This season of Love Island: All Stars is bringing in some major surprises, including six new contestants from the United States joining the villa.
Six new Islanders are heading to a second villa, where they’ll attempt to steal some of the existing contestants away from their current partners.
For the first time, a large group of new international contestants have all entered the show at once, creating a major impact,” a source told The Sun.
Everything will become clear soon, but the new contestants will live in a separate villa, away from the main group. Some of the original contestants will then visit to try and influence them.
One of the new contestants joining Love Island South Africa is Yamen Sanders, who was originally on the show nearly seven years ago.
