Casey O'Gorman's ex reacts to Love Island stint after he 'lied' about All Stars

As the Love Island All Stars line-up was announced, one ex was left surprised as their former flame made a shock return to the villa - and they aren't the only one who was left fuming

Love Island alum Eve Gale has been left "surprised" and a little bewildered after her ex made his way back to the villa for Love Island All Stars .

The revelation comes after Casey O’Gorman apparently told her he wouldn’t be joining the star-studded series — a claim that’s now proven to be far from the truth.

Casey entered the villa in the ninth series of the show as a contestant, joined the show in the inaugural series of All Stars and finally entered the villa as a bombshell this year for the third time, on Tuesday 14 January during the second episode of the 2025 series.

Casey and Eve were coupled during the inaugural All Stars series in 2024. They paired up on Day 23 but were dumped from the villa on Day 28 after receiving the fewest votes for favourite couple. Following their exit, they spent a week together in South Africa before returning to the UK.

Speaking on FUBAR Radio ’s Access All Areas , hosted by Bobby Norris and Ellen Coughlan, Eve shared her reaction to Casey’s third stint on the show: “I am so surprised that he’s going in again,” she admitted. “I literally spoke to him not too long ago. We were like, ‘Are you doing All Stars?’ And we both said, ‘No, no, we’d never do that again.’”

Clearly, Casey’s decision has raised eyebrows — not least with Eve, but also with fans as they were left issuing the same question to show bosses after the news he would be heading back to the villa.

But Eve wasn’t the only one spilling the tea. Her twin sister, Jess Gale, joined in, sharing her thoughts on this year’s cast and the potential strategic moves at play. “With Ekin-Su [Cülcüloğlu] and Curtis [Pritchard], I just don’t know,” Jess mused. “I feel like they both know the game. They’re quite similar, switched on with TV. I mean, it’s funny — they’re great to watch.”

The pair’s apparent instant connection, though, has Jess questioning just how genuine the spark really is. “It’s so quick, isn’t it? Like, straight away they’re solid. You just don’t know whether it’s genuinely an amazing connection.”

Jess also revealed that she herself had been approached about a potential return to the villa — but firmly shut it down. “I saw the producers at the NTAs, like, the executives, and they were kind of like, ‘Would you do it again?’” she explained. “And I was just like, no. I feel like, if you do Love Island, you do All Stars once. But twice? That’s a bit much.”

Love Island All Stars 2025 airs weeknights and Sundays at 9PM on ITV2 and ITV X, with Unseen Bits every Saturday at the same time.
