Love Island All Stars new twist as viewers are handed control of launch episode – and voting opens NOW
LOVE Island All Stars’ launch night is just days away, and there is already a HUGE twist waiting for the legendary Islanders.
The All Stars show sees former contestants return for a second chance at love and there’s a huge shake-up on the first night to kick things off.
So far 12 stars have been unveiled to be heading into the villa, when the show kicks off on Monday.
All of the Islanders, who have appeared across series two to 11 of the ITV2 dating hit, were once able to step forward for who they fancied and choose their pairs themselves.
But The Sun can reveal that for All Stars show, the fans will decide who will be matched with who on Day One.
It means the public at home can choose to be kind and put potential perfect pairs together.
However, they can also be cruel and match exes like Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville.
Voting opened at 7.30am this morning, and fans cast their vote on ITV‘s Love Island app.
Bosses also used a viewer vote to pick the first set of couples for All Stars season one.
This saw fans put ex-couple Liberty Poole and Jake Cornish together.
In fact, this didn’t go down well at all with Jake, who left shortly after the show started.
Meanwhile, The Sun also revealed how the All Stars South African villa will see its living room filled with beds.
Fans think this is a sign that the series could be the biggest one yet, with more bombshells arriving than ever.
The show’s boss Mike Spencer told The Sun that there would be both double and single beds in order to house “extra people” throughout the run of the show.
Speaking from the villa, he told us: “You’ve got a double there and you’ve got singles all the way down here.
“Lots of extra spaces for lots of extra people.
“They pretty much can come in here and sleep here if they want, yeah.
“I think it’s just that hopefully we’ll have more people, so hopefully we’ll need more beds.”
Another new addition to the All Stars villa for season two is a secret garden.
Only Islanders who are NOT in a couple will be able to go into this area.
Speaking about the secret garden host Maya Jama said: “Basically if you want to go and do something naughty you can come down here.
“What happens in here stays in here.. or could get shown in movie night!”
Love Island All Stars kicks off on ITV2 on Monday, January 13 at 9pm.
