After a dramatic series earlier this year, Love Island All Stars will be making a return next year, though there are even more question marks around the series than usual.

While it is usually business as usual this time of year, with often rumours around who could be returning to the villa, there is fresh speculation around who could be presiding as host, following the shock news that Maya Jama has stepped down.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Jama confirmed that after three years she'd be leaving the show, leaving fans wondering who could replace her ahead of All Stars in the new year.

Lifted Entertainment's CEO Richard Cowles previously told Radio Times of the upcoming instalment of All Stars: "What's lovely is you kind of get a slightly accelerated series with All Stars, so you know the characters.

"There's a sort of Love Island dating ecosystem that seems to exist outside the series... The All Stars version is who the characters are, and you're just continuing a story that you already enjoy."

So, with so many questions around the show's return, here's everything we know about Love Island All Stars 2027 so far.

When could Love Island All Stars return?

While ITV has not confirmed an exact release date for Love Island All Stars 2027, its usual release pattern sees it fall in mid-January, and we could expect a similar release.

However following Jama's exit, reports have suggested that the show has been pushed back to late January, though ITV has not confirmed these reports.

No line-up has been confirmed for a 2027 series. True to the All Stars format, the cast will be drawn from former Islanders across the main show's history, with ITV typically revealing the roster shortly before launch.

However, some Islanders have told Radio Times that they would like to return, with 2026 Islanders Ope Sowande telling us: "I'll see you on All Stars. If you don't get me on All Stars, what are you doing?"

Aidan Murphy joked: "I wanna keep you lot on your toes! Maybe yes, maybe no! I don't know yet."
