Hannah Elizabeth (Season 1)
Hannah was an original Islander on the first season of Love Island. She coupled up with Jonathan Clark on the first day and they remained together for the entire season, often getting intimate under the covers. One of their most memorable moments was when Jon proposed to Hannah during the season 1 finale, and she tearfully accepted. (However, the engagement was called off several months later.)

Luis Morrison (Season 1)
Luis formed a particularly close bond with Hannah’s former fiancé while on Love Island, although his path to finding love was more challenging. Initially, he was labeled a player by both viewers and fellow islanders after stepping forward for every girl during the first coupling-up ceremony. However, everything changed when Cally Beech, a former fling of Luis’ from back home, entered the villa as a bombshell.
Most Memorable Moment: The moment the male Islanders had the chance to vote on which bombshell would enter the villa next stands out. When Cally popped up on the video call and said, “Hi, Lu,” Luis had hearts in his eyes. (Luis and Cally eventually made it to the finale and dated once they left the island. Their daughter, Vienna, was born in May 2017 weeks after they split.)

Georgia Harrison (Season 3)
Georgia made a dramatic entrance at the cast's white party, catching everyone's attention in a stunning red dress. Shortly after, she had to decide who to couple up with, ultimately breaking up a preexisting pair. She chose Kem Cetinay, who was already in a relationship with Amber Davies. Despite Kem's commitment to Amber, Georgia later developed a connection with Sam Gowland.
Most Memorable Moment: Georgia's entrance stands out as the most shocking recoupling ceremony in Love Island history, although she claimed she simply chose someone she thought she would get along with.

Georgia Steel (Season 4)
Indeed, there will be two Georgias featured in the All Stars lineup. Steel made a memorable impression as an outgoing bombshell during season 4. Her immediate connection with Josh Denzel was evident to all. The couple even became part of Wes Nelson’s "Do Bits Society," a group that acknowledged intimate pairs on the show. Despite later sparking a romance with Sam Bird, they were branded the least compatible couple by their fellow contestants. Faced with the decision to either recouple with new partners or leave the villa, Steel and Sam chose not to recouple and were consequently dumped from the island.
Most Memorable Moment: The infamous Love Island catchphrase "I’m loyal, babes" was first proclaimed by Steel after Josh chose to bring back Kaz Crossley from Casa Amor instead of staying with her.

Chris Taylor (Season 5)
Chris may not have found true love in the villa, but he definitely won us over with his great sense of humor and playful banter.
The most memorable moment? Definitely when Chris decided to dive into the pool like a flopping salmon, earning him the nickname "salmon" from his fellow islanders.

Anton Danyluk (Season 5)
From the very beginning, Anton surprised us by sharing that his mother used to shave his "bum." His luck inside the villa took a turn for the better when Casa Amor arrived and he crossed paths with Belle Hassan.
Most Memorable Moment: The peak of Anton and Belle’s romance occurred when he became upset after she declined his fake proposal during the “Song, Marry, Pie” challenge. Belle was displeased when costar Anna Vakili implied that Anton had intended to end their relationship. She expressed feeling “mugged off” and “embarrassed” as she genuinely liked Anton.

Demi Jones (Season 6)
During the inaugural season of Love Island, Demi appeared to be the answer to Nas Majeed's quest for love. Despite his previous romantic misfortunes on the show, Nas was initially drawn to Demi, but ultimately formed a deeper bond with Eva Zapico in Casa Amor. In turn, Demi moved on with Luke Mabbott, and the couple made it to the finale.
Most Memorable Moment: Demi was left stunned during the post-Casa recoupling when Nas walked in holding Eva's hand.

Toby Aromolaran (Season 7)
Toby dated Chloe Burrows on season 7 of Love Island, and they stayed together for multiple years after leaving the Spanish villa.
Most Memorable Moment: The moment when bombshell Abigail Rawlings joined the cast and Chloe confronted Toby with the words, “It’s not a test for me, it’s for you. And you failed,” during a heated argument.

Kaz Kamwi (Season 7)
Kaz didn't find The One on season 7 until Tyler Cruickshank arrived and captivated her heart. Her most memorable moment was when she interrupted Chloe and bombshell Teddy Soares's conversation while coupled up with Toby.

Jake Cornish (Season 7)
Jake swiftly paired up with Liberty Poole and they were the first couple to enter the Hideaway without officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. The situation changed when the girls watched a video of Jake stating that he didn't "fancy" Liberty or have the desire to "rip her clothes off." In attempt to show his commitment, Jake told Liberty "I love you," but the other contestants were skeptical. They believed that Jake was simply telling Liberty what she wanted to hear, especially since she had previously revealed that she was falling in love.
Most Memorable Moment: The L-word changed Jake’s entire trajectory on season 7, as he went from a frontrunner to an assumed player.

Liberty Poole (Season 7)
During her official show interview before All-Stars, Liberty disclosed that she hasn't had any contact with Jake since their breakup.
Most Memorable Moment: After ending things with Jake and declaring that she deserved better, Liberty made the decision to leave Love Island on her own.

Mitchel Taylor (Season 10)
Mitch is the only islander from the most recent season returning to All Stars. Throughout season 10, he pursued Molly Marsh, Abi Moores and Ella Barnes.
Most Memorable Moment: His fellow islanders dubbed him “Messy Mitch” because he brutally ditched partner Abi from the moment Ella walked into the villa.
