traitor or a Faithful". "It just takes one slip up and you could be gone," he said. "You've got to be so locked in both physically and mentally." Ben Age: 66 Job: Retired Location: Hampshire Ben was "intrigued" after watching The Traitors, having never seen anything like it. "I was taken in totally and kept saying it's like Columbo and Agatha Christie looking for Judas Iscariot." James Age: 38 Job: Gardener Location: Weymouth James didn't start watching The Traitors until the second season "because people nagged [him]". He has a desire to play the game well, and is joining the show "with a passion for the game and sort of geeky vibes". "It's like a beautiful lovechild of Midsomer Murders and poker," he said. The Traitors season 4 continues on Friday 16th January at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer. Seasons 1-3 are available to watch on iPlayer.

**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 4** The Traitors took a risk last night (16th January) with their next murder - killing someone the faithful trust but potentially casting suspicion on them. Later on, pressure mounted at the roundtable as one player faced their fate and was banished from the castle. So, did the Traitors' gamble pay off and who was voted to leave the game? Read on to find out more about the murdered and banished contestants in The Traitors season 4. Who has been murdered or banished from The Traitors season 4 so far? Ellie - BANISHED in episode 9 Finally, as the episode drew to a close, Ellie found herself under fire from multiple players, as per the design of Rachel and Stephen. In the end, Ellie accrued the most votes and was banished - but not before revealing her secret: she was Ross's girlfriend! "Oh, it's really sad to have got so far but not quite to the end," said Ellie. "I gave it my best shot, and I hope Ross is proud of me. I was sad to go, but happy to go back home to Ross." She added, "Even though I thought I wanted to be a Traitor, what I understood as soon as the game started was that it would have been a terrible idea for me. I already felt the pressure in the game, and adding being a Traitor might have been too much. It was much more relaxing to be a Faithful and to just have a really simple mission to root out the Traitors." Jessie - 'MURDERED' in episode 9 Given that no one suspected her of being a traitor and the heat she was placing on Stephen, the Traitors chose to 'murder' Jessie in a bold move at the start of the episode. Speaking after her exit, Jessie said of Stephen: "He and I really got on, but something in him changed. A little bit. I just felt like he did look like he was on edge quite a lot. I really love him, we do get on famously, and I knew that if he wasn't there, I wouldn’t laugh as much, but I couldn’t deny the clues really. I couldn’t get past the moment of Ben saying ‘if I don't come back, then it's Ross’ and Stephen was in that room! "I really trusted James and Ellie, so that kind of put them out of my suspicions. And then he was in one of the cages and came back. I just picked up on a few things…" She added: "I am happy that I ended on a high going all out on Stephen. I also love who I've met, the friendships made are great, we’ve just all made really good bonds, and I love that. I love that I was able to tell people my name, because I was really scared about that, and then I did it and I was really pleased." Sam - BANISHED in episode 8 All fingers were pointed at Sam during the roundtable and the players were left disheartened when he revealed that he was a Faithful, and been all along. Speaking of how it felt to be leaving the game, Sam said: "I think by that point, after however many roundtables of just getting grilled, you get to a stage where you know your time's up. You start walking around the castle into different rooms of people and suddenly their conversation stops and you think 'Well, that was definitely about me!' "I remember thinking the writing was on the wall for me here. There's only so long you can fight for, and I think I swerved it a few times. I remember Matt turning to me on one of the Round Tables and asking how I have dodged so much heat. I'm so happy I did it and I'm so happy I stayed in as long as I did, but I think it was my time to leave." Adam - 'MURDERED' in episode 8 The Traitors chose to murder Adam, not knowing if he was protected by a shield or not. Thankfully for them but not so much for Adam, he was unprotected and therefore eliminated from the game. "I feel like I was done at that particular time," Adam said of leaving the game. "I didn't get any heat, really, but it was so exhausting trying to understand and read people and every little movement. To be honest, I was in my own little world most of the time and people maybe thought I wasn’t getting very much but it was all going in. When Harriet left, I did start opening up more." Harriet - BANISHED in episode 7 Harriet put her neck on the line at the roundtable, asking the group to call her bluff, which saw her banished from the castle and revealed to be a Faithful. Asked how it felt to be leaving the game, Harriet said: "On the one hand, I’m gutted not to have got further. I haven't won therefore I've lost so it's hard not to see it that way, but on the other hand, I could not have asked for more action! I was given some opportunities there, I created other opportunities for myself and as I said, Faithfuls have very little control. "In all of that I managed to find a way of fighting as myself and leaving on my own terms and I really don't think many other people who've been through the game can say that. If I were to swap with being there in the final but being duped, I'd take my short-lived game any day." Fiona - BANISHED in episode 6 After majority of the players grew suspicious of Fiona, her time in the castle came to an end as she received the most votes at the roundtable. Asked how it felt to be leaving the game, Fiona said: "I wasn't delighted to be leaving, but I was really the master of my own downfall because I needed to confront Rachel just to be sure in my own mind that she was a team player and not playing singularly. "The action I took was to get it all out in the open and I felt at the time it was my only chance as Rachel was such a formidable player and I didn’t think I’d have another opportunity to put her name to the group as a potential Traitor." Reece - 'MURDERED' in episode 6 Begrudgingly, the three Traitors all reconvened in the turret to decide who should be murdered. After much deliberation, they decided it should be Reece, a player who had grown slightly deflated at his name being thrown around at the roundtable. "On reflection, the experience was the absolute best thing I've ever done," Reece said of leaving the game. "But come the end of it, I felt like people didn’t want to believe me so what more could I do? I trust the people left in the game will carry whatever words I left with wisdom and use it to find the Traitors. I think I very much bowed out when I needed to." Amanda - BANISHED in episode 5 Unfortunately for Amanda, she chose the empty chest and was therefore banished from the castle. Reflecting on her time in the castle, Amanda admitted she didn't think her work background helped her in the castle and instead, hindered her. "I think it hindered me by giving me too much confidence, especially at the roundtable," she said. "That just felt like meetings I've been in for many years, so I didn't find the roundtable intimidating." Maz - 'MURDERED' in episode 5 In the opening moments of the fifth episode, it was revealed that Maz had been left in the cage and in turn, was murdered by the Traitors. He certainly didn't see it coming, and told both Rachel and Fiona they were playing a blinder. "I really enjoyed being there, I enjoyed people's company and I was really enjoying trying to figure out who the Traitors were," he said. "I am a tad disappointed that I didn't stay a bit longer to try and prove my suspicions as I think I had good suspicions, but I can’t fault any of my time there." Ross - BANISHED in episode 4 Ross became the third contestant to be banished from the Traitors castle, after Claudia Winkleman delivered a major twist that the roundtable would take place before the mission. Upon his exit, it was also revealed that he was in a relationship with fellow player Ellie, which plenty of viewers had worked out thanks to a slip up on social media. Asked how it felt to be leaving the castle, Ross said: "It's bittersweet. I thought to myself, ‘would you rather stay in longer and be in the background, or would you rather burn bright and go out in a blaze of glory?’ and I genuinely feel like I did. I'm really happy with myself; I don't think I could have done any better." Hugo – BANISHED in episode 3 Hugo became the third banished player – and the first traitor to be caught – in episode 3. The barrister had ironically incriminated himself with an outburst at breakfast over Ben's murder that many people deemed to be suspicious, but the final straw was an eviscerating argument put forward by Harriet at the roundtable. Ben – 'MURDERED' in episode 3 Ben was the second victim of the Traitors' deadly scheming, with the treacherous trio believing that his death would send even more suspicion in the direction of Ross. That's because Ben had expressed doubts over Ross before leaving the castle on his last night, which was a useful detail picked up by Stephen, who happened to be in the room at the time. Judy - BANISHED in episode 2 Judy became the first victim of The Traitors roundtable, as she received the most votes from the Faithful. Based on her supposed change in behaviour, the Faithful believed Judy was a Traitor, but they couldn't have been more wrong... "It was incredible. I was pinching myself and thinking, is this really happening? It was just amazing," Judy said of being on the show. "Everyone was lovely. Such a range of people, a really different mix but what we all had in common was that we were all nervous. I thought, let's just take it step by step and see how it's going to go." Netty - 'MURDERED' in episode 2 After viewers were left on a cliffhanger at the end of episode 1, the Traitors had to choose between three players to murder and they ultimately decided Netty's time in the castle was up. Her murder shocked the rest of the Faithful, which ultimately led to suspicion falling on Ross, who had admitted he had hoped to keep it a secret that he knew Netty prior to the show... Asked how it felt to be leaving the game so early on, Netty said: "Bittersweet. I didn't have the time that I had hoped to have, but I think I've had the time I was meant to have. I've had the experience that it should have been for me, and I get to watch it as a viewer now, not knowing what's going to come."

Everything The Traitors gets right about disability and neurodivergence – and what it doesn't
As a neurodivergent and chronically ill fan of The Traitors, it has always been so impressive to see such inclusive casting with thoughtful storytelling in the edit.
Disability representation in television is still on the come-up, and often done badly to this day: full of pity, ableism or inspiration porn. But ever since its first season, The Traitors UK has continually seemed to buck that trend. Each season has seen multiple disabled and neurodivergent cast members with a variety of experiences, and their stories are generally handled sensitively, with all of them included in the show as easily as anyone else. On mainstream, primetime television, The Traitors is being quietly revolutionary when it comes to showing disabled people on screen. Viewers get to see the breadth of ways that disability and neurodivergence can look, instead of just one version. Across all the seasons, casual representation is done extremely well – disability is allowed to be part of the person’s story, and is allowed to be key to their identity, but this is done without it being all they are allowed to be. We often do not find out about someone's disability until a fair amount into the series, when their personality has been established and they are part of the wider story we are viewing. As disabled people, this is so often what we want and do not receive: our disability being acknowledged and not dismissed, but also being able to be ourselves. Various disabilities (that have often been left out of other shows due to the physical missions) have been seen across the four seasons, including season 1 winner Meryl, who has dwarfism, and multiple individuals with limb differences, such as season 2 runner-up Mollie. In the case of Mollie, we hear her note in one of the missions that "it’s a blessing to have one hand" as she slips out of the ropes. Commenting on the inclusion of those with limb differences, Steve Haynes – trustee at the charity Reach – said: "At Reach charity, we are delighted to see Upper Limb Difference (ULD) represented on The Traitors. "Historically, many adults with ULD tell us they grew up never seeing anyone who looked like them on television or in public life and that absence can quietly shape confidence and self-belief. For many, finding others through Reach later in life has been profoundly affirming. "For children with ULD, representation really matters. You have to see it to be it. Having visible, capable and confident role models like Mollie and Netty helps normalise difference and fosters confidence and positivity, not just for disabled viewers but for society as a whole. "Seeing disabled people portrayed as complex, strategic and human, rather than defined by an impairment, increases understanding and challenges assumptions." This season, we are seeing The Traitors trailblaze in disability representation once again, this time showing someone with a stammer, which is unfortunately still a rarity on television. It has been so important to see none of the contestants attempting to speak over Jessie, rushing her or trying to finish her sentences for her. Like many of the other disabled contestants, she has also been seen to be hilarious and incisive with her takes. This is what the show gets so right in comparison to so many others: disabled people being seen as their entire selves, just like anyone else. Alison Kerry, head of communications at disability charity Scope, said: "Millions of people across the UK are tuning in to The Traitors. But away from the drama, the series might be the first time viewers engage with someone with a stammer, building understanding. "Jessie is just one of the contestants across four series of The Traitors who has spoken about their condition or impairment and brought their real-life experiences to the screen. "Disability representation on TV is so important. It helps to break down barriers, transforms attitudes, and gives viewers a greater understanding of the lives, talent, and potential of disabled people." On the other hand, it is still necessary to discuss the pitfalls the BBC can fall into when it comes to disabled representation, and what it could improve. One of these issues is that there are still groups of disabled people that are left unrepresented, in particular wheelchair and mobility aid users. It is easy to argue that this would be impossible due to the physical nature of the missions, but this is where accessible design comes into play. Wheelchair users could be included through there being more psychological missions, or through there being multiple different kinds of roles in a mission, seamlessly integrating those with physical disabilities. Those with Energy Limiting Conditions are also largely lacking in representation. This would demand commitment from the BBC to switch up certain aspects of the show – but in a show defined by the idea that you don’t know what’s coming next, that should not be seen as a bad thing. Some of the issues the show still sees are instigated by the nature of unconscious bias across society: many of the disabled and neurodivergent people featured across the four seasons have been seen as suspicious early on for seemingly little reason. In the very first episode, Faithful Nicky was decided to be suspect, and became the first banishment for not raising her glass – except she had a limb difference, meaning she could not. In season 1, many viewers were shocked to see how uncomfortably Aaron was treated while having a panic attack. Aaron has ADHD, which for many leads to being dysregulated by criticism and being more susceptible to becoming overwhelmed in difficult situations. His fellow players jumped on his reactions as guilt – and though he went on to win the show, he was treated continually with severe suspicion throughout for things like asking too many questions and being excitable. View oEmbed on the source website He is not the only example of neurodivergent people being seen as suspicious by virtue of their differences, either – Faithful Dan, from season 3, spoke about his autism diagnosis on the show and talked extensively about playing his game from a differing perspective to most, self-describing his "self-interested" game and being unwavering in this. This was ultimately his downfall after lying about his role in a mission. Some would argue that this is not about bias, it is simply perception by the other players that cannot be helped. But this is symptomatic of a wider problem in society, played out in the microcosm of the show, where disabled and neurodivergent people are continually still ostracised and seen as suspect. The BBC giving players a better understanding of their possible biases before playing could be one move towards changing this. The BBC is simultaneously showing how representation should be done and showing the glaring gaps and societal stigma that can still remain when it comes to inclusive television. As a neurodivergent and chronically ill fan of The Traitors, it has always been so impressive to see such inclusive casting with thoughtful storytelling in the edit. But it is worth asking: how can the show continue to push the boundaries when it comes to including this community?

Fallout franchise confirmed to be getting reality series from the makers of The Traitors
Reality television, reality television never changes...
Amazon has announced Fallout Shelter, an unscripted reality competition series from the team behind The Traitors, based on the iconic vaults from Fallout operated by the huge Vault-Tec Corporation, which ran experiments on unwitting dwellers. It’s a natural fit, as the kind of “experiments” that Vault-Tec ran are perfect fodder for reality TV. Some examples from the games are Vault 11, in which Vault-Tec stipulated that every year, a dweller had to be sacrificed or the Vault would cease to function, which was, of course, a lie and Vault 21, whose entire society was based on gambling. Fallout Shelter won’t be putting anyone in any real danger, but what The Traitors, produced by Studio Lambert, has shown us is that millions of us around the world love to witness well-intentioned people become unscrupulous and betray themselves and those around them. Perhaps Vault-Tec shenanigans aren’t quite the far-fetched satire we always thought them to be… As for the Amazon Prime-helmed show itself, it will be set inside a recreation of a Vault, and will feature “a series of escalating challenges, strategic dilemmas, and moral crossroads”, and those chosen to participate must “prove their ingenuity, teamwork, and resilience as they compete for safety, power, and ultimately a huge cash prize". So far, so Fallout. Fallout Shelter will be co-produced by Kilter Films (Westworld, Fallout) and in association with Bethesda Game Studios, who have been the Fallout IP holders since Fallout 3, after acquiring the rights from Interplay Entertainment in 2007. If you reckon you stand a chance, be it through teamwork or less savoury ways of survival, then you can sign up on the Fallout Shelter casting website With Fallout season 2 in full-swing, you can do your homework by seeing how Lucy, with her "eroding" moral compass, adapts to the challenges of the wasteland, or alternatively, dip into the Fallout games, which offer up many hundreds of hours of dark humour and fun.

What happened between Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki after Love Island?
The couple met on the ITV reality show in 2023.
Whitney Adebayo is making a return to the Love Island villa, hoping for a second chance at love, as All Stars finally returns to screens tonight (15th January) after a brief delay. She first appeared on Love Island in 2023, entering as a bombshell and was a quick favourite among fans, notably for her one-liners and talent show performance. It was on this series she met Lochan Nowacki, who entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell. The pair quickly fell in love and placed as runners-up, so it was quite the shock to fans when after almost two years of being together, the pair announced they had gone their separate ways. Lochan has since got into a new relationship, while Whitney is headed into the villa and is looking forward "to being in a bikini every day, dating guys, in good company... it’s a good time to forget about the world". She added: "There’s always something! And to take a break from the world, how many people can say they took a great break from the world? Twice!" So, why did Whitney and Lochan break up and what have they had to say about it? Read on to find out more. What happened between Whitney and Lochan and why did they break up? Whitney and Lochan were firm fan favourites during their time on Love Island in 2023, but after just under two years together, in April 2025, the pair announced they had split up. "Hey guys, Unfortunately mine and Lochan's relationship has come to an end," Whitney wrote on her Instagram Stories. "Thank you for all the love and support that you've shown us through our journey, we're forever grateful." Lochan shared the same statement to his Instagram Stories. During an episode of her podcast, Whitney hinted that the reason behind her split from Lochan was because: "Some people don’t wanna compromise." She claimed that in her previous relationship, her former partner "came over" and told her how much she had changed. Whitney recalled how he said: "I’ve seen how much you’ve changed, and you’re becoming like the woman that we always spoke about you becoming. And I’m just not willing to do that." She added: "I was bamboozled. This is the person that you told me you wanted." Three months after they announced they had split up, Whitney shared a TikTok in which she said she had "fallen in love with the skin he used to call dirty". The alleged comment led to fan speculation as to who Whitney was referring to, which led to Lochan denying he had made such a remark. "I want to first off say, I've never called anyone's skin dirty and I would never," he shared in a lengthy TikTok video. Sharing his version of events, Lochan explained: "About a year into my relationship with Whit, we were on a walk close to my flat. She got her nails done, and she, you know, annoyingly put her nails in my face and was like, 'Oh, my hands are so clean. My hands are so clean. Yours aren't,' And I was like, 'No, they're not'. "And, you know, I was kind of just annoyed that her hands were in my face. But it was a very off the cuff remark. I just said, 'No, they're not,' and, you know, she looked at me in shock and was like, 'You're calling me dirty?'" He added: "And, you know, I was taken back by that. I was, you know, I felt insulted that my girlfriend, who I loved, who knows me, who knows that I would never insinuate something like that is, you know, calling me a racist and saying, 'You're calling my skin dirty'." After Lochan shared this video, Whitney responded with her timeline of events, adding: "We were walking back from lunch, going back to his place, and I was in the sun, and I was like, 'Babe, look how my skin glistens in the sun'. And he looked at me and he was like, 'Ugh, it's dirty'. "And then only when I lashed out, he was like, 'It was a joke, it was a joke'. And he was crying." It was then reported by The Sun that Lochan had taken legal action against Whitney, later sharing a statement that he felt he had "no other choice". It read: "A series of posts have been released making defamatory comments about my family, friends and I. I never wanted things to reach this stage, and I did try to take this situation through to resolution. I felt I was left with no other choice but to take this course of action." It continued: "Taking this step was not about taking anything from Whitney, it's about protection, it's about clearing the serious reputational damage that has been caused to me and my family. For the avoidance of doubt, I categorically deny and refute the information that has been spread about my family and myself online. "I have no desire to prolong this situation. More than anything, I want to close this down and for us both to move forward separately." View oEmbed on the source website Upon the news that Lochan was taking legal action, a spokesperson for Whitney said at the time: "Whitney has instructed her own legal team and is very confident in her position. If any claim is issued by Mr Nowacki, it will be vigorously defended." However, The Sun reported last month that the pair had ended any legal dispute and had come to agreement. Speaking ahead of the new All-Stars season, Whitney was asked by reporters about the case, to which she replied (via The Mirror): "I've never had a court case so this is genuinely news to me. I've just been focusing on my business – my hair business, my podcast. No, no court case." Love Island: All Stars returns on Thursday 15th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

What happened between Millie Court and Liam Reardon and why did they split up?
Love Island: All Stars is back for a third season and the 12 contestants made up of former faces has now been confirmed, with Millie Court amongst them. Millie first appeared on Love Island in 2021 where she won the show coupled up with Liam Reardon, and the pair quickly became one of the most loved couples in the show's history. But there was trouble in paradise for the Love Island winners as the pair broke up, not once but twice. Now, as Millie Court jets off to sunny South Africa to once again enter the Love Island villa for the All Stars show, it's time to discover exactly what happened between Mille and Liam and why they split up. What happened between Millie and Liam and why did they break up? Liam was an OG Islander on season 7 of Love Island in 2021 and Millie entered as a bombshell a few days later. The pair remained coupled up throughout their time in the villa, with just a slight indiscretion from Liam when he kissed Lillie Haynes in Casa Amor. Though, Millie quickly forgave him and the pair went on to win the season and split the £50,000 prize money. After leaving the villa, Millie and Liam seemed to go from strength to strength. They regularly attended events together, shared photos of each other on their social media and were quick to move in with one another in their Essex home. However, the news of the pair first splitting up came from a statement from Millie in July 2022, around a year after they met on Love Island. In a statement posted to her Instagram account, Millie wrote: "Liam and I have decided to part ways. We both care about each other a lot, but we feel it's best to focus on ourselves and our individual growth." Liam then went on to share his statement on Instagram, emphasising that the break-up was mutual and amicable: "I will remain Millie's biggest supporter in all that she does and I know she will also do amazing. "We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next. Again I just want to thank you all for supporting us on what's been an incredible journey." Liam then confirmed he had moved out of their joint Essex house back to Wales whilst Millie kept living there until late 2022 before moving in with fellow Islander Chloe Burrows. Speaking at that time of how he was dealing with the break-up, Liam said in an Instagram Q&A response: "Break-ups can be very hard and being in the public eye just make it that extra bit more difficult to deal with especially when you have rumours etc coming out and people judging your character off something which isn’t true." He continued: "But I've been down and when you’re down you can either stay down or do what you can to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move forward. And that's what I'm doing." Did Millie and Liam get back together? The break-up seemed final when Liam appeared on Celebs Go Dating and Millie began being linked to Gogglebox star George Baggs, but in 2023, after about nine months since parting ways, the pair started spending time together again. Initially they were seen on a getaway in the Lake District, where they were spotted collecting a pizza from Domino's, then in May 2023 a cruise ship singer shared a selfie with the duo captioned: "Love Island winners – Liam and Millie are sailing with us around Europe this week – what lovely people!" which seemed to confirm the couple were back together. The duo never then explicitly confirmed their reunion but instead went for the soft launch approach; they began attending events together and posting couple photos on their social media. In October 2024 they launched a joint podcast called Liam & Millie where they chatted about their life and relationships. During this time, Liam remained living in Wales with Millie still in Essex and after a further two and a half years together they broke up for the second time in September 2025 with long-distance being the main issue. View oEmbed on the source website Neither of them ever addressed the break-up, instead an anonymous source told The Sun: "Millie and Liam have tried so hard to make their relationship work but unfortunately, the distance was just too difficult, and they have sadly ended their relationship for a second time." This time around, the split was allegedly initiated by Liam who "wasn't feeling it" anymore, according to a Daily Mail source. A few weeks ago, only three months after they broke up, Liam appeared to be hinting at a new romantic connection after he shared a post from a romantic weekend at the Park View Hotel in Cardiff. Now, Millie is going on the third season of Love Island: All Stars and has been exclaiming her gratitude for the experience she had on the show four years ago. "I’m still the same person that I was four years ago; I’m going to stay true to myself as I did the first time, enjoy it, do a bit of flirting... it’s all going to be fun vibes," she added.

The Traitors season 4 hits impressive new high in overnight ratings following Harriet Tyce's explosive scenes
**Warning: Contains spoilers for The Traitors season 4** The Traitors continues to go from strength to strength, with its fourth outing on BBC One pulling in impressive viewing figures. Last night's episode (14th January), saw Faithful Harriet sacrifice her place in the game as she asked the other players to call her bluff amidst her belief that Rachel was a Traitor, something the audience know to be the truth. In a shocking twist in the confession room, in which Harriet and Matthew were given the opportunity to speak to the Traitors, Harriet revealed her real profession before declaring that she was sure Rachel was a Traitor, and nothing would stop her from coming for her. The following morning, Harriet didn't hold back at breakfast or the roundtable. And viewers were certainly engaged, with the episode pulling in a peak audience of 8.1 million viewers, according to overnight ratings for BBC One. That is higher than the season 4 premiere's overnight viewership, which brought in an average of 6.4 million viewers. At the roundtable, Harriet laid out her case against Rachel before putting her neck on the line and asking the group to call her bluff – a gamble that saw her banished from the castle. "On the one hand, I’m gutted not to have got further. I haven't won therefore I've lost so it's hard not to see it that way, but on the other hand, I could not have asked for more action," Harriet said of leaving the game. "I was given some opportunities there, I created other opportunities for myself and as I said, Faithfuls have very little control. In all of that I managed to find a way of fighting as myself and leaving on my own terms and I really don't think many other people who've been through the game can say that. If I were to swap with being there in the final but being duped, I'd take my short-lived game any day." Read more: Love Island: All Stars 2026 finally gets new launch date confirmed after episodes delayed – and with a show first Dragons' Den season 23 confirms 2026 premiere for brand new episodes – and it's this month The Traitors season 4 continues on Thursday 15th January at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

All the Love Island couples still together – and those that have definitely split
We look at the couples who are still loved up – and those who have decided to call it quits – on Love Island.
A new season of Love Island: All Stars is upon us, with a new group of familiar faces primed and ready for a winter of love as they prepare to head back into the iconic villa, all hoping for a second chance at love. Last summer saw Toni Laites and Cach Mercer take home the prize, following on from All Stars champs Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, but there will be a new couple taking home the epic cash prize and title of winners in just six weeks. Once more, viewers will see former Islanders test their connections with one another in the hopes of finding their person and that things will materialise just as easily beyond the show. As this is Love Island, we all know that the ultimate test to their blossoming relationships is the reality of the outside world. Will heads continue to turn or will romance continue to blossom once the cameras have stopped rolling? It can really go either way. Most recently, season 8 stars Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope split up, which sent shockwaves across the Love Island community. So, where are all the Love Island couples right now? Here's what you need to know. Last updated: 15th January 2026 Love Island 2026 (summer) Toni Laites and Cach Mercer - Still together Despite having a rocky journey on Love Island, Toni and Cach went on to win the series have remained in a relationship ever since. A few weeks after winning the series, Toni had to return back to the US after her visa expired, making it unclear if her relationship with Cach was going to go the distance. But they have beaten all odds and Toni has since officially moved to the UK and has her own flat, and the couple are stronger than ever. Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley - Still together Shakira and Harry's Love Island romance was quite the rollercoaster. The pair often went back and forth with each other, often flirting while in different couples, but eventually they agreed to give things a go. The pair came in second place on the series and have since made things official and are boyfriend and girlfriend. The distance doesn't seem to be a problem either, with them both spending a lot of time together and featuring in videos on each other's respective social media channels. Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes - SPLIT Yasmin and Jamie came third on the 12th series of Love Island, but a month after the show concluded, they split up. After rumours spread that Yasmin had cheated on Jamie, they were both quick to put to bed any speculation. Yasmin said at the time: "Me and Jamie actually had split before the NTAs. It's all amicable and we're still really good friends. But I think obviously a lot of people were confused because we saw each other on the red carpet." While Jamie added: "Just before the NTAs, me and Yasmin had a chat and we decided that it was going to be best for us to go in separate directions. But we didn't fall out and we're still going to choose to remain friends." Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood - Still together Angel and Ty quietly came in fourth place on Love Island, after striking up a connection in the villa. Soon after they left the villa, Ty surprised Angel by asking her to be his girlfriend and they are going strong! In October 2025, the couple shared that they had moved into their first home together. Love Island: All Stars 2025 Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman - SPLIT While Gabby and Casey may have won Love Island: All Stars, their romance didn't last very long, with the pair announcing their split three months after leaving the villa. The pair released a joint statement via MailOnline, which read: "After much thoughtful consideration, Gabby and Casey have decided to go their separate ways romantically. This decision was mutual, and they both remain on good terms as friends with a shared respect for each other." A representative for Gabby added: "Gabby is grateful for the memories they've created together and wishes Casey nothing but the best as they both move forward on their individual journeys. She's excited for what the future holds and appreciates." Grace Jackson and Luca Bish - Still together Grace and Luca continue the theory that those who come in second place always last longer and are still in a relationship since their time in the villa. While they left the villa not in a relationship, Luca asked Grace to be his girlfriend in a fancy proposal during a holiday in Dubai. Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard - SPLIT Three months after the All Stars final, Ekin-Su and Curtis announced they had split in what had been described as "a really tough decision". Ekin-Su said in a statement: "He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa. Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. "We're both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, Ekin-Su Xx" Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame - SPLIT View oEmbed on the source website Catherine and Omar seemed like a hopeful couple while in the villa, but the pair never made it to the "boyfriend-girlfriend" stage according to The Sun. Elma Pazar and Sammy Root - SPLIT Elma and Sammy first met while filming The Only Way Is Essex, with any idea of a relationship completely unheard of, but after reuniting in the villa, their romance blossomed. But just four months after they reunited on All Stars, it was reported they had split, with the pair dishing what happened between them during a new series of TOWIE. Opening up about the split, Sammy told co-star Roman Hackett: "We went from high flying and perfect couple to just, I don't even really know what." But Elma told co-star Dani Imbert that she felt Sammy had become "comfortable", adding: "I think he got very used to the idea of like, 'Oh I could just go round to Elma and Courtney's and just chill there, quick takeaway, whatever. "And I just feel like I want to be wooed... I don't want to tell anyone how to be in a relationship, I just want it to happen. And I think as well, it's just we're different people." Love Island: 2024 (summer) Josh Oyinsan and Mimii Ngulube – SPLIT Josh and Mimii made history as the first Black couple to win Love Island in the show's history but just two months after their win, they announced they had split. In a post on Instagram, Mimii said she and Josh were "trying to figure it out since leaving the villa but unfortunately things aren't going to work out between us right now". Josh didn't immediately comment on their split until weeks later and told The Sun: "Mimii is just as busy as I am. I'm sure she's doing well whatever she is doing. I wish her the best and I hope she continues to thrive." Jess Spencer and Ayo Odukoya – SPLIT When Jess and Ayo became a couple in the villa, things were slightly rocky as in turn it meant Mimii was left single. After leaving the villa, it didn't appear that the boyfriend and girlfriend question had been popped, and months later Jess confirmed that they had split up. While not releasing statements confirming they had gone their separate way, Jess responded to a comment regarding Ayo needing to ask her to be his girlfriend and wrote: "Girl says who?? The internet?? He doesn't need to ask me anything because we're not together. Let it go." Sean Stone and Matilda Draper – SPLIT Matilda and Sean broke up just three weeks after leaving the final, with their busy schedules being the reason for their split. The pair wrote on their Instagram Stories in August 2024 that they had gone their separate ways. Just wanted to come on here to tell you guys that Matilda and I have decided to part ways," Sean wrote. "We are good friends & I'm so grateful to have shared such an incredible experience with her. "We appreciate all of your support throughout our time together and all the love you have shown us both we both believe this is the best step for us moving forward. Love you all." Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies – SPLIT Nicole and Ciaran left the villa as boyfriend and girlfriend but just four months after their time in the villa came to an end, they split up. Fans originally speculated the pair went their separate ways after they seemed distant in a video posted on social media. Soon after, a representative for the pair confirmed to The Sun: "Over the last couple of days Nicole and Ciaran have made the mutual decision to part ways. They have left the relationship on amicable terms, and will remain good friends going forward." Love Island: All Stars 2024 Molly and Tom - Still together Molly Smith and Tom Clare were named the first ever winners of the Love Island: All Stars season. The couple took home a whopping £50,000 cash prize, which they split. The couple are now engaged, and there will be some Love Island nods on the big day, with Casey O'Gorman being Tom's best man. During a recent event, Tom told press: "I've met a best mate through [the show] and he’s actually going to be my best man. I have told him that my family’s going to be there for the speech, he said he’s got a Powerpoint." Sophie and Josh - Still together Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie had a few testing moments while in the villa together but they are still together! The pair continue to update fans with their relationship with lavish trips abroad and loved up pictures. Georgia S and Toby - SPLIT Georgia Steel and Toby had a rocky journey on All Stars earlier this year but seemed to be going strong after the final. However, just weeks after the show, they announced they had gone their separate ways. Georgia confirmed the news in a post to her Instagram story. "After seeing the reports regarding my relationship with Toby I feel it's only right for me to be transparent and truthful with you all," she said. "It is true Toby has called things off. It has taken me by complete surprise and I’m still trying to process it and come to terms with it all. They say some people are in your life for a lifetime and some just for a chapter." Georgia H and Anton - SPLIT Georgia Harrison and Anton Danyluk made it all the way All Stars final, but weeks after speculation of their romance, they split up. "Georgia and Anton have split. They really tried hard to make the relationship work but ultimately the distance proved to much to manage," a source told The Sun. However, Anton appears to have moved on after debuting his new relationship at the BAFTA TV Awards. Love Island: 2023 (summer) Tyrique and Ella T - SPLIT Probably the villa's most argumentative couple, Ella and Tyrique have weathered many a storm in their relationship, with the most recent being Ella B's flirtatious arrival and beeline for Ty. Despite all the bumps in the road, the couple were the first to tell each other they loved each other and are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend. However, six months after making it to the final, the pair went their separate ways. Whitney and Lochan - SPLIT This year's arguably favourite islander, Whitney, hit things off with Lochan later on in Casa Amor, and since then, the pair have become the easygoing couple of the villa. While things appeared to be going strong, Whitney and Lochan announced that they had split up in April 2025. Lochan wrote on Instagram: "Unfortunately Whitney and I's relationship has come to an end. Thank you for all the love and support that you've shown us through our journey, we're forever grateful." Jess and Sammy - SPLIT Despite their fair share of problems and recouplings, Sammy and Jess made it to this year's final more loved up than ever. Sammy was the first boy to ask a girl to be his girlfriend in the villa and the pair seemed to be plain-sailing, despite their past of fiery arguments. Unfortunately, the pair just couldn't make it work on the outside, and have since split up. Molly and Zachariah - SPLIT Going into the final together, Zach and Molly were very much the couple where opposites do seem to attract. Despite being shockingly dumped from the villa earlier on in this season, Molly returned in Casa Amor week to claim Zach back. The pair resolved their differences, with Molly later gifting Zach a bracelet she got in the airport as a token of her affection. The pair have been realistic about the fact they live far apart – Molly lives in Doncaster and Zach lives in south London – but they seem intent on making things work, especially after the 'Meet the Parents' episode where their families seemed to approve. The couple made their relationship work, but after two years they split up. Molly told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15089317/Love-Islands-Molly-Marsh-breaks-silence-split-boyfriend-Zachariah-Noble.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Daily Mail (opens in a new tab)" data-nyp-affiliate="true" data-mrf-link="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15089317/Love-Islands-Molly-Marsh-breaks-silence-split-boyfriend-Zachariah-Noble.html">Daily Mail of the break-up: "Navigating my breakup from Zach has been one of the hardest things I have faced, something I have not spoken much about publicly. "It has been emotional, challenging, and deeply personal, but through it all, I believe everything happens for a reason." Ella B and Mitchel - SPLIT Not quite making it to the final, Mitchel and Ella B were the last couple to be voted out of the villa before the anticipated summer 2023 final. They had more than their fair share of drama with Abi and Mitchel continuing to argue over their previous relationship and Ella B awkwardly caught in the middle. But the awkwardness continued as Mitchel confided in the boys ahead of his final romantic date with Ella B that he thinks she's 'fake'. While the pair left the villa in a couple, they later announced they had split up, with Mitch writing on Instagram: "As you have most likely seen Ella's post sadly our relationship has come to an end. "We had no intentions of ending but with our busy lives at the moment and living the other side of the country it made it extremely hard for it to work. I wish Ella nothing but the best as she is a lovely girl and deserves the world." Leah and Montel - SPLIT Despite appearing very much loved up in the villa, Leah and Montel have split up just two weeks after being dumped from the villa. Although the pair had a few hiccups in the villa, Montel made a very public declaration about his feelings for Leah after kissing Tink in Casa Amor. Leah revealed to OK! that "coming out we went on one date but it's just one of those, it hasn't worked out". She said: "I don't think there was a standout point really, it was more just realising that I don't see this as a long-term thing between us both." Catherine and Elom - SPLIT In a surprise text, Catherine and Elom were voted out of the villa before Leah and Montel were also dumped. While the pair were going from strength to strength when they met in Casa Amor, Elom did admit that he would want to get to know a bombshell in the villa. Now in the outside world, Elom and Catherine have quickly revealed that they aren't dating or pursuing things, with Catherine stating that "early on we decided that we were going to be friends." Kady and Ouzy - SPLIT Having come into the villa as a returning bombshell, Kady wasted no time in getting to know the boys and hit things off with Zachariah, who was coupled up with Molly at the time. In a surprise recoupling, Kady was asked to couple up with a boy of her choosing and chose Zach, immediately leading to Molly's dumping from the villa. Casa Amor provided many a plot twist with Molly returning to the villa and Kady not seeing a future with any of the new boys. But returning to the villa by herself, Kady soon had eyes for Ouzy, who was previously coupled up with Ella. The pair hit it off and were dumped from the villa and split up soon after they returned to the outside world. Love Island: 2023 (winter) Kai and Sanam - Married The winter Love Island champions (and the first winning couple in the series' history to come from Casa Amor) are still going strong. Kai shared a sweet message on Instagram to mark Sanam's 25th birthday, describing her as "the most amazing, beautiful girl I have ever met". "I feel so grateful to have you in my life," he added. "Can’t wait to celebrate many more birthdays with you." Aren't they sweet? As of 2026, the pair are now married! Ron and Lana - SPLIT They coupled up on day one and made it all the way to the Love Island final. Ron and Lana's relationship seemed as strong as ever, and they managed to make things work long distance, with Ron based in Essex and Lana up in Manchester. But despite them being a solid couple outside the villa, the pair have now split. Although the pair recently just went away on holiday together, apparently the distance was too much for them according to a source, who retain that the couple are "still good friends". Tom and Samie - SPLIT Finalists Samie and Tom announced their split in April, just weeks after making things official. "Didn’t think I’d be writing this but me and Samie have gone our separate ways," Tom wrote on Instagram. "We are still on good terms and I have nothing but love and respect for her," he added. "I’m gutted it’s come to an end but I truly wish Samie the best." Shaq and Tanya - SPLIT Tanya and Shaq came in fourth place in the winter season of Love Island in 2023, but a year later, they announced they had split. Fans began to notice that photos of pair had disappeared from each other's Instagram pages before they unfollowed each other. Tanya spoke about their break up for the first time in December 2024 during a podcast with former Islander Kaz Kamwi. Tanya said: "I feel like from him, he needed to mature a little bit because guys mature very slowly. “And then I feel like he was having his epiphany of maturing in our relationship, but then it’s at the expense of my feelings that you’re maturing and it’s not good enough. We lived together. I've never wanted to live with a guy, like ever. "Before Shaq I was with someone for three years, he was literally like, 'Let’s get a house together'. He was ready to just do it but I said no." Will and Jessie - Engaged While many Love Island couples find themselves dealing with the prospect of a long distance relationship when they leave the villa, none faced quite such a huge distance as Will and Jessie, who hails from Australia. Since they left the dating show, though, they seem to have managed to make things work, with Jessie staying with Will's family on their farm. Both Jessie and Will have been back to Australia, with the pair spending time there with Jessie's family and equal time in the UK with Will's. At the beginning of 2026, the pair announced they were engaged! Will shared in a sweet Instagram post: "The best day of my life.. she said yes. I wish we could relive this moment again and again, it makes my heart melt even looking at the video. "When proposing to Jessie I wanted to capture everything, every emotion, every feeling and every step of the way. Not only for us to look back on, but to show our future children the day we got engaged." Casey and Rosie - SPLIT After just missing out on the final, Casey and Rosie couldn't make things work and ended up announcing their split just two weeks after leaving the villa. "Life outside the villa is just very different and we will remain friends moving forward," Casey told a fan on social media. Olivia and Maxwell - SPLIT Things didn't last long for Olivia and Maxwell after their time on Love Island finished, and the couple decided to call it quits at the start of April. “Things weren’t the same between Olivia and Maxwell after they left the villa," a representative for Olivia confirmed. "Life has been hectic and they both decided it was best to end things.Olivia is happy to focus on herself right now and has a lot of exciting work projects coming up, including a role in the next Fast & Furious movie. “It’s sad it didn’t work out but there’s no hard feelings between them.” Love Island: 2022 Gemma and Luca - SPLIT They had their ups and downs in the villa, but Gemma and Luca left the show very much on. They later made their relationship official, with Luca setting up a grand proposal for Gemma as he decorated her home and pool with red roses, candles and balloons. He even sealed the deal by gifting his girl a £7,000 Cartier bracelet. Unfortunately, the pair are no longer together after announcing their break-up on 16th November. In a statement announcing their split, Gemma wrote: "To all my followers, I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. "It wasn't an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both of us right now. Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning, and I wanted to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters." Ekin-Su and Davide - SPLIT Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide may have had one of the rockiest romances the show has ever seen, which included the pair arguing across the villa as Davide shouted his now iconic line, "Liar actress, go the f**k out!" at her, but they eventually made it to the end of the show together - and bagged £50,000 during the process. Following the show, things only got better for these two, who lived together and filmed their own TV show, Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings, which saw them visiting their native countries together. After a brief break-up over the summer, Davide and Ekin couldn't stay away from each other. But eventually, the pair broke up again, with Ekin-Su appearing on the latest season of All Stars and Davide now in a new relationship. Paige and Adam - SPLIT In a Love Island first, season 8 saw season 4 star Adam Collard return to the villa as a bombshell. And he caught the attention of paramedic Paige Thorne. Paige had been coupled up with Jacques O'Neill at the time, but after he suddenly left the villa, she cracked on with Adam. The two just missed out on the final, but made things official outside of the villa. They've since split however, following claims that Adam had been flirting with other girls (which Adam said had been "blown out of proportion"). Paige confirmed their split by deleting all traces of him from her social media back in October. Indiyah and Dami - SPLIT Indiyah and Dami had a few issues during their time on the show, as Dami decided to couple up with Summer Botwe after Casa Amor, despite having flirtations with Indiyah prior to the twist. Nevertheless, Indiyah moved on with Deji, and brought him back to the main villa, which caused a fiery exchange between her and Dami. The pair eventually got back together, and left the show in a relationship. While they moved in together and regularly posted cute couple videos and photos to their respective social media accounts, they have since split up. After a video circulated online of Indiyah allegedly kissing someone else, she addressed the rumours on her Instagram Stories and wrote: "I am aware of the video that has been shared online. "I made a mistake and I take full accountability for my actions. I understand the hurt this has caused. I won’t be commenting further." Tasha and Andrew - SPLIT It looked like things could be over for Tasha and Andrew after t*t-gate, but nevertheless the pair managed to make it to the final as a couple, after Tasha popped the question. It came as a massive shock when it was announced that Andrew and Tasha had split up, shortly after Tasha took part in Strictly Come Dancing. While neither made an official statement of their split, Andrew has moved out of their shared home and now lives in Dubai while rumours have circulated that Tasha has been dating someone new. Tasha later wrote on Instagram: "Break-ups happen in life, just because ours is in the public eye doesn’t make it any different. Spread kindness, also to Andrew because he’s also been getting messages." Danica and Jamie - SPLIT Danica and Jamie left the show together with the hopes of exploring things outside of the villa. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they managed to keep things going once filming stopped. They've both removed pictures of each other from their social media accounts, and Danica was pictured kissing The Only Way Is Essex star Roman Hackett in August. Love Island: 2021 Millie and Liam - SPLIT Buckle up, this one's a real rollercoaster. Despite a massive wobble in the form of Casa Amor bombshell Lillie, Millie and Liam were crowned the winners of Love Island 2021. In November 2021, they announced that they had purchased their first home together. A year after their stint on the show, they announced that they had made the "tough decision" to break up. "Hi everyone, to avoid any speculation Liam and I wanted to share with you that we have separated," Millie wrote on Instagram at the time. "Nothing will ever take away from the amazing experience we shared in Love Island and the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does. We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next." The couple did reconcile but have split once more and now, Millie is appearing on the 2026 edition of Love Island: All Stars. Kaz and Tyler - SPLIT Kaz and Tyler made it "exclusive" before they left the villa, and shortly afterwards, he asked her to be his girlfriend during a romantic bowling date with their close friends. Unfortunately, the pair split in December 2021, just three months after leaving the villa. "We are extremely sad to announce that we have decided to end our romantic relationship.We have had a fantastic journey and we will always have a special bond between us," the couple wrote in a joint statement. They added: "We will continue to be very much in one another's lives and support each other in every way. We are so grateful that we have shared this Love Island experience with each other, and we will continue to support each other's careers. Life since the villa has been amazing, but it’s taking time to adjust to a new normal in the public eye. This part of the journey hasn’t been easy for us but we’re learning. Thank you to every single person who has supported us, we appreciate you more than you will ever know." Chloe and Toby - SPLIT Their relationship was pretty on/off in the villa, but these two managed to make things work on the outside until October 2022. Chloe recently revealed that it was Toby who called it quits, and described the split as "the saddest time of my whole life". After the break-up, she moved in with her co-star Millie. Faye Winter and Teddy Soares - SPLIT There was lots of drama when it came to Feddy, but the pair managed to leave the show in third place and as boyfriend and girlfriend. Shortly after leaving the show, they moved in together and adopted a dog. However, the pair called time on their relationship in 2023. On 15th February that year, Faye took to social media to confirm their break-up following speculation from fans. "I wanted to let you know that after lots of time and consideration, Teddy and I have decided to go our separate ways," she wrote. "Thank you all so much for supporting our relationship and sharing the journey with us. I'm forever grateful." Liberty and Jake - SPLIT These two split way before the show ended, with Liberty quitting the show just days before the final as she realised Jake wasn't the one for her. The former couple reunited during Love Island: All Stars and while romance was not an option for either of them, they did have a civil conversations and put any drama to bed. Love Island: 2020 (Winter) Paige and Finn - SPLIT They were the first couple to make their romance official in the villa, with Finn reading out some romantic messages from his phone. And they later dropped the L-bomb during their love proposals at the show's prom. So it's little wonder Paige and Finn breezed into the finals and were voted as the Love Island 2020 winter winners. But after three years together, which saw them move into their own flat together in Manchester, the couple reportedly split in April. "Paige and Finn had a really good run, but they are still super young and decided it wasn't forever in the end," a source told The Sun, adding: "Paige is spending some time back in Scotland while she works out what she wants to do next." The pair did reunite on Ex on the Beach, but romance was not on the cards for the former couple. Siannise and Luke T - SPLIT They might not have come first place on the show, but the duo certainly won themselves a fairy tale romance. After fighting their way out of a love triangle - thanks to Wallace and Rebecca - they were completely inseparable. Their love proved to be mutual as they both remained single after Casa Amor, and despite a tiny wobble after Luke T got a bit excited about Siannise getting "naked" in the hideaway, they managed to put it behind them. From Luke asking her to be his girlfriend in the most romantic way, to the duo being the first couple to exchange those three, little words, it looked like Siannise and Luke could have something very serious. Outside the villa, things only grew stronger, with the pair moving into their North London pad together. In November 2021, however, the couple fuelled split rumours as Siannise shared a cryptic Instagram story with a quote from singer Summer Walker. Titled "Still Over It", the post read: "You don't have to guess if something is love. Love is shown through actions. Stop making excuses for people who don't show up for you. Don't ignore the red flags. And don't think you have to stay somewhere 'cause you can't find better - you can and you will." The pair are both in separate relationships. Demi and Luke M - SPLIT When it came to finding love in the villa, both contestants were pretty unlucky in love. Luke M got pied by Jess Gale and Natalia Zoppa, while Demi got dumped by Nas Majeed. However, after being matched by their pals Siannise and Luke T, they finally found the love in each other. But sadly things just didn't work out between the pair after leaving the villa. Despite living five hours away from each other, the pair were determined to work, however, they grew apart during the lockdown period. "My energy wasn’t being reciprocated," Demi later explained. Luke moved onto series five start Lucie Donlan. Luke M and Lucie Donlan - Still together The duo began dating in June 2020 and made their relationship a month later. They confirmed their romance in a true 21st century style, sharing loved-up Instagram selfies. "My partner in crime," Luke captioned his pic, while Lucie commented: "Youuuu," and added a few heart-eye emojis. The pair appear to still be going very strong, often sharing love up snaps on social media. In May, the pair became dog parents together, as they revealed they'd got a rescue dog and they are now engaged! Jess and Ched - SPLIT After weeks of struggling to find her perfect guy, in walked Ched Uzor who whisked Jess off her feet. The finalists made their relationship "exclusive" on the show, however, despite a few dates outside the villa, things didn't last with Ched and Jess. A rep for Jess confirmed the news in a statement, which read: "After a whirlwind romance in the Love Island villa, unfortunately Jessica Gale and Ched Uzor have made the mutual decision to split. "They have unfortunately felt the effects of lock down separation but will continue as friends,’ it continued. ‘They wish nothing but the best for each other and full success in each others careers." Priscilla and Mike - SPLIT Mike had his fair share of love interests on the show, after almost finding a connection with four girls in the villa. But Priscilla proved to be the one for him, with Mike dubbing her "wifey material" from the moment he met her at Casa Amor. Despite his past, the couple stuck together, and Mike put a label on it as he asked her to be his girlfriend. Speaking on Love Island: What Happened Next? Mike said: “I’ve moved permanently to London now. It was only a couple weeks after leaving the villa that we actually popped the big one and started telling each other that we actually love each other.” Talk soon turned to the pair's future as Mike said: “We’re always planning ahead. Conversations about the future together. Children have been mentioned.” Priscilla then said: “I just need a ring on my finger!” However, the pair sadly parted ways in June 2021, as reported by the Daily Mail. A source told the paper they were still friends. Callum and Molly - SPLIT They didn't make it to the finals, after the other islanders chose to save Priscilla and Mike over them. But, Callum and Molly didn't let that stop them from cracking on outside the villa. Following their exit, Callum told press including RadioTimes.com they'd probably be "official" soon, and Molly revealed that they were meeting each other's families. However after a three year relationship, the couple reportedly broke up in September 2023. "It's really sad news as they were a sweet couple together, but it's over," an insider told The Sun. The pair did reunite on Love Island: All Stars, but romance was not on the cards for them and Molly went on to win the show with Tom Clare! Sophie and Connor - SPLIT It looked like things could have been over for Sophie Piper and Connor Durman, after she didn't leave with him when the islanders chose to save her and dumped him from the island. However, the pair rekindled their relationship after Sophie was voted out. Connor met Sophie's sisters Rochelle Humes and Lily Piper, and Sophie accidentally revealed they were "exclusive." It seemed these two could be onto something good, however, according to sources, the lockdown curse struck again and they've now called it quits. After a six-month romance, things are said to have "fizzled" out between them. "Things just fizzled out. They never even went official," an insider said. “It just didn’t have a chance to get started because of lockdown and they both agreed it was better to just stay friends.” Rebecca and Biggs Chris - SPLIT They didn't get to spend much time together in the villa as Biggs was dumped from the island after joining during the Casa Amor twist, but the pair certainly found love off the show. They got very close over the lockdown and made their romance official, with Rebecca and Biggs planning to move in together. Speaking in an interview, Biggs said: "We're still going between each other's houses, but we've started looking at places. Rebecca will be moving in soon - I'm really excited. She's so close to her mum, but said she would move up to Scotland with me." Sadly, the pair called it quits after 19 months together. “We broke up because we want different things," Biggs said in an interview with The Sun. “Rebecca’s more of a party girl, but I want a family and business and just to work work work. I want that ‘couple goals’ life where we both work hard together and build an amazing family." The pair ended up reuniting in Netflix's Cheat: Unfinished Business but failed to rekindle their romance. Love Island: 2019 Tommy and Molly-Mae – Back together Tommy and Molly-Mae are a couple for the Love Island history books, having moved in together, welcomed their first child and gotten engaged. However, in a shocking statement, Molly-Mae told her 7 million followers on Instagram that they had split up, asking those to respect their privacy in this difficult time. Opening the statement, Molly-Mae wrote: "After five years of being together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not in this way. I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy's relationship has come to an end. I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. "Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority. I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it's right to share this with you all. "Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time, I'll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae x." Tommy later shared a statement, in which he said he was "heartbroken" that he and Molly had "decided to end our relationship". He wrote: "The past five years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi, and I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a dad. Bambi is our priority. Please respect our privacy, and our families' privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time." But love clearly isn't dead, as Molly confirmed in her documentary Behind It All that she and Tommy had rekindled their romance. Curtis and Maura – SPLIT Dancing on Ice star Maura Higgins split with pro-dancer boyfriend Curtis Pritchard in March 2020. The fourth-place finalists danced their way into the final, but their path to love was far from smooth, after Curtis broke up with his half-girlfriend Amy and was later torn between Maura and new girl Francesca. The duo are no longer a thing, and Maura later moved onto fellow Love Islander Chris Taylor. She then enjoyed a relationship with Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, however, in October 2021, he confirmed that they'd gone their separate ways. Maura and Chris - SPLIT Following rumours the pair were dating, the duo decided to make their romance Insta official in November 2020. But, sadly the pair have now called it quits after six months together. Sharing a statement, Maura said: “There is no wrongdoing on either side… we still love, care and respect each other deeply. From the minute we met each other we’ve been very close friends and that will never change.” She continued, “There is no regret. Life is about taking chances. We wanted to make this work but we have realised we work better being friends. Whilst I appreciate people may speculate or creates false stories, this is the truth. I wish Chris nothing but the best and I will always be one of his biggest supporters x.” Chris shared a similar statement to his followers, adding: "We are both still on very good terms and this was a mutual decision where nobody had done anything wrong. We will remain friends, as we have been since day 1 and I will always be in Maura’s corner and have her back.” Lucie and Joe – SPLIT The surfer girl looked to have finally found her 'bev' as she and sandwich man Joe were spotted holding hands while strolling to a dinner date in Lucie’s hometown in Cornwall, weeks after reuniting on Aftersun and telling Caroline Flack: "We're just chilling as friends. We're taking it slow, there's no rush.” Speaking at the TV Choice Awards in September, Lucie said they kept their relationship a secret to get to know one another away from the spotlight. However, the pair have since confirmed their split – with Joe getting close to another former Islander. Lucie is now loved up with series six star Luke Mabbott. Greg and Amber — SPLIT Love is dead, as 2019 winners Amber and Greg split – reportedly by text, of all mediums – after a matter of weeks. After tabloid reports, Amber set the record straight on Loose Women, telling viewers the deed really was done over text. "The careers and the distance was always a factor," she said. "We always knew about it so I don’t know what’s changed. I wanted to make it work. I am disappointed that it’s over […] but I’ll be fine. Onwards and upwards from here." She continued: "From my point of view I still wanted to make it work and there was a call a few days prior just chatting but on that day it was a text. I think there was a bit of miscommunication." Ovie and India – SPLIT India arrived as one of the last bombshells later on in the series, transforming Ovie's luck. He'd previously emerged from Casa Amor with Anna — only for her to return to Jordan. The pair confirmed they were "exclusive" on Love Island: The Reunion, and said they were 'official' at the TV Choice Awards. But after being dogged with false "split rumours" after it was claimed by an Instagram account that India had "cheated" on Ovie while in Portugal — a claim strongly refuted by the couple — India announced their split at the Pride of Britain awards in October, saying it was "difficult". Anton and Belle - SPLIT It seemed to be going so well for Anton and Belle, despite the pair going through quite a tumultuous time while in the villa. They had their first date in Belle's brother's restaurant, with Belle's actor-father, Tamer Hassan, also joining them. However, it has since been reported that the pair have gone their separate ways, one month after leaving the villa - with Anton's love for Craig David bizarrely an alleged contributing factor for the rumoured split. Anton since told Scottish Sun Online: “We’re not together, it’s as simple as that. That’s it.” Danny and Jourdan – SPLIT Danny and Jourdan had seemed like one of the more solid couples, after they confirmed in September that they had now moved in together. But a source told The Sun in October: "Jourdan started to hear rumours he was speaking to other girls behind her back." Jourdan later confirmed the split on Instagram, saying that she cannot tolerate a "lack of respect, disloyalty [and] dishonesty" in a relationship and told fans "the love was as real as the hurt is now". Oh well... Anna and Jordan – SPLIT This duo came close to leaving the island after they found themselves in the bottom three, hours after Jordan asked Anna to be his "chick". The model told the boys he was planning to take Anna on a tour of the villa to relive their biggest moments from where they had their first kiss, to up on the terrace, where Anna realised she had made a mistake in coupling up with Ovie. They said they were looking forward to life on the outside... but a day after going official Jordan said his head had been turned by India. Anna accused him of game playing and using her to reach the final. Predictably they called it quits on leaving the villa. Chris and Harley – SPLIT Chris and Harley came together by default after India chose Ovie, despite Chris admitting his feelings for her, which left Harley to pick Chris. Despite the not-so-romantic start, the pair eventually shared their first kiss and saw romance rise on a bread-baking date. But, Chris found himself close to being dumped after he guessed that fans were convinced he should be together with India during the Headline Challenge. After a telling off from Harley and a big dose of grovelling the pair made up - only to be dumped from the villa. They became official during an appearance on Aftersun, which saw host Caroline Flack ask if they are "exclusive." But after just three weeks out of the villa, the pair decided they were better of as friends. Chris announced the news on Instagram, saying the split was "amicable" and that they were simply "too busy" to make "quality time" for one another. "I will be very proud of everything she has done and everything she’ll do," he wrote. "The future is bright crumpet go get em!" Love Island: 2018 Kaz and Josh - SPLIT Kaz and Josh, who placed third, were initially gushy about their newfound feelings on Instagram. But while we thought these two were going to be in it for the long haul, the pair seemingly announced their split on Instagram one week after fellow Love Island finalists Megan and Wes parted ways. Kaz went on to date series three star Theo Campbell. Josh is now in a relationship with model Ruby Wong, who he went Instagram official with in September 2020. Kaz and Theo - SPLIT A few months after her split from Josh in 2019, Kaz announced she'd moved onto series three Love Island star Theo Campbell. The pair looked to be going pretty well, however, at the start of 2020 they called it quits. Speaking of their break-up, Theo said: "I feel like with us, I kinda gave it my everything and it feels a bit under-appreciated. I don’t know what to call it. What’s the right way to say it? I got slinged! I don’t know what to call it." It's not clear whether either are currently dating, but Theo became a dad in 2021 to a baby boy named Aries, who he shares with Instagram influencer Sapphire Yhnell. Jack and Dani – SPLIT After a holiday in Thailand, Jack announced that the pair had broken up for good, telling fans on Instagram that they will “always have love for each other” but “sometimes things aren’t meant to be”. In January, 2020, Jack became a father to his daughter Blossom - who he coparents with her mother Casey Ranger. He is now dating The Only Way is Essex star Frankie Sims, who is sister to Chloe and Demi Sims. Jack and Frankie will appear on the new series of MTV's Ex and the City. In July 2020, Dani announced she was expecting her first baby with her boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, who she reunited with after her and Jack's split. The pair welcomed their son in January 2021. In July 2021, Kimmence pled guilty to five counts fraud in total against two men who were in their 70s and 80s. The pair are no longer together, and in December 2021, Dani went Instagram official with her new boyfriend, Premier League footballer Jarrod Bowen. On 22 May 2023, the pair welcomed their twin daughters and they are now married. Adam and Zara - SPLIT Let's be honest – Adam finding love on Love Island seemed unlikely. But that's exactly what happened after he 'recoupled' with Zara on 'the outside'. But it was short-lived, with Zara confirming their split on Instagram in the wake of reported rows following Adam's night out with fellow Love Island stars Jack Fincham and Sam Bird. Adam denied he had been unfaithful, but later sparked a backlash after posting an Instagram video of him firing a gun, with the initial caption "Thank u, next" – with many taking the Ariana Grande reference as a dig at Zara. He later edited the post and said he cares "a hell of a lot" for Zara. Zara went on to date Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson. The pair split after Zara admitted to cheating on him and the break up was featured on the E4 series. The pair managed to put things behind them but it was reported at the beginning of 2025 that the couple had one their separate ways. Megan and Wes - SPLIT Fourth placed couple Megan and Wes were still together in the Christmas special... but split weeks later following tensions between Megan and Wes's Dancing on Ice partner, Vanessa Bauer. In a bizarre twist, she said despite "consciously uncoupling" they will continue to "co-parent" their hamster. Megan went on to date The Only Way Is Essex's Demi Sims, however, they split. She moved onto singer-songwriter Chelcee Grimes, and they enjoyed a brief romance, but split rumours began to spark as they isolated separately during the coronavirus lockdown. In 2020, she appeared on an episode of the BBC's Eating With My Ex alongside Demi, and last year, she enjoyed a brief romance with TOWIE's James Locke. The appear don't appear to be dating at the moment. Wes went on to date series five star Arabella Chi after the show. Wes and Arabella - SPLIT Following his breakup from Megan, Wes, 23, got with model Arabella, 29. The duo enjoyed nine months together before going their separate ways. "There’s been no funny business, no cheating or anything like that, it’s just fizzled out between them," a representative said at the time. Laura and Paul - SPLIT Despite posting loved-up pictures on Instagram with the not-so-catchy nickname 'Paura' Laura and Paul never made it girlfriend/boyfriend official, and eventually called time on the relationship two months after finishing in second place. In an interview with OK! Magazine Laura revealed her regrets over the break-up, which occurred after Paul returned from Burning Man festival. "I was hoping that when he came back [from holiday] we'd spend more time together and build a proper relationship out of the villa. It didn't happen," she revealed. Paul told The Sun: "We weren’t compatible for each other. I knew I had to be 100 per cent sure about it because you know – the next person you’re with could potentially be your wife; you don’t want to be unsure about it. We aren’t friends now – we haven’t spoken, it is a sore subject. But I told her I would be there for her if she needed me." Laura shares a child with Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy after the pair met during the filming of their series of Celebs Go Dating and hit it off. Jack and Laura - SPLIT There were signs of trouble in paradise early on for New Jack and New Laura who never really went official despite "exclusively dating". And the pair finally decided to call it off, with Laura sharing a statement which read: "Sadly Jack and I have both decided to go our separate ways due to such busy schedules right now and not having the time to spend together," Laura said. "[I] feel truly blessed to have got to share my Love Island experience with him and to have made a friend for life. We will carry on supporting each other on this journey and I can't wait to see where it takes us." Georgia and Sam - SPLIT These two had countless ups and downs during their time in the villa before eventually deciding to follow their hearts by refusing to recouple and instead leave the show together. Now that's loyalty for you. They made it official on Good Morning Britain (who said romance was dead?) and decided to move in together, sharing Instagram stories of their "new little pad". But they split months later, with it claimed Georgia had been unfaithful to Sam and stayed at her ex-boyfriend's house - which she denied. Charlie and Ellie - SPLIT Weeks after leaving the villa together, the pair enjoyed a trip to Monaco onboard a fancy boat. Alright for some, eh? But a Mail Online report later alleged that the pair had a "huge row" at the filming of Love Island: The Reunion, with Ellie later confirming she was angry at Charlie for drinking with Frankie Foster prior to the show. After a series of reported rows, they confirmed their split, with Charlie writing on his Instagram story: "Just to inform you all, Ellie and I have decided to part ways. I wish her the best!" Ellie dated season 5 star Michael Griffiths briefly, after hitting it off on Ex on the Beach in 2o19, however, things have turned sour between them as she admitted she "hated" him for moving on so quickly after their break-up. Samira and Frankie - SPLIT Although we didn't get to see much of their relationship on screen, Samira and Frankie were super loved up. So much so that she didn't want to continue her Love Island journey without him, and walked once he'd been voted out. The two made it boyfriend/girlfriend official – but sadly, in August, they called time on their relationship with a rep for Samira telling RadioTimes.com that she would be "taking some time out from her relationship with Frankie to focus on herself and future work opportunities". Love Island: 2017 Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies – SPLIT Aside from the odd recoupling drama, Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies seemed to be the perfect match. It was no surprise that the pair won the hearts of the nation and were voted Love Island winners, scooping (and then fairly splitting) the £50,000 prize money. But sadly in December the two announced they had parted ways. "With sadness, we’ve decided to separate," a statement read. "Our schedules made it difficult. We’ll remain good friends." Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt – Still together After a string of unsuccessful dates and a break up with Jonny Mitchell after that feminism row, it looked like Camilla was destined to be unlucky in love. And then a whole 31 days after she entered the villa, in came Jamie Jewitt. The pair quickly became a fan-favourite and ended up finishing the series as runners-up. We're pleased to say they are still as loved-up as ever and even went into business together. Jamilla really is for keeps – with the pair moving in together in February 2019 with their two adorable puppies, Audrey and Gus. In October, 2020 they became parents to their daughter Nell. A few months later in February, 2011 Jamie popped the question and proposed to Camilla with a bespoke ring. The couple tied the knot in September 2021, and welcomed their second child in 2022. In 2024, the pair welcomed their third child, Brodie. This might just be our fave couple! Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood – SPLIT These two were on and off more than a light switch during their time in the villa, and leaving didn't bring them closer. The pair starred in their own ITVBe spin-off, Chris and Olivia: Crackin' On, in which they rowed, rowed and rowed again – until they finally parted ways. Chris dated Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, but they split in April after 16 months together. Chris is now dating JoJo Siwa after the pair met on Celebrity Big Brother. Olivia is now married to her boyfriend Bradley Dack, following a romantic proposal in Dubai. Marcel Somerville and Gabby Allen – SPLIT After dating for nearly a year, the shock news came in May 2018 that Marcel and Gabby had broken up. And no, we couldn't believe it either. After rumours of cheating, a rep for Marcel said: "Sadly the rumours are true, Gabby and Marcel have split up. Marcel can't really defend his actions as he knows he did wrong and will regret it forever." Gabby moved on to Rak-Su's Myles Stephenson – however, they split after a year. She later joined the second instalment of Love Island: All Stars and had a very awkward reunion with Marcel but she eventually went on to win alongside Casey O'Gorman. Marcel was married to Rebecca Vieira, and they share a little boy named Roman together, but the pair later divorced. Montana Brown and Alex Beattie – SPLIT This one wasn't such a shock. About 3.7 seconds after leaving the villa, Montana Brown and Alex Beattie went their separate ways – and it seems that Montana was the one who instigated it. Speaking to The Sun soon after, Alex said: "She made me single, so now I am. I've got no pressure now and I can just focus on myself and do the best I can." In December 2022, Montana announced that she's expecting her first child with her boyfriend Mark O'Connor and has now welcomed her son, Jude. Jessica Shears and Dom Lever – Still together They might've been the first to be kicked out of the villa, but Jess and Dom haven't let that stop them. In fact, the pair created one of the naffest moments in TV history when they were 'married' (sort of) by Richard Arnold live on Good Morning Britain on Valentine's Day 2018 while wearing swimwear. Their GMB wedding wasn't legally binding (who knew?) so the pair officially tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Mykonos, with a select few guests and OK! magazine. The couple now have two children together. Their second was born in June 2022. Love Island: All Stars returns on Thursday 15th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Where is Love Island: All Stars filmed this year? The 2026 villa's location and changes
All Stars is back in South Africa once more.
As snow, wind and plenty of rain passes through the UK, there is a sunny escape coming to TV screens in the form of Love Island: All Stars! The highly anticipated third season is back on ITV2 on Thursday 15th January, with a cohort of familiar faces making a return to the villa and for some, they may have already stepped into this villa before. The upcoming season is being filmed in South Africa, which was previously home of the winter series before it was replaced with All Stars. With a newly-refurbished villa, it should hopefully prove the location for new relationships to blossom, as well as for some awkward reunions to take place. Here's everything you need to know about the new Love Island villa and all the places where the show is filmed. Where is Love Island filmed? While the summer show is filmed in Majorca, Love Island: All Stars will be filmed in South Africa, with the Islanders have arrived for the next six weeks. The All Stars villa is situated between a mountain range and wine-valley in Franschhoek, South Africa. It is the same villa that was used in the 2023 winter series, but looks slightly different due to a recent refurbishment. The villa, which is named the Ludus Magnus, is located near Cape Town and is reportedly worth £1.2 million. For the summer show, the series takes place in a villa in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca. What is the Love Island villa like? The estate features two swimming pools, surrounded by the famous sun loungers for the Islanders to soak in the sun and crack on. The 17-bedroom property has also been kitted out with classic Love Island staples, from colourful patio furniture, pool decking, multiple beds in the shared bedrooms, and this villa now has some extra features. For the 2025 season, there is a new secret garden, with a rule that couples cannot enter together and is rather somewhere to sneak away to. Where was the old Love Island villa? The villa featured in season 8 and was located in Mallorca. It includes a bedroom, lounge area, make-up room, bathroom, beach hut, balcony, outdoor kitchen, pool, and fire pit and is said to be worth £2.7 million. Speaking about some of the designs for season 8, the executive producer Mike Spencer said at the time that it was the "biggest bedroom" they've ever had on the show. "So basically the idea behind this was we wanted to take it back to what it used to be in the early series where they're opposite each other. So yeah, it has that because I think there's so much more banter when you're cross and going to bed at night." There was also more space in the girls' dressing room, with six tables instead of four, which will make it more comfortable for when the house gets a little more crowded with bombshells. Can you rent the Love Island 2025 villa and stay there on holiday? You can! The Ludus Magnus is bookable for the exclusive use of the property, featuring eight Manor House rooms and three villas – however, you need to contact the owners for prices and rates. You can find out more on the Ludus Magnus website. Love Island: All Stars returns on Thursday 15th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Amongst the Islanders heading back into the villa for a second chance of love is Charlie Frederick, who OG fans of the series will remember. ITV has teased what is to come in tonight's episode, including a game of Good or No Good. As host Maya Jama stands in front of the Islanders around the fire pit, she says: "Well, Islanders now you are all in, are you already to find love?" Maya explains the game: "Ok, All Stars, as you can see I have some 'Good' and 'No Good' sashes here. So, here’s the game…one at a time girls, you need to decide which of the boys you think is good for you, explain why and place a sash around him and then give him a snog. "Then you have to place a 'no good' sash and place it around the boy you think is no good for you and tell me why that is. Boys, don’t worry you’ve got weeks to work on these girls and change their minds." As we wait to find out what's in store for Charlie, read on for everything you need to know about the All Stars Islander.

Charlie entered the villa as a bombshell on day 8 of season 4 back in 2018 and went on dates with Hayley Hughes, Samira Mighty and Georgia Steele. He then coupled up with Hayley, but the duo were voted the least compatible couple by their fellow Islanders. The pair were then both dumped from the island only five days after Charlie arrived, having received the fewest votes from the public. What happened between Charlie Frederick and Hayley Hughes? Charlie and Hayley did not date after leaving the show, with Charlie blaming her for their exit from the villa. He said at the time: "I would definitely have coupled up with someone else if I knew that I was going to get nothing back the whole time. I probably would have gone for Megan [Barton-Hanson]." He also added: "110% I would go back in there," – well now's his chance! What has Charlie Frederick done since Love Island 2020? Charlie joined the cast of Made in Chelsea in 2020, as many former Islanders seem to do, where he was dating cast member Verity Scarlett, but did not return for the following season. He has continued to work as model and social media influencer, focusing his personal brand on fitness, health and wellness and also offers online personal training. Has Charlie Frederick dated anyone since Love Island 2020?

Why is Charlie Frederick returning for Love Island All Stars? Charlie is eager to get back in the villa again, saying he has a "whole series of unfinished business". "The first time round, I was in there for five days and I really want to find someone. This time I'll follow the path and not stop before I’ve even entertained it." He continued: "There’s definitely a lot of personal growth that has happened – It’s been eight years since I went to Love Island, so people will notice a massive difference. "I've grown loads as a person and I’m more confident in who I am and I don't care what people think. I’m a nice guy and I want the opportunity to show that."

Love Island: All Stars 2026 finally gets new launch date confirmed after episodes delayed – and with a show first
ITV have finally confirmed when Love Island: All Stars will be returning to ITV2 after production was halted over the weekend. The new series, which features iconic Islanders from past seasons, launches on Thursday 15th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX and, for the first time ever, there will be an extra episode on Saturday night (17th January), also at 9pm. Last weekend, ITV confirmed that the third season had been delayed due to ongoing wildfires near the villa. In a statement provided to RadioTimes.com, a spokesperson for ITV said at the time: "Further to a production evacuation owing to ongoing wildfires in the area, our assessment of the location site has concluded that filming will need to be postponed. This year's cast includes a cohort of Islanders from bombshells to winners alike. Just some of the Islanders include former winners Jess Harding and Millie Court, and bombshells who didn't have long enough in the villa, like Charlie Frederick and Jack Keating. The latest outing is extended also, with the Islanders due to spend six weeks in the villa rather than the usual five weeks the past two seasons have had. Ahead of the series launch, Love Island's creative director Mike Spencer-Hayter teased some very exciting bombshells are headed into the villa.

The Apprentice season 20 and spin-off series get start date confirmed – but someone will be missing
Lord Sugar's boardroom is back in business as The Apprentice returns for its 20th season on BBC One later this month. The BBC have confirmed that the new season will make its way to TV screens on Thursday 29th January at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer. This will be followed by The Apprentice: Unfinished Business at 10:05pm on BBC Two. Following Tom Allen's departure from You're Fired, the BBC announced a new spin-off show hosted by Angela Scanlon. After all the boardroom drama, viewers can head to BBC Two to listen to Angela and a host of industry experts and celebrity fans, as well as the first interviews with the fired candidates each week. Angela Scanlon said: "Having recently gone toe-to-toe with Lord Sugar in the boardroom, I have never understood or loved this iconic show more! "To be part of The Apprentice as it heads into its 20th year is an absolute treat. I can't wait to get suited and booted and sit down with candidates and celeb fans each week to unpack the drama, make sense of the madness and hopefully walk away with some business advice while I’m at it!" Tom Allen confirmed today (14th January) that he would no longer be presenting the companion series in a heartfelt post shared on Instagram. "I have decided, after six years, to say goodbye to The Apprentice: You're Fired," he wrote. "I have had so much fun working with the most incredible creative people to make it all happen. (I was also getting concerned Lord Sugar might realise I know nothing about business – as above video demonstrates)." He went on to thank Lord Sugar, Karren Brady and Tim Campbell for "all their support and encouragement at every step", as well as thanking each candidate and guest panelist who has joined him in the studio. He concluded the post: "Exciting things are coming up for the show, and as for me, I shall be embarking on new voyages very soon…" For the main series, Lord Sugar will once more have Brady and Campbell by his side as they watch over the candidates' every move. Campbell missed out on the recent Celebrity Apprentice two-parter as he was unable to make the filming dates work – he was temporarily replaced by Mike Soutar, but is back for the full series. This season, for the first time ever, the boardroom will take place in Hong Kong for episode 1, as the candidates all vie for the chance to become Lord Sugar's next business partner.

Ignore the critics, Strictly Come Dancing doesn’t need changing for 2026 - apart from one thing
After two decades, Strictly faces its biggest moment of change yet – but does the BBC’s glittering flagship really need fixing?
This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. In a festive edition of Celebrity Mastermind, one of the contestants was Strictly dancer Nikita Kuzmin (specialist subject: Cristiano Ronaldo). He wasn’t the worst of the four interrogees, particularly as English is not his primary language, meaning the Ukrainian native was, as Ginger Rogers might say, answering "backwards and in heels". It was another mark of how far Strictly has come, with the show’s dance professionals now as well known as their celeb partners – and essential members of the BBC’s talent pipeline. Some, like Oti Mabuse and Janette Manrara, are trusted with fronting other shows, while Anton du Beke didn’t even need to leave the Strictly studio, instead shuffling seamlessly into his judge’s chair. From BBC to ballroom, everyone’s a winner. Backstage allegations, complaints and investigations have seen the BBC’s biggest entertainment totem totter on its perch in the last couple of years but, thanks to sure-footed protocols behind the scenes and inspiring figures like Chris McCausland on the dancefloor, the good ship Strictly has sailed safely on. However, a much bigger change is afoot. For ten years, it has been ably steered by two solid captains and the void left by Tess and Claudia’s emotional farewell has prompted many to start muttering about the beginning of Strictly’s end. The RT postbag reveals how much the hosting duo will be missed, as well as offering suggestions for giving the show a much needed shot in the arm. One publicist who helped launch the show suggested recently a fallow year would allow a proper reset, for "new energy to return". Does the BBC’s biggest show really need a hiatus to survive? After more than 20 years, it’s clearly at a crossroads and offers a glittering, high-profile metaphor for the BBC’s wider challenge: how to keep its traditional audience happy, while futureproofing for the years ahead? If pressed, there’s only one thing about the show I would want to change immediately. For the rest, any producer tasked with bringing new energy might look to copy fresh elements from overseas versions, such as the imported “instant dance” round we saw last season – couples dashing to dress and improvise a routine on the spot. They might conjure up dramatic ways of welcoming back past contestants, All-Stars style. And, of course, there’s the key question of choosing the next hosts. But when they start generating ideas involving personal stories, glamour, diverse line-ups with cross-generational appeal, judges’ expertise, rehearsal videos, family messages, social media engagement and so on, they’d soon realise that Strictly already does a lot of those things exceptionally well. Perhaps it’s one of those rare shows that got it right from the start. And to put that in perspective, it launched in 2004, in an era that also heralded Pop Idol, Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and The X Factor. Of all those primetime offerings, it’s the last show standing. The publicist who advocated it taking a year off could be right – not because the show is tired, but because we take it for granted after so many years of giving us exactly what we need for Saturday night TV. In defence of the licence fee, Graham Norton once suggested turning off the BBC for a couple of months to remind people what they’d miss. The same would surely work for Strictly – making us appreciate afresh what a shining jewel it is. But to those regarding its familiarity with contempt, I ask: What would you have in its place? And the one thing I’d change? The theme tune. There, I’ve said it. Shot in the arm. Don’t shoot me. The latest issue of Radio Times is out now – subscribe here.

Fancy a shot at The Traitors? Here are all the ways you can play the game outside of the TV series
The Traitors has unsurprisingly taken the world by storm, from various international iterations popping up across the globe to people dressing up as Claudia Winkleman for Halloween. And season 4 has certainly got the nation chatting, with the launch episode reportedly achieving an average of 6.4 million overnight viewers, with a peak audience of nearly 7 million. For many, the thought of being able to take part in the show seems like a fun idea – but perhaps not achievable for all. So why not play a little closer to home? From experiences in the heart of London to games to play straight from here, here are all the ways you can play The Traitors without actually being on TV! 1. The Traitors live experience The Traitors Live Experience is an opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the game, with booking currently available up until May. While playing the game, you and your team will complete missions, navigate mind games at the roundtable and test your strategy skills in a battle of deceit and loyalty. The live experience offers 18+ sessions as well as dedicated family-friendly games for guests ages 12 and up. Tickets are priced from £29.50.

Where is The Traitors Ireland filmed? Inside Slane Castle
The first season of the Irish edition is finally coming to our screens!
The first season of The Traitors Ireland is finally coming to our screens, due to air on BBC One at the end of this month. However, viewers will not be taking a trip back to Ardross Castle, the stunning property in the Scottish highlands that the UK and US renditions of the show are filmed at. Instead, the Irish edition is filmed on site in Ireland, at the equally gorgeous Slane Castle. From the grand dining room where the contestants have breakfast and the dark room where the Round Table debates take place, all nestled in sweeping greenland and a flowing river, the setting is undeniably striking. But where exactly is it located? Read on to learn everything about the filming locations used in The Traitors Ireland, including Slane Castle. Where was The Traitors Ireland filmed? The Traitors Ireland was filmed in County Meath, Ireland, with the contestants living in Slane Castle – an 18th century venue, located in Boyne Valley, overlooking the River Boyne. It is situated just a few miles upstream from the site of the famous Battle of the Boyne. It was built in the neo-Gothic style and sits in an 1,500 acre estate that spans both banks of the river. The estate is home to the 90-acre organic farm Rock Farm, which has rare breeds whilst Slane Irish Whiskey Distillery is also situated on the site. The castle has been owned by the Conyngham family since the 1700s. Alex Burton Conyngham, Earl of Mount Charles currently lives in the castle with his wife, the Countess Carina, and their children. In 1991, a fire broke out at the castle and destroyed almost a third of the property but after almost a decade of restoration it was reopened in 2001. Can you stay at the castle from The Traitors Ireland? Yes! You are able to stay over night in the castle from The Traitors Ireland in its The Slane Castle Suite, which can offer as much as 5 bedrooms and be booked privately. While Slane Castle is not currently open to the general public, throughout January to March, you are able to book Afternoon Tea at the castle which promises to have a "traitorous twist". It is also possible to privately hire the venue, for a wedding or corporate event, with its rooms and grounds able to accommodate upwards of 250 people. The castle also frequently acts as music venue with bands such as U2, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Guns ‘N Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, David Bowie, Queen and REM having performed there. The natural amphitheatre in the castle grounds has an 80,000 person capacity. The Traitors Ireland will air at midnight on Saturday 24th January on BBC One.

Reality TV icon Olivia Attwood: 'My career wouldn’t have existed 10 years ago'
"Viewers want people who are agile and they're honest and they're authentic and I think that's what I do, I show up as myself."
Olivia Attwood has proven herself a mainstay on television screens ever since she appeared on Love Island in 2017, and has carved herself out an impeccable career since. Looking into 2026, the reality star turned TV presenter has a stacked year ahead, from the brand new Celebrity Sabotage and The Heat to the hotly anticipated fourth season of Getting Filthy Rich as she dives deeper into the online adult industry, something she is immensely proud to be fronting once more. "[I'm] very proud to be on a fourth series, especially in this climate," Attwood told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview. "We all know it's more difficult than ever to get recommissions and to keep viewers engaged. And I think that obviously the channel [ITV2] had the appetite, but the channel had the appetite because the viewers are there." The new series kicks off this week (17th January), as Attwood interviews celebrities like Katie Price and Kerry Katona as they share their experiences of selling sexual content online. Over the past three series, Attwood has explored all corners of the online adult industry, and just from her followers online, she knew there were more stories to be told. "People are constantly asking, 'When's there going to be more Getting Filthy Rich?' So I knew there was definitely an appetite for more and once we got into filming and development, you realise how much there still is to cover." Attwood admitted that filming the fourth series proved to her that there is "no limit to how much of this you could cover", adding: "Because the industry is just so vast and it's so rapidly evolving." Throughout each series, Attwood steps out of her comfort zone and into a world somewhat alien to her, which she thinks helps viewers gain an added layer of understanding to what is already being shown before their eyes. "I will become as involved as I can," Attwood told RadioTimes.com. "Some things I'm limited to how much I can, other areas I can get way more involved. I think it puts the contributors at ease, I think it helps the viewers to get that perspective that they feel more immersed in the show themselves. And it's a lot more interesting for me, I love getting involved, kind of being on the ground, going to different locations, going to people's homes. It's fascinating to me." She added: "I never pretend to be a trained journalist, and I think that what I have to bring to this is narrating my real experience through learning about these industries in real time, and I'm doing that by meeting people. I'm doing that by going to their workplaces and then I tell the viewers what I'm learning in real time. "And I try and do that from a place of no judgment. I'm not a judgmental person, naturally, I'm very unjudgmental, so it's something that's quite easy for me. And then just trying to articulate to them what I'm seeing and learning, and then they can draw their own conclusions from that themselves." And it's important that, when tackling a topic like the online adult industry, Getting Filthy Rich remains informative and not sensationalist, which Attwood admits can be "a difficult line to walk." She told RadioTimes.com: "I'm very protective over the contributors, and where I want to tell a balanced and non-biased story. I also don't want to ever hurt anyone's feelings when they watch it back and they think that I'm talking about them in a negative way. But I know that I have to do the right thing and it is to show the full picture. "That's not just me, there's a whole team of people, producers. It goes into an edit, the channel, we watch things, and we make sure the story is the full picture. And when the show is created and put together, we look at how something might be reading, and we make those adjustments, but it's not easy at all. And there's a lot of people that guide me in getting that line right and I think that we've done a really good job the last three series of getting that right, and I hope that the feeling is that this is continued in series four."

"I think TV is evolving in such a way that my career that I have now would never existed 10 years ago," she said. "For me to be able to make these shows, to make reality TV, to show up and host This Morning, it wasn't [like that before]. People had to be so, kind of, sat in certain categories and I think that it shows how TV is changing. "I think it shows what viewers want. Viewers want people who are agile and they're honest and they're authentic and I think that's what I do, I show up as myself." But across all the different series that she fronts, viewers may see "a slightly different version" each time. "You're going to get a PG version of me on Loose Women, and it's slightly more unfiltered on something like Getting Filthy Rich, it goes out in a later time slot. And I just adapt myself depending where I am, although I'm doing so much that sometimes I have to remind myself where I am at what time."

The Traitors' fabulous icons Amanda, Diane and Linda glam up for Claudia-inspired shoot – and talk being underestimated as older women
Amanda Lovett, Diane Carson and Linda Rands talk being Traitors fan favourites.
This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Perhaps it’s a coincidence, perhaps it’s clever casting – or perhaps it says something about how, as a society, we underestimate certain types of people. But every year on The Traitors, amidst the backstabbings, round tables and snazzy cloaks there’s always one breakout star who defies convention, trends and ideas of what sells on TV. They’re always a woman, always over 50, and always a fan favourite across generations, no matter how good they are at the game. It started with Amanda Lovett in the first series in 2022, when the 54-year-old estate agent entered the castle and was chosen as a Traitor. She made it to episode 10 before being banished, but had already won the social media war with her ruthless personality, hidden behind a mumsy demeanour. In series two, which aired in 2024, it was Diane Carson. The retired teacher from Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, was 63 when chosen as a Faithful. In episode six, she was handed a poisoned chalice; the following day she was shut in a coffin in a moment of brilliant high camp. Diane of course took a sacred secret to the grave – fellow contestant Ross was her son. The internet exploded. In the third series, which aired in 2025, 70-year-old Linda Rands was chosen as a Traitor. The retired opera singer from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, was banished in episode seven. Linda’s hammy, unconvincing performance as a Traitor was so celebrated, a billboard was erected in her honour in Leicester Square – for “Best Actress”. Perhaps future series of The Traitors will go even further in rejecting the median age of women on reality TV and choose an octogenarian to join its ranks – Celia Imrie was 73 when she appeared in The Celebrity Traitors and defied potential “old fart” jokes by gleefully owning up to her own during a mission. In the current series, 62-year-old Fiona summed it up well as she went about her duties as the ruthless Secret Traitor: “Never underestimate a woman of a certain age…” And now, to celebrate the upcoming finale of the fourth series, we’ve brought some of these women together. After the RT shoot – in which Amanda, Diane and Linda were styled in the gothic-chic for which host Claudia Winkleman has become well known – we asked if they’d appease their fans’ wishes and appear in an All-Stars Traitors, they all said yes! Amanda Lovett Traitor series 1 Why did you apply back in 2022? I was 54, single and had five kids. I’d left my second husband after a horrible relationship. I wanted to win some money to buy a car for my twins, who were about to turn 17. And I wanted a break! Were you surprised at the response to the first series? One of the crew said to the contestants that if the first series of The Traitors went as well as the BBC hoped, none of us would be able to go to Tesco without being recognised. I never for one minute thought it would explode, but it’s been life-changing. When [fellow Traitor] Wilf threw me under the bus, Instagram went mad and demanded a national day of mourning for me. I took the twins to Rome for a long weekend just before Christmas that year and loads of English people came up to me saying, ‘You’re Amanda from The Traitors!’ It was crazy. My twins were mortified. They still are. What was it like being an OG Traitor? I wanted to be a Traitor because I was never a popular kid at school and, as a Traitor, you have control for once. You feel special. I didn’t have a game plan. I winged it all the way and enjoyed murdering people because I didn’t have a conscience. I just wanted to enjoy the experience; I never lost sight of the fact that it’s a game. I wanted to find myself again, to have some fun. I was disappointed with Wilf because I saved his arse so many times. I thought we had a Traitors’ alliance, a code. I was wrong. What did you find out about yourself when you watched the series? That I could lie very easily. My kids were shocked, but I’m an estate agent… Were you underestimated as a middle-aged woman? Totally! Nothing out of the ordinary is expected from us. But the joke is that, as older women, we’ve got a wealth of experience. When I turned 54, I realised I was more than halfway through my life and the engine just revved up. It was time for me: I got married at 19 and hadn’t spent any time alone since then. I didn’t know who I was. When I went to the castle in Inverness, it was the first time I’d flown on my own. I came out of The Traitors a totally different person. I was empowered. Do you still work? I still work part-time as an estate agent. I encourage younger people in my workforce to come to me for advice. At my age, the chances are that I’ve already been through whatever it is they are going through. Did you enjoy watching Celia Imrie in the first series of The Celebrity Traitors? I loved her! My mum was a functioning alcoholic and my father died when I was ten. His mum, my maternal grandmother, was very posh, like Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances. We had to pronounce “H” as “aitch” and not “haitch” and we were never allowed to say “fart”. Women perspire; they never sweat. Women fluff or pass wind. So, when Celia, who was obviously brought up well, said “fart” on national TV, I was rejoicing. Diane Carson Faithful series 2 Why did you apply? My two eldest sons were raving about the first series of The Traitors – in fact, they were going on about it so much that I deliberately didn’t watch it. Then we were all ill over Christmas and I finally succumbed. I said out loud that I thought it was something I could do and my kids fell about laughing. “Don’t be ridiculous, mum. You’re too gobby. And if you did get on, you’d be killed immediately.” Then my daughter flippantly sent me an application form and… challenge accepted! My aim was to surprise my family – they’d switch on series two and I’d be one of the 22 contestants. What did you do for the audition? I had my hair done as I had to record a video. I set an egg timer to go off after a minute so I could say in the video, “Oh, that must be the egg timer!” It was childish, but I got through. Later, I was asked if a member of my family would like to take part. It couldn’t be my daughter, because she looks like me and it couldn’t be my two eldest boys because they both act – Kerr [Logan] was in Game of Thrones. Ross took some persuading – he was worried I was going to tell him what to do on national TV – but he finally came on board. Did you and Ross have a strategy? Just to keep Ross a secret. I am the queen of surprises. I spend my life planning surprise parties. Our family plays Dungeons & Dragons, and my boys are always playing pranks on me. When Ross said that my Sunday dinners were rubbish on The Traitors, I didn’t flinch. It was part of the game and part of our family dynamic. Did you want to be a Faithful? I can’t lie, I was sitting at the table thinking, “Please don’t touch my shoulder” [to be elected as a Traitor]. I knew people would naturally assume I was a Traitor because I have a certain type of personality – I’m direct. It takes a while for people to get to know me. I can be pretty Marmite. I don’t like Traitors winning – I didn’t want Alan Carr to win [Celebrity Traitors], until he broke down and cried and I changed my mind. Before being murdered, do you think you were underestimated as an older woman? Only in the challenges because no one thought I could be as fit as I am for my age – I’m an experienced trail runner. I could see their jaws on the floor during some of the challenges because they couldn’t believe what I was capable of. Would you do it again? Absolutely. Ross and I could have made a shedload of money doing advertisements and brand deals as mum and son from The Traitors, but he wants to be taken seriously as a young man with his own business, and I have to respect that. It doesn’t mean I’m not bloody cross with him though! Linda Rands Traitor series 3 Why did you apply? I was obsessed with the first two series. Near the end of the second, Ed Gamble said on Uncloaked that they were looking for contestants for series three. I’d had a couple of glasses of wine, so I went online and filled in the form. Not for a minute did I think I’d get on the show. There were so many stages – medicals, psychological assessments, criminal records… Did you have a strategy? Not really. It’s completely different when you’re there; you can have all the strategies you like but when you’re at the round table, everything changes in a second. I thought I’d be really mouthy at the table, because I talk non-stop in real life, but there were times when I kept really quiet in case what I said was misinterpreted. I had a notebook detailing everything that had happened each day, which was useful, but not enough. When I watched it back, I kept thinking of all the things I could have said – and then I might have won! Did you want to be a Traitor? I always wanted to be a Traitor because I thought I was good at lying – it turns out I’m not! But I loved it, although I hadn’t thought about how hard it would be to find reasons to murder a Faithful – it was horrible because you’d watch your friends trying to defend themselves. You have to remind yourself that it’s just a game and nothing is personal, no matter how many times your name is picked out at the round table. Were you underestimated as an older woman? I thought I’d be the first one out and they’d all assume I’m hopeless at everything. But I’ve got a young spirit, so I don’t feel like an older woman. I’m amazed that so many young kids loved me on The Traitors – it’s wild that they responded to a woman in her 70s. I’m saying that 70 is the new 50. How has your life changed? People recognise me in the street. The other day this guy stood there saying, “Linda from Traitors!” and then asked for a selfie to show his mum. I was on the stage singing opera for a very long time, but nothing compares to being TV famous. I love it. Which older women would you like to see in the next series of The Celebrity Traitors? Dawn French and her other half, Jennifer Saunders. Alison Hammond would be great – she’d be like Alan Carr and do lots of naughty things.
