LOVE Island is returning for its summer season, with the villa doors opening once more.
But it wasn’t long ago the spin-off show All Stars crowned its first ever winning couple.
Who won Love Island All Stars?
On February 19, 2024, Molly Smith and Tom Clare were announced as the Love Island All Star’s winners by host Maya Jama.
In a twist reality TV dreams are made of, Molly’s ex boyfriend Callum Jones clinched second place alongside his new beau, Jess Gale.
Blonde bombshells Molly and Tom were the bookies’ favourite to win, after proving they had the strongest bond – despite her ex living in the same villa.
Addressing this during the Love Island final, Molly said: “I think obviously from the outside looking in, people won’t understand.
“We’re in an intense environment and you’ve got to get along so it kind of forced us to be friends.
“We probably wouldn’t be at this stage on the outside, it probably would have just been a bit awkward, but I feel like it’s got us to a place that we never would have gotten to, and I’m actually grateful for that.”
However, ITV revealed that the voting figures were VERY close.
Molly and Tom received 35 per cent of the vote, narrowly beating Jess and Callum who got 33 per cent.
Coming in third place was Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie, who received 15 per cent of the voting figures
Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran finished in fourth with ten per cent of the public vote..
Meanwhile, Georgia Harrison and Anton Danyluk only received seven per cent as they came fifth in the tense finale.
Who were the Love Island All Stars finalists?
Tom Clare and Molly Smith
After being voted together by the public, Tom Clare and Molly Smith went from strength to strength.
Despite her ex-Callum Jones being in the villa as well, the pair shone through.
Molly shot to fame when she appeared on the first ever winter Love Island in 2020.
Meanwhile her man Tom was an instant hit when he was on the ITV2 reality show in winter 2023.
Callum Jones and Jess Gale
Molly’s ex-boyfriend of three years Callum Jones had a bumpy ride at first in the All Stars villa.
After focusing his attention on Georgia Steel he was left out in the cold when she dumped him for Toby Aromolaran.
But after licking his wounds, the popular islander went onto couple up with Jess Gale.
The pair already knew each other as they both appeared in the same series of Love Island in 2020.
In fact, in the previous series he was coupled up with her twin sister Eve Gale.
Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran
The most controversial couple in the All Stars villa was Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran.
The pair were coupled up from the start but G’s head was turning left right and centre.
She coupled up with Callum but also fancied Tom, before eventually getting back with her “Tobes”.
In fact, Toby brutally dumped Arabella Chi when he FINALLY realised Georgia was the girl for him.
Georgia Harrison and Anton Danyluk
After initially giving her “the ick” Georgia Harrison eventually realised she wanted to be with Anton Danyluk.
However, during the final weeks of All Stars the pair became more known for their bickering.
During the penultimate episode, Anton even chose to sleep elsewhere after ANOTHER row with Georgia.
But despite all this, they made it to the final and eventually finished in fifth place.
Josh Ritchie and Sophie Piper
OG Islander Josh Ritchie shot to fame in the very first season of Love Island.
During his time on All Stars he kept his options open, that was until Sophie Piper walked.
The Love Island 2020 star also knew what she wanted and that was Josh.
Who else starred on Love Island All Stars?
Love Island All Stars started with fourteen Islanders entering the South African villa on day one.
Over the weeks more bombshells were added, but this also meant other Islanders were dumped.
