Love Island fans gobsmacked as married Islander 'signs up for All Stars'

Love Island fans have been left stunned by a reported returning star for the latest series of the hit ITV dating show

Fans of Love Island are eagerly awaiting the latest All Stars offering but have been left gobsmacked by one potential inclusion.

The hit ITV reality dating contest is set to welcome a number of the biggest hitters from previous series' in the South African villa as they once again go in search for love. With many former favourites already being linked, the first confirmed hopeful is service five star India Reynolds. Other names linked include Luca Bish and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

But one potential returning star has sent shockwaves through the most avid of fans for one reason - they are still married.

According to sources, former Blazin Squad member Marcel Somerville is "signing up" for another bash at the show. It's rumoured the 38-year-old will take a place in the villa when the Maya Jama hosted show returns to screens on January 15.

Taking to social media to share their discontent, one user fumed: "Marcel coming on this show is just diabolical. Grow up and file for divorce Sir." Another seemingly agreed and wrote: "Right because like I'm sorry but I do NOT want married people going on this show, even if they are going through a divorce. Finish the divorce."

And a third slammed: "He shouldn’t even be ALLOWED to be there. Producers are just as much at fault for casting a f****** married man."

The comments come after a source previously told The Sun: "Marcel Sommerville has had meetings with bosses about doing All Stars in January and he is toying with it. The cast has not been confirmed yet but he is keen for a fresh start after everything he has been through in his private life.

"Things have been on and off with him and Rebecca though so if they decide to give things another go, he may not do it but right now, it’s looking promising." They added that producers would "love to have him back".

As well as India's confirmation, it's thought Ronnie Vint will take up a spot in the villa once again. The 28 year old was spotted by a fellow passenger on board a flight to South Africa, in an image obtained by The Sun. Ronnie looked lowkey in a hoodie and a backwards cap, and kept his head down as he listened to music through his AirPods.

Alongside the image of Ronnie readying himself for the flight, a source claimed to the publication that the star is looking forward to trying to find love again. "Ronnie was a breakout star of Love Island last summer and while his hopes of finding love may not have worked out, he fancies a second shot in the villa," they said.
