Kaz Crossley signs up for Love Island All Stars as she returns to TV after ‘terrifying’ Dubai jail ordeal
WE can exclusively reveal that Kaz Crossley has signed up for Love Island: All Stars ahead of the new series starting next Monday.
Kaz Crossley is returning to Love Island after signing up to the iconic upcoming series of All Stars, which will be returning in a matter of days.
It will mark Kaz’s return to television after she was locked up in Dubai in what she described as a “horrifying ordeal” back in 2023.
She is joining old islanders including Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, India Reynolds, and Curtis Pritchard.
A source said: “Kaz has signed her deal for Love Island All Stars and is thrilled about going back.
“She had a rough time a year or so ago and this feels like an amazing opportunity for her to have some fun again.
“ITV were keen to sign her up and Kaz has signed her contract and is in South Africa.
“She will be announced as one of the cast tomorrow.”
Kaz first appeared on Love Island in 2018.
She went on to carve out a successful career of the back of her time on the show but in 2023 was locked up in Dubai.
At the time Kaz told pals she had been locked up with 30 women for days in the United Arab Emirates.
LOCKED UP IN DUBAI
She was freed without charge after being quizzed over an old video of her snorting a substance.
The shaken reality TV star told a mate how she was locked up in 30C heat — and left for days, confused and scared.
The Sun revealed how she had been detained at Abu Dhabi airport suspicion of drug offences, after stopping off during a flight to Thailand.
She was instantly hauled off to be quizzed by Dubai cops as part of a probe into a two-year-old video.
The footage, revealed by The Sun on Sunday, showed her in an orange dress snorting a suspicious white substance at a party in Dubai.
Love Island All Stars 2025 rumours
Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 - and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.
After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: “Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.
“We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.
“I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars.”
One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.
Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon ‘stole’ Grace Jackson after making his debut.
Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.
Despite the hunk’s brief stint, viewers have called for Harry’s return.
One upset fan wrote: “Get you in All Stars next”, to which Harry cryptically replied by posting ‘shrugging’ emojis.
But as UAE authorities didn’t have a translator, she was left clueless about why she was being held — and was only allowed to send out one monitored email to a pal to tell loved ones she had been detained.
Kaz told a friend: “They didn’t get me a lawyer or a proper translator. I couldn’t even have a shower.
“I was locked up with 30 other women, and had no idea why I was there for days – nobody would help me. It was the most terrifying experience of my life.”
SHAKEN UP AFTER DUBAI JAIL STINT
The pal added: “She’s very shaken up, the very worst thoughts were going through her mind.
“You see stories of Brits being banged up for years and years in these countries over drugs issues.
“She didn’t have drugs, but she had been associated with someone else police are looking into from a previous trip, and that’s why they arrested her.”
